 Mario,

Looks great. Are those slats on the canopy fitted into grooves? It doesn't look like any grooves are there, but you certainly placed them perfectly.

 Ray, Mike , and Arthur Thank you very much guys!!!!

Gene,

thank You very much. Nope no grooves. I just took some serious measuring and then measuring again every few slats to make sure they fit as perfectly as i could get them. Then i used a toothpick to place the glue so it would not be seen. Thats why it took a bit to get this canopy done.
But i guess I'm a little like you. Always trying to push myself to do better and loving a bit of a challenge...

 Very nice job Mario. I think they need to change the box cover picture now. Great example of making something your own.

 Mario, I agree with Winston-really nice; for me looks better than picture of the model on the box!!!

And that steam engine is just a masterpiece!

Regards, Miljenko
