Wow, I just got caught up again. Bruce, I'm sorry to hear of your friend; I'll be praying for his swift and full recovery. You take care of yourself as well; we still need to meet!
Those shots of railroad engines are amazing and that Confederate rail car was also something I never knew existed. Most interesting.

Thank you, Duke and Kenny. It’s tough for me to prioritize plastic kits at the moment. I do have new thoughts about some slight improvements to the kit engine, but most of the time I am thinking about how short life is.

I am too Bruce, all the time after my brush with cancer. It's also why I've been trying to step up my production... I have too many kits I want to finish before I go...

Yes it is, when any glory ever comes by me anyway. Still, I savor what little I get when it does come. Most importantly though for me is what I did for God while I passed through this life. That is the most glorious. If I can make a few more models along the way then that is simply cream on the cake.

Great words, Duke. As a cancer survivor, I feel your emotion and energy. My buddy who writes comic books wants to explore the lives of the saints (Mary of Egypt, Anthony, Christopher) and I told him I would be extremely interested in drawing their stories. Perhaps we will find an audience.
