Unbelievable..........
Just responded in the tread that I am focused on then decided to go cruising. Well now I sure know where I fall in the food chain. I don't get serious often but seriously that IS a compliment, you all (as apposed to all you all, that's a Southern US phase. you all is singular, all you all is plural) are way beyond anything I will live long enough to achieve, I did fall into the right hole.

Just sat down this morning with a cup of coffee to do my wandering through the site finding all the nooks you guys hid in, but decided to do the whole 40 pages of your thread rather than jumping around. Didn't read every post but your pictorial timeline tells most of the story.
You are the freaking Martha Stewart of the modeling world
Just watching this come out of some sheets of wood to where it is, and am going to guess maybe not even half done is beyond.
It has to fall somewhere between a labor of love and a work of art. Simply AWESOME
