• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

Norman,
I arrived too late to get a copy of Dr. Schneider's book on early cuckoos but, fortunately, I got the next one on Beha and their competitors.
I spent a long time looking for models for some missing grape leaves in the skirt at the bottom
Do you mean the bottom garland at the back? Nobody would notice about that if untold:cool: I wouldn't dare to carve such things and I haven't got the time to learn...Luckily, I've found a good carver in my city, after many years of trying abroad!:D
I think that there is a lot of cuckoo clocks at Australia! Some time ago I contacted a guy who rutinely sold high end ones at eBay. In fact I bought the backboard I reused for this Gothic cuckoo from Australia. When I opened the envelope, a big fly came out. Instinctively, I killed it and later regretted... After all, maybe it deserved a better end, having survived to so a long journey!:rolleyes:

Aitor
