It's an impressive display of incredible art work. The first time I saw it I was very young and it had a major influence on me and the way that I build models. Its one thing to build a plastic model kit and a craftsman type kit takes a lot more work, but creating a detailed miniature from a bunch of tree branches is a whole different thing. My autographed copy of August Crabtree's book has really taken a beating since the early 60's I just found a hard to find copy another book about his models that has color pictures and it was at a price I couldn't resist.
