Howdy Johnny,

I have been following this thread for sometime now without commenting because I knew that you were about to show everyone something that most people dont believe..... Card models can be as beautiful as a plastic model kit and sometimes even more so.
I totally concurr with Barry on his statement, you are a true master of the craft and I want to thank you for showing the folks here in the forum just what can be achieved with paper.
A few years ago when I first came to this forum, I tried to stir some interest in cardmodels, I posted links to free downloads of all types from aircraft to cars, trucks, rockets, airships, sci-fi models such as star wars, a few animals and models of things that myself or other forum members had built in plastic. The response was really good, I even created threads at the cardmodels forum inviting members there to join here and invited the members here to join there. All in hopes of opening a new "world" to the members of this site.
Well, I know of several members here, like RJ Woods and Russell Sharp aka Desert rat racer and a few others who have taken a liking to cardmodels.
However, I believe you have done more to promote cardmodelling in this one thread than i have in the 3 years that i have been a member here, for this, I salute you!
Your model is beautiful and even though I have built cardmodels in the past, each time I see one "come to life" from what I know were once flat sheets of paper, it amazes me still.
All I can say is Bravo and keep up the good work, I look forward to the completion of this model and your next endevour.

Have a good day,

Greg aka GEEDUBBYA (GW)
