As a close follower and "student" of your blogs I searched through forums you've been known to post on with no contact so thought you might have left the hobby. <br /><br />Fortunately for all of us that apparently wasn't the case.

It motivated me to step up to the next level of realism by adding weathering to my models. Keep up the good work and continue sharing your great builds with all of us!! Take care and cheers!!

I remember meeting you at the show a few years ago, when your loving wife kicked you in the rear an said go. I hope to see you again soon, and I fondly remember meeting and talking with you. I am always amazed by your artistry and skill. When I look at the pictures of your work, they bring back memories of seeing the real vehicles or some like them in old barn and old garages that only can be found in the north eastern areas of the country. I sit and stare at your pictures and can smell old wood mixed with the stale smells of grease and oil and fuels. That magical scent of old barns and such with vehicles hiding forgotten for many years. I am so glad your building again and sharing your ability with us all.

One would have to look past all of the excellent highly detailed work you do to find a flaw. That person also doesnt realize that one off hand built/assembled/modified pieces often are not 100% perfect. Thats part of what makes them custom.<br /><br />Lets see if your detractor gets a request for 1000 of anything. <br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Lloyd MAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806514116860530004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848493298078012871.post-27415797187216297722017-02-04T08:22:56.850-05:002017-02-04T08:22:56.850-05:00I miss you old friend.
