A fantastic work in deed! IMO this model is likely to be more interesting
and made with more respect, love and dedication than anything shown in the
various Disneyland parks around the world. The only thing that makes me a
little bit sorry about this is that Unca Carl Barks isn't alive to see this
true masterpiece. My warmest greetings, and my most sincerely respect herby
goes to Mats!
