[billy.leliveld]

Sometimes we have unknown talents amongst us, Lachezar apparently has been a member for 2 years,only 5 posts, but what a great skill and talent, to make sure this short thread doesn't slip into oblivion too soon, I think it deserves this spot this week
His own designed "H . Zettelmeier steamroller" is premier-league papermodeling.
It is not published yet, so any publisher reading this, check it out!

Still working up directions.... and as many of you know they can be as hard as the model design! :)

I can vouch for that.

This is a BEAUTIFUL model! I don't believe I have ever seen such a clean "test build".

VERY NICE! A fine example to aspire to...

[OhioMike]

Outstanding chraftsmanship! A true artist at work here! Love these old steam tractor type designs. They are a big event every summer here in Ohio. They have competitions and everything. You see them constantly at fairs and even along the road a little farther south. Well deserved POTW!

[Nemesis7485]

A stunner! Congrats on POTW. Rightfully so, too.

[Kira]

This is so fantastically done!!

[Lachezar]

Thank you for the great words...I'm really really breathless by your kind words, also I'm so happy that you had choose my steam roller for the POTW... when I post for the first time my model I didn't expect that he will be so well welcome... again thank you so much and promise to try to finish with it as soon as possible!
