That is built by Serge Roberge, isn't it? What a fantastic, beautiful model. Even if you allmost could get a used real one for the same money...?

Great job by Serge. I’m sure the time is coming when the model will be worth more than the real thing.

Boy, that appears to be one early tower. It kind of looks that they are rigging up to raise it.

Hi, Somebody is getting a new toy. Just saw the top part of a NEW Madill Tower go by on a Lowbed, sitting at my desk on Keating Cross Rd, Victoria. Think was Leader Mercantile's bed. Congrats to who ever. Thanks Doug.
