Bob, this is way more than I ever imagined. Big thank you for the award and the fact that you took the time to compile it all.
I must admit that when I joined MA I did it because I wanted to learn more from the man who had been my inspiration since few years ago when I stumbled upon his site. And now, one year on, I have this .... I can't find the words to describe how it feels.
Soon after I joined, I started reading posts, browsing through the site and I found so many models that are inspiring, a wonderful display of modeling skills in all areas. But, more importantly, reading the posts I saw how people talk to one another and I have seen nothing but support, appreciation, a plethora of advice and ideas. That is what makes MA be what it is - the BEST
When I started posting my own stuff, I got the same "treatment" and that made it such a great experience, it made the builds a lot more fun, a lot more educational, it's been really great.
MP - you are doing such a great job with this site so big thanks to you for doing all the hard work.
In no particular order, and I do apologize in advance for not capturing all the names on this list, I want to say a big thank you to Mats, Ron, Luiz, Ian, James, Terry, Ernie, Dave (amazing job with the photos), Christian, Les, Paul, Mike, each and every single one of you, who have posted on my threads. I really appreciate it.
OK, enough with the mushy speech :smack . Canberra Expo is this weekend, they call it SCALEACT (ACT is the Australian Capital Territory) - 3 hours drive. Waaaaaaay behind where I'd want to be, working like mad to get stuff finished. This is one of the best shows in Oz (my opinion), google SCALEACT 2014 and you'll find their site, it's really cool.
Off to the bench now, sleep for 5 hours if I'm lucky then work. :frantic
