Harry P. Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 The other day, forum member Greg Wann PM'd me and asked for my home address... he said he had a surprise to send me. Well, to be honest, I don't know Greg, never have had any communication with him via PM before, so I was curious about this "surprise" he wanted to send me. It turns out that what he sent me was a fairly large roll of some very fine stainless steel mesh... perfect for grille mesh on the types of models I usually build. Greg sent me this completely unsolicited, just out of the blue, because he figured I could use it. So a big thank you to Greg for being so thoughtful. Yeah, we have a few troublemakers here who stir the pot from time to time and keep me busy cleaning up messes... but we also have members like Greg... a lot of them. Guys like Greg Wann are what make this place worth hanging out at.
Petetrucker07 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 That was very cool. I enjoy this forum very much. There would be more than a few kits and resto projects that would never have seen the light of day if not for the awesome people on here.
crazyjim Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Agreed Harry. There are LOTS of wonderful people on this forum.
Snake45 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I wonder where he got it. I've been looking for something exactly like that, with no success at all.
mikemodeler Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 That was very nice and thoughtful of Greg, and it doesn't surprise me. Some may know that he is a resin caster and he mentioned that he cast a '67 Camaro convertible body. I inquired and he sent me a body, and a few extra pieces to go with it, totally unsolicited. Yep, we have a lot of good guys here, many of them remain anonymous, and they make up for the clowns that can drive ya nuts.
Harry P. Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Yes, I know about his resin stuff. In fact, he was even going to send me a resin body, too! But when he asked me if I ever build 1/25, I said no... but geez, the guy was going to send me the stainless mesh and a resin body! I wonder where he got it. I've been looking for something exactly like that, with no success at all. Send him a PM and ask.
Harry P. Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 I do agree Gregg is a nice guy. You mean Greg. Two G Gregg is fearless leader...
1930fordpickup Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Just when you think we are all trouble, a kind heart shines thru.
blunc Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 there are lots of builders here that "pay it forward"...some of them are even rivet counters.
Greg Myers Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Greg, that's two G's , one in front and one in back.
Danno Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Greg Wann, The MasterCaster, is indeed a class act and a unique human being. He's a very humble and generous individual, besides being a very talented resin caster. If you've never tried one of his resin bodies or conversion kits, you owe yourself the favor of an enjoyable resin-experience!
slusher Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Stories like this puts a smile on my face. I have to say i have been helped by so many and given great advice. There are so many generous modelers here...
sjordan2 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I wonder where he got it. I've been looking for something exactly like that, with no success at all. Try WireForm metal mesh from Amaco. Lots of different sizes and patterns, used for everything from sculpting to model train layouts. http://www.amaco.com/shop/product-368-wireform-metal-mesh.html
Ramfins59 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Harry, I totally agree with you that this Forum is a great place. Once you learn to either just laugh at or ignore the pot stirrers and thin-skinned troublemakers......
Harry P. Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Greg, that's two G's , one in front and one in back. You Gregs crack me up...
Custom Hearse Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 You mean Greg. Two G Gregg is fearless leader... Wouldn't that be 3 G's?
Roadrunner Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Very cool, Harry. My experiences here have been overwhelmingly positive, but yes, there are a few annoying characters too. It's next to impossible to weed out the jerks completely, I'm sad to say.
Harry P. Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 ...but yes, there are a few annoying characters too. It's next to impossible to weed out the jerks completely, I'm sad to say. Yup. Because, like weeds, you pull one out and a new one pops up somewhere else. It's an endless battle.
Roadrunner Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Generally speaking, there is a lot of good banter here, and some really cool, knowledgeable folks, and that's why I check in several times daily.
