Hey, William--that's some stunning work! Could you do us a favor though, and bump up the size of your font? It's really hard to read your post.

Not usually what we see here in "Armor", but a really nice change of pace. It will be interesting to see how you finish this beautiful piece!

Stunning build, william carls! Your attention to detail really shows, heck it would almost be a shame to cover up all that work with paint. It's a stunner even without the paint.Yes

WOW!  Amazing work you have done to the Gatling gun. Yes  It made me wish somebody can shrink me to 1/16 scale so I can play with it...

Hi fellas,

Stopped in to see if there was any responces to my post.

Boy, you make a guy feel good with all the nice comments : )

Thank you so much for the good vibes on my build. Makes me smile : )

I am not a prolific builder, but what ever I do, I give it my best shot...

There is one thing troubling me .... no one reocognizes my name...

I used my real name for my new account and thought it would probably be recognized....

Anyway long story short guys, it's me .. the 1/16 guy ? .... T-34 guy....

I guess maybe my bro' Terry Burke might be the only one who actually knew my name.. wierd...

Anyone?

Thanks again for the kind words on my build, odd subject that it is. ; )

Awesome skills there, absolutely beautiful build to be sure!! So reminds of Josey Wales when the band of hold outs "decently treated, decently fed, and then decently shot". at about 5:45 into the clip. Was your username Treadwell??

NOW I SEE!!!

This is totally in line with a treadwell build. Uniquely interesting and as mentioned, almost a shame to cover in paint. I know it WILL look fantastic because I remember the T34, the Sherman and the Kingtiger you are currently working on.

(Looking forward to THAT last one)http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/CommentCrazyGirl/Smileys%20Emotions/Flirt%20Love/wow3.gif

http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m588/lesbian_seagull/smileys/trailerparksmiley.gif Just me & the Flamingo now. Most of the gang is gone this week.

I've been pretty much in a funk for the last while. Every time I start to do something I'll just lose interest, put it down and walk on by...... I'm afraid I'm getting bored or maybe just loosing interest.

At least I still keep a watch on the forum though.
