Wow, fantastic build, Daniel!
Hi Stephan, are you planning on building one of these?
Hello Bill, thank you for the compliment. It has been a few years since I have been up in your area. It looks like Round Rock, Pflugerville, and Hutto are now just a part of North Austin! Looking at Google Earth, I didn't realize how that whole area has exploded.

I hope to get my hands someday on that kit. To expensive for me now. Maybe scratchbuilding it.
Hi Daniel, your description of the greater Austin area is pretty spot on. In what area of Houston do you live? (I was born in Houston, much of my family is still there). Back in my days at Texas A&M, we'd go to Austin on the weekends and those little towns were just that - little and spread out. Not long after I graduated, Dell created the big wave that spurred so much growth - definitely a big town now. Come visit soon!
Hi Bill, I live on the far West side of Houston, actually in an unincorporated portion of Fort Bend County, Sugar Land area. Back in the 1980's I would go with the company I worked for to Austin to bid on Tex DOT state highway work. Hard to believe that was over 40 years ago.
