Congratulations Bob!!

Congrats again, Bob. When I saw your reaction, I thought you were about to pass out :lol:

 

[btavis]

Well Pete, I did have momentary "rubber legs." I remember Alex De Leon having a similar reaction when he won BOS. Incidentally, where is Alex these days?

 

[Automata]

Well deserverved Bob! It is a great piece of work. I'm glad I got a chance to see it in person.

Bob - to be honest, I thought you were going to burst out crying :lol: last I heardabout Alex, he was dreaming of riding his hog while flying a desk in DC. I'm sure you'll see him in Tulsa. By the way, you've got me thinking that there may be a good chance they'll need to dust off the grass skirt this year.

Barry - dude, it was a blast hanging out with you and your wife in the hospitality suite yesterday. Looking forward to hanging out with you soon (Chicago, perhaps?).

 

[JCOX]

Congratulations Bob! A well deserved honor. I only regret that I likely will not see this live in Atlanta next year.

Congratulations, Bob! Very well done!

I think you have an interesting way of seeing and interpreting the events you portray. Obviously, it resonates with those who attended the show.

I saw your WWI piece at Long Island last year, and I can't wait to see this "live" at MFCA or Expo. Great work and well-deserved kudos!!

Barry - dude, it was a blast hanging out with you and your wife in the hospitality suite yesterday. Looking forward to hanging out with you soon (Chicago, perhaps?).

It was damn fun, Pete. I'm pretty sure I'll be in Chicago this year - I can't wait! I think I'm hooked on the show thing.

No World Expo for you?

By the way Pete, I took a picture of you at SCAHMS.

Bob,
I can't remember how the internet abbreviation goes...but I am ROLLING ON THE F---ING FLOOR LAUGHING MY F---ING ASS OFF :lol:
Anybody know a teeshirt maker? When's Chicago? This is great!

Bob,

Oh ... my ... God ......

I'll make sure to post some pictures of you from the hospitality suite over on TnT.

 

[JBoisson]

VATO :lol:

Just an update on this piece. It took a gold medal at World Expo much to my delight. However there was a glitch at the awards ceremony as my name was inadvertantly left off the list for Shep Paine to read from. In any case Bill Horan is sending it along by post.

Also, in issue 51 of Historical Minaitures there will be an article on the creation of this piece which to most Planeteers will not be anything new as I posted the SBS here.

I must say that in my relatively short modeling career this piece has done extraordinarily well at all shows.

Either I am damn lucky or I must be on to something I also must say that having PF has been very instrumental in my development and I owe a debt of gratitude to all the members. Thank you.

 

[PJ Deluhery]

Well-deserved, Bob! I thought maybe I missed your name when Shep read the awards. Applause, applause!!

 

[JCOX]

Congratulations Bob! Wish I could have seen this one in person.

All the best,
