Yes. I went back and saw the article on Lee's model. Very nice job Lee and a great article.
Thanks Bill and Ryan. I appreciate it.

By the way, I liked the Ralphie quote. ;)
Finally! You're the first to comment on it. :)
Cleaver e-mailed me and said I had the codes wrong on the airplane. I wrote back and informed him that he obviously hadn't read the article at all. I find that in a lot of comments on reviews I've written. They look at the pictures only and then fire away from there.

At least you get comments. I am lucky if I get a thread. Granted your work with the review and build are much better so I would expect that.
Lee, I think Cleaver could learn a thing or two about taking pictures of models from you, especially if that's all he looks at. Half the time his are so blurry, I would have a hard time reading any of the decals applied to his models... Oh wait, I'm being critical, better stop.
Great build, especially considering the rework you had to do to it!

Thanks, Joe.
Someday, I'll tell you off-line of all the issues surrounding Tom Cleaver's photography. Suffice it to say, he should know better given his experience as a photographer. It has been pointed out dozens of times both to himself and to Scott Van Aken with no noticeable improvement.
All of these mysteries, of course, will be cheerfully and easily explained in my demonstration on model photography this coming Sunday. It will, of course, be the modeling event of the year. ;D

This coming Sunday? It is only the 2nd weekend, wow better get my stuff in gear.

January 1 was a Sunday, January 8 was a Sunday, and January 15 is the third Sunday of the month, so our meeting is scheduled accordingly.
Lee K
yep, my head was where it didn't need to be, thought I was gonna need a crane to pull it out....
M2. sounds like something out of James Bond. where can I find the review article on Lee's spit?
Lee, you had that Spitfire body and tail so nicely grafted together at the meeting, I didn't realize how much work it looks like it took to get it there based on your pictures. Amazing build. I myself would have just gone Calvin and Hobbs on the plane at the point it broke; another lost to AAA.

Thanks, Matt! Lots o' Superglue in that union right there.
