Hey John!

Good to see you on WIX! Found some of your other threads on Modeling Madness a few years ago and I gotta say, my jaw dropped. Beautiful work you do, and in that scale your able to pack in all the detail you can muster! I work in 1/144 so its a little like the opposite.

Interested in doing some vintage Connecticut displays like the original 2 hangars at the Sikorsky Memorial Airport that date back to around 1911? Or even an Agustive Whitehead aircraft!? :D

Okaaaaay.

I build models sometimes. I also used to play hockey.

In hockey, there are some really good players I can learn from. Then there are some that I can't. All I can really do is sit back and admire what they do. What they do, can't be learned.

In modeling, I can already see you are in the second category.

I look forward to seeing your work and not trying to learn from it!

August
