Hello!
That's a nice story, and I wish Patrick success - I hope he can make his hobby a job if it is what he wants.
I looked up his models, however, and I have to say - well, I've seen a lot of models made to higher standards on the forums here! I don't mean to belittle Patrick's work - I just thought myself, the journalist writing about it just didn't have an idea, that much cooler things are doable and being done even as we speak! It's just a pity that the general public pays so little attention to the works of modellers, which often are legitimate works of art. Maybe Patrick can change that almost a little!
Good luck to Patrick, thanks for reading and have a nice day
