chuckw - really happy to see your posts and humor still en fuego! Your passion (and Helldiver! thread) re-ignited my interest in aviation models after being forced to put them away for the last 25 years for the kids. Fast forward - my last child going to college (in Walla Walla no less) - the paint stores have dried up but not my interest - and your threads and wacked artwork are superb. I still live in LA so I get the move - whidbey is a cool place - my dad was a navy engineer that built that runway.
Great work - inspiring - and stoked you are feeling better - cheers!
