Hello Isaac

Thank you so much for taking the time to post.  I greatly appreciate it.

I'm flattered that you'd go to such trouble.  A bit boggled, mind you, but
flattered.  :)

This is going to sound a bit odd, but 8 hours is actually kind of short for some
of the projects I've done.  The Hansom Cab driver is definitely one of the most
paint-intensive projects ever for me, though.  It might be added that this is
the _second_ attempt.  I'd pretty much finished doing that brown torso in a
different tartan pattern, and just wasn't happy with the results, so I sanded
things back down to bare plastic and started over.

I have seen some of your work, and admire your dedication in getting your
prototypes into production.  Congratulations.

I look forward to the chance.

I'm working on a couple of things that will likely lead to a post concentrating
on modification techniques (as opposed to painting) in the next several days.


All the best,

Norbert Black

Hi Norbert, I was actually just admiring your pics on Brickshelf the other day, and I liked them so much that I was determined to find out who you are by searching for your name on Lugnet, and voila I found this thread :) I still can't believe (...)
