You've had an amazing life. Thanks for taking the time to share it. :drinks
Now for a fresh cup and finish catching up. :java
Wow, I am honored and humbled to be a part of a community of such auspicious modelers. I look back at all you've done; take note of the times and dates and I remember back to how clueless and out of touch I was despite building models almost incessantly during many of the years you mention. I almost cry thinking of how much I missed out on seeing all this. You have lived a magnificent life. While I'm extremely proud of my milestone in small scale armor; it seem so exceptionally inconsequential to such monumental accomplishments such as yours are. Heck. if you had room; I'd offer to bequeath the whole armor collection to your museum for display after I'm gone, but that won't happen. LOL! I always felt that Verlinden and many other companies have always neglected my scale; thinking it too 'small' and unpopular to even consider a few pieces. That being said, I have to say I was quite thrilled to see the few 1/72 scale pieces that you built. It felt good that someone of your stature would try something in my chosen scale.
I am anxiously awaiting Chapter IV and I am making plans to try and come to the Omaha Nationals and meet a very good friend of mine there. We are discussing the possibility of coming a day or two earlier just to come spend the day at your museum. I do hope and pray it is possible.
Once more, I bow in the presence of great magnificence!
Thank you very much for including my most cherished Mastercon "Eagle", in this epic history narrative with fabulous photos.
The EAGLE is always at my right keeping company at the workbench, as you can see with these photos from years gone by.
Thanks for sharing. Much more intriguing than today's excuse for tv programming. :drinks
spotted someone....
Thanks for the mention Dad!
Not much left to say after reading all these chapters. Glad you took the time to tell the story. It is such a great gift, to be able to talk about all these things in a way that is so captivating.
Only speaking for myself here, I have always wanted to know more about the history of our hobby, who did what and when, who is famous for what and so on and so forth. Here in Oz, we don't have anywhere near the number of modelers, competitions and stuff like you lot have in the US and even Europe. Possibly because Australia only has 23 million people on a land the size of the US minus Alaska.
Thank you for putting it all together, for all the words and photos and so much more.

Bob, thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to share with us your life's work.
I had been away from the forum for little while so had missed this, thanks to SA Dave for sharing this with me.
I have to take a moment and say how much your work has inspired me in my own, I'm sure the humble man that you are would find these comments amusing. But its thanks to you and Shep that has driven me in my own take if you will in this hobby. So before i forget to say it, Thank you for inspiring me and pushing me to be a better model making.
Now to go read some more....... :yipee
Thank you for your contributions to the hobby Bob . It sure has come a long ways since I started out .
All this from robbing the cookie jar . Awesome
I also want to thank you for your long years on the police force . Without you guys , this place would be a much darker place to live.
Looking at all the buildings made me remember growing up in Europe . Glad I was fortunate enough to miss the years that you are modeling .
Cheers, Christian B)
