Michael's build of Goldenbear's Masterpiece was a match made in heaven. You guys got to birds with one arrows here, a Master builder, and a Master Designer. Two people I personally admire in with very good company!! Gen-D's Mustang and all those real parts he secretly miniaturized with his magical miniaturizing machine and Mike Dixon's Corsair, with all that Pipework that made me almost hear the engine, well that was a great trio. The best of the best!

This forum honored three excellent modelers, a and also a great designer, and took away nothing from anyone else in doing so. Well done Billy Peter, Rickstef Jason,Chris, ARMORMAN. Cmags and whomever else I've missed for handling the forum so well. :)

Thanks Billy and Peter,
I appreciate the recognition. Often I look around at all the inspiring work this site has to offer...... and so much of it is equally deserving of recognition and more. Thanks so much to all of you for celebrating this wonderful old battleship with me.
Regards to all,
Mike

And Happy New Year!
