Alan, if by chance your on here reading this, I'm still here. I went through some really rough times when I lost my son in 2008, and my life as a forum host didn't last too long. Trying to run it and constantly screen it got members to turn on me quicker than a unicycle on ice. Over time I got so depressed, and down on myself over things that I ended up in a Hospital for about three weeks. To this day, I'm still seeking therapy, but I am NOT embarrassed by this. This year 2021 is the first year I have actually been excited about arriving. I have done a couple builds and posted them on a Facebook page, but now maybe I can post them on here. I have FINALLY gotten closer to finishing my office in the shop, after three years, and I'm hoping to pour something in resin just to see if I can.. I also have a Facebook page, just Fred Sudlow. I just posted a new build on there, and have been up loading photos of ALL the resin items I ever made. Thanks for all your nice words, and all your purchases. I read comments like yours, and I get humbled and a little embarrassed that I broke down and quit.

I realize it's too late, but I want to apologize to everyone for their disappoint in me. This was not my intention. I was originally approached by Dave Burkett of Model King about the 35 Chevy modified. We had decided that I would do a brief "How To" inside the box. A disclaimer was agreed to be put on the outside of the box. Unfortunately, there was no agreement or even a thought to the size of the font. My whole rein business started with that 35 sedan modified. In my defense who of any of you sitting at your hobby desk right now wouldn't do a complete back flip if someone asked you to build a model to be put on the cover of an AMT kit box?? Over time I was asked to do three. No one involved meant to be disappointed. Everyone was more less starting a fairly new business, and a lot that we did not know, was expected to be done by AMT. I honestly feel terrible every time I see someone disappointed in me. I have actually struggled with myself and my mind since my sons death in 2008. Things evolved over the years until in Jan of 2020 I was placed in a hospital. After a sufficient time there, and receiving help, 2021 will be my first year that I'm actually looking forward to being alive, and doing things I have missed for years. Again, I apologize for my errors and mistakes. Fred Sudlow
