cobraman Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey John. In case I have missed something is there a site that I can go to and see all you past builds ? I have caught several that have been in the model magazines but was hoping you have a site with all of them in one place with larger photos than are in the magazines. Love your work. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
