Thank you Don. High praise indeed from a journeyman.

I will endeavor to maintain a high standard of design and construction. If I fall short, I’ll soothe my deficiencies with a glass of wine, and peruse someone else’s thread for inspired excellence.

For your next model, you need to create a bunch of wilted roses.

Then add a ribbon that says "Besides your beauty even the fairest bloom wilt and fade into insignificance"!

Wow! This is really splendid idea and a very well done piece of work!

I must think of something similar for my wife to make amends for all the evenings spent on the cutting and gluing some scraps instead of looking at and talking with her...

Kit bashing

My avatar and the hearts originated with the work of Xavier Gale-Sides (Professor X & Madrox Paper Figures) from My Paper Heroes blog and Abi Braceros (My Heart Paper Figure) from her OH-SHEET.com website. My avatar requires quite a bit of Photoshop work to get it right. I’m attempting to get in contact with both creators for their permission to issue sheets of my rework of their models. I'll post the PDF's as soon as I have their OK.

I apologize for the lack of follow-up on the posting of the printable parts. I had a devastating death in the family.

The papercraft artist Xavier Gale-Sides was very kind to approve my re-use and posting of his work. I will attempt to format the files and get them posted for everyone to download ASAP.

Due to your comment in the Passing of Rick Steffers thread I followed the link to your Something for Her thread. I don't think that anyone realized that the devastating death that you referenced in your final post was your own dear wife, the recipient of this heartfelt little diorama. What a terrible loss for you. My deepest condolences, MOD.

Don,

I apologize for the late response. I was unable to address your kind words, which really struck me.

I struggled for 7 months. The loss has been profound in ways words cannot convey. Thank you so very much for your thoughtful message. It is deeply appreciated.

Be well
Christopher Scott
