The one on the far right with the homemade cast base is a little closer to you, in New Zealand and was freshly painted upon arrival

(I bought it from Mike (Maxwell) off ebay and didn't realize it till I seen his name on the shipping label)

And the one on the left is in Texas with Charlie



And the one I kept came from bigal
