Ha ha , I was considering volunteering on Texas but I wasn't up for the driving back and forth . I hate driving . I spent too much time driving around Houston when I was working .

They appear to be pretty on schedule .
This is long overdue .
I went there as a kid several times , like elementary age , and then again when I first left the Navy back in 92 .

They have their own channel but the Fox station was the first to upload the move --- the other local stations have a live feed currently .

I never heard of "Hunt the Kaiser's Cruisers", Momo, thanks for sharing those!
I've long had an idea to build a German African lake cruiser, a la the "Königin Luise" from "The African Queen", in 54mm, and cast and paint a crew. Others have produced British Nile river boats, or gunboats along those lines, and they look really cool when finished. These videos are pulling the idea to the front of my mind again.
