I think our own Tim A. is an AMAZING MODELER as well with all the Pete stuff he does as well as making the masters for the casters to do. Matt (monkeyclaw) is another one with his 1/16 scale items, especially his latest--the "yellow" engine. Tony is another master in hobby as well. The Bitners are a great father & son team that scratch some "amazing" stuff as well, without the use of a CNC machine. Shall I continue?
I can only hope one day to achieve the level that they have, but I do have certain limitations, so I will continue on as I can, when I can.
