I too would have preferred to see it modeled as it stood performing its noble duty, not in its retirement setting. Having said that, I'll still buy it, simply because its a unique & handsome piece of work. That wasn't the case with Drum Point - it was too similar to Thomas Pt (but not as appealing) and it was in an unnatural setting. Accordingly, I didn't buy the piece. Please HL, no more "out-of-their-environment" pieces.
