I am sure you all out there in Model Land peruse other modeling sites. I do, and in my travels I have notice something very special about this site. That is the vast depth of modeling talent posted here. NOW please I am not saying that other sites don't have outstanding contributions or contributors. Just here, I have seen some of the most outstanding modeling. This is from a guy who has been at this since the the early 1970's and MAN O MAN the work here is incredible. Now in case you missed these gems, give a look see: (JUST TO NAME A COUPLE THAT CAME TO MIND)
- The post apocalyptic OV-10 ZOWIE
- Dierks 250- captured
- The retired FW-190
- A couple of things I have humbly noticed for myself is:
How being exposed to such outstanding work has helped me want to be better. It's kinda like when I used to golf, EVEN though I blew chunks most of the time. When paired with a good golfer my game got better not worse.
How willing builders are willing to help and give tips not advise. You know like golfing with that Putz who won't shut up about how YOU need to do this and that.
Anyway I am humbled by the excellence shown here, in a hobby that some say has seen it's day. Just thought I'd say so.......

First of all: I am humbled to be considered worthy of mention in your short-list - and I must get round to finishing the '250... And yes, I have noticed! Although I do have a look at other forums, I am no longer active on any others but MSC. It has certainly made me a better modeller being surrounded by all these great craftsmen and woman - it has made me up my game and push the envelope - with varying success. I love the international flavour of this forum and the members have become a veritable ersatz family.

I too have narrowed my Forums from the " Period Correct ", " Traditional Only " sites and enjoy the diversity of this forum and willingness of most of it's members to participate and encourage everyone in their indevores. There are so many modeling techniques, which cross over into every aspect and genera.
