Case in point, I just got a couple of sheets of PARMA masks from Mercman, a pleasant surprise indeed. How many times have we not exchnged goodies, or simply just sent a buddy a much needed part. Yes, my friends, it's what makes this forum so special. Thanks, Junior and all those who are always coming to the rescue of others. You know who you are!

I know they are for RC bodies, but figured they may work on large vehicles like semi's. Been hanging on a hook for years, you see how much use they got. So with you paint skills I figured you'd make better use of them . Enjoy my friend.

Admin--Chief Crank Posts: 14,947 Group: Admin Member #666 Joined: April 1, 2007	I am sure I will put them to good use, buddy. Many thanks. You are always thinking of other people. Normally, I would say that's a rare trait, but on this forum it seems to be true of many folks!

Bronze Medal Member Posts: 2,705 Group: Members Member #482 Joined: November 25, 2006	I forgot till recently that Mr. Ken H. came to my rescue awhiule back. During the RAD build I needed a camera person. Remembering that Ken had some at the Kruise, I asked him if he had a spare. He sent me a dozen or so little people, and some other goodies. There are many others here also that should be mentioned for the help with ideas, parts, and know how. So everyone on this board should take a Bow. Edited by Mercman, Nov 3 2009, 10:22 PM.

Diorama Moderator Posts: 4,228 Group: Members Member #522 Joined: December 13, 2006	....so THAT's where all those little people ran off to...... PS: You guys are getting all blubbery about all this little crap you send back and forth, but nothing in the world compares to the Kruize Jacket. That's something I'll never forget. (well...unless I get Alzheimers or something) You guys are the best. Edited by khamilton, Nov 3 2009, 11:24 PM.

And then there was the Dan, NK and Ben sewer lid co-op project. My next build will have shale in it from Howard's yard. Its like a real model club. Nice to have a place to hang out.

Very cool. Interesting. Because just lately some people wandered AWAY from Mercmans town, found their way out west here! Even brought along a little unexpected luggage. I'll post pix later. Thanks, Junior!
