You should not feel bad at all. Excellent work. And what I wrote to Duke Maddog the First applies here as well:

You, sir, are an artist.

Thanks Mark. Coming from the guy who recruited me into OC IPMS, that means a lot. And I sure do enjoy seeing your work as well. Your projects never cease to amaze me, along with your enthusiasm for 1/72 uniformity.

Thank you Bruce. Although I would say that we have a site full of artists here. Yourself included. I know it’s only a difference of one, from four to five, but that one made a big difference in my head. I was on a roll at the beginning of the year, then I got diverted and bogged down and that does bother me. Let’s see what 2020 has in store...

You and your wife built a new house in another state and that kinda explains the output, doesn’t it? Besides it’s not the quantity but the quality! Did you have a last planned moment in Cali before leaving???

Not so much built, as bought a new build. But that sure has taken some time and effort bouncing back and forth between the two. As far as last moment planned, that’s sort of up in the air depending upon what’s going on with work and such. Have to be out of the HB home completely at the end of next month.

With retirement your output should double this year! My fatherinlaw after retirement would always say he didn't know how he ever had time for a job he's to busy with all of his projects.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to all the free time. But there is so much competition for my soon to be free time at the new home... not to mention getting the new hobby areas up and running first...

Dang Carlos! 5 aint bad for all of the work that you put into these little masterpieces of yours. Nice awards too!!!

Thank you Joe. These five were about 40% OOB (17 Pdr & X-Wing), and 60% upgraded (Leo, 222, & BTR). But all were fun! The awards were icing on the cake.

A really superb collection of work Stik - all very nicely done!

Thanks Stuart. I’m glad that you like them.
