Thanks guys!  Weathering is one of my favorite aspects of the build!

No worries!  It was a big blow when I first learned of his passing.

 

 

thank you so much!

Indeed. He was a friend to all of us and I always enjoyed his posts. It was always good to talk to him.

I'm sorry. I did not intend to derail your thread. Your Corsair is gorgeous.

Very sad indeed.  He was one great human!

I build this over in the 'Absent Friends Group build' in honor of our lost friend, Toshi, and my dad, who I lost this summer to cancer.  They both loved the Corsair, so I couldnt resist!  I am stlll working on a Tropical Iland base for her, complete with palm trees and white sand covered iin PSP...
