Hi everyone! Chuck has been busy with the "Movie" Memphis Belle and unable to post any new pics for a while. However, be assured that we have continued to make progress. With that being said, here are a few to reignite everyone's interest... I'll try to get some more detailed pictures posted next week.

I'll apologize in advance for the quality of some of the images as they were taken with my cell phone in less than ideal lighting conditions.

Wonderful update, thanks! Looks like it is progressing nicely. 8)

Must be pretty busy down there with the Movie Belle, Labrador bird, and the Liberty Belle.

That's because you have a cat guarding them -- now if you had a Belgian, the photos would be happy.....

About 5 years late on this, but I'm sad to say Photobucket nuked most of the update images. Hope to see an update sometime soon, if possible!
