   Yes.  They were passing around at work a copied sheet of paper with a large circle drawn on it, with the words " roundtuit. "

You have a pm coming.

when I was a youngster, someone gave me a wooden roundtuit and was told not to go out and spend it right away...LOL

PMs seen and replied to....Thanks!

I received this model in the mail today from John.
I had no idea what build he was going to send me.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box to find this beautiful build.

I'm always amazed at the quality paint jobs John achieves with acrylic paint and a paint brush. Some very nice hand lettering also.

I will proudly display this in my display case.

I received my surprise today, and WOW.......as Bob states, John is quite the artisan with his brush painted bodies. I'm amazed. Thank you John, for sharing your builds with the gang, DEFINITELY a cool and modest approach to thin your herd.

I will post up pics ASAP, but it will be a few days....I'm heading out of town for work related business. A HUGE "Thank you" again to John.....I'm honored to have a few examples of his collection in my home.

   Uh oh.  Can I get that one back, please ?

Only kidding.  Trying to get some of these models a good home, and I know it has one here.  Thanks, so much, Bob, for taking one, and showing these great pictures. Your  photography skills are first class.

I appreciate it so much.

[john2]

   And thanks to you also, Thom, for taking some of the orphans.  I am amazed at you guys. 

Be careful on your trip. 

[sentsat71]

Wow, Bob!!!
that one just slipped into your display case just like it had been there all the time!!   

[Dr. Kerry]

Koolness!!!!!!!

I had not seen that build bob received......beautiful work John!

[john2]

   Ok, update Number 2.

I have mailed off 24 models, with 9 more promised.  I am having trouble getting boxes, so bear with me, and I will eventually get to everyone.

I started with 88, and would like to keep about 10, but there are more than that special to me.   Very hard to choose. 

[Dr. Kerry]

No way I could narrow mine down to 10........  I wouldn't know where to start, so I feel your uncertainty on choosing John!!!!!!

[john2]

   Thanks, Doc.  I'll get to you eventually. 

Yes, very difficult to choose, but I do know that they will be in good hands.

[Dr. Kerry]

  Thanks, Doc.  I'll get to you eventually. 

Yes, very difficult to choose, but I do know that they will be in good hands.

They will but I still don't think I could do it!!!! Your a stronger man than I am!!!!!

[BobD]

John - This model would look good on anyone's shelf!  Nice!

[john2]

   Thank you, Bob.  You are next on my list. 

I believe I have probably built 300 models over my lifetime.
