The Spruce Goose is built by a Gentleman named John Meyer.
Have been following his WIP on a facebook discussion group for more than a year.
Impressive in picture, must have been totally outstanding in reality!

It was Kari! I watched him bring it in on a special tray. I was amazed it got in the door! Stunning work!

Hi Bruce,
We returned pretty good. But since end of August so many incidents and changes happened avoiding me from modeling. New job, defect and replaced heater. The old heater forced a water damage in two rooms. Affected is also my working space. I hope to return to it and modeling in two or three weeks.

Good luck recovering from that heater issue. At least afterward you should have a better workspace!
Welcome back Marius!

So sorry to learn the news of the flooding. Good luck with repairs. I sincerely hope none of your models were damaged by the moisture. That would be very difficult. Also you mention changing to a new job, my sincerest best wishes for your success, Marius!

A beautiful build of a forgotten “fabulous 50’s” type!
Very nice to see your work here again!
