Hi Nick - fair point but there’s plenty of room left in his last one. It does get scruffier and scruffier so looks up me like he lost interest. However it survived the war with his others - I wonder if he sent them home somehow in Jan 45 when it looked like the war was ending? Might explain why they survived but stopped being completed!
