Holy Crap I won something!

I'd like to thank the Academy, God who makes all things possible, my partner in this life and my inspiration Eric the Dog, my agent Mo Schmelman who stuck by me even when other's wouldn't and my high school acting coach Mrs Grabalotofzis who always used to say.............................................. ( camera pans back,music starts cut to commercial)

Seriously though Thank you thank you thank you. Just what I needed to come home to after the past few days. But I couldnt have done it without you guys, for a guy who 18 months ago was using tube glue, didn't own any sandpaper or filler, and never seen an airbrush I've been helped alot along the way. With this one the grace extended by Jeffrey (those are his bombs and rockets you know), Evan and Barry was invaluable.

But most of all I had fun and that's what it's about, and the best parts are
1. I really was not inspired by the premise of this build initially and was just gonna do something perfunctory just to be part of the team.
2. I did not want that kit, was never gonna build it and really it was the only piece of crap I was willing to part with for a build I didn't want to do.

But like all the best ideas, and what i've learned here it all starts with that simple "I wonder what it would look like if....."

Again thanks guys and thank for giving all us creative loons a place to be nutty.
