....And people who don't know, laughed when I told them that sheet, strip, and shaped styrene, stripwood, carpenter's glue, and liquid plastic cement, twisted wire, and ground died foam, were my "brushes and oils", and a "layout" was my canvas.
The exchange of compliments, for my part, comes out of a respect for the skills, execution, and vision, that I see through the eyes of one who understands the level of creativity, and the talent required, to build models of quality.

My learning started with the works of John Allen, and his Gorre and Daphetid, Feb. 1959 Model Railroader.

The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
