Nice and great that they are made by the hands of a master modeler as opposed to an unknown entity at a trophy shop.

Alex, I have known you for quite awhile now and I can't remember a time when you were not fired up!

Your enthusiasm is contagious!

Beautiful job on the awards. They mean so much more when they are unique!

Thank you Rock Soldier.

It was a lot of fun planning and making these and an honor handing them over to the winners.

To answer your question, this is a 'one-off', but could be a new start for me.

Take care.
