Just spent alittle time scanning some old posts and realized how many talented people are here, thanks to all you guys that really are the customizers of this hobby.

Pickelhaub, somehow he manages to keep both the armor and plane guys happy and I'm sure hes not a millionaire yet, custom 1:18 would be dead without him.

Flyboy, the next Pickel :?:, who knows :wink:

1958zelda
Jnewboy
Panzerarm
TKO211
Smittyrob64
plasticboy
grunt1
thehun

And a lot more than I can list, thanks for posting and sharing and to anyone I may have missed, please don't be humble, add your name to this list, these guys and many more are what make this forum my favorite :D

Thanks Ram! Although far from it, I'm trying my best. One day, maybe I'll be as great of a builder as PH. Until then, practice, practice, practice!!!

You're correct we have so much talent on the board!

PH is almost like the "god" of 1/18. :lol: Just joking around of course.

We are very lucky to have PH, if I was as skilled as he is with mold making and building Im sorry to say but I would be the guy that would just build for myself and shoot pics once in awhile of me holding my latest build like a 1/18 Arado 196 and my big smile :D

Most people with his talents do act like a god and try to hold it over others heads either with no availability or extremely insane high prices :(

I am very thankful for PH, not to mention Flyboys awesome buildings!! 8) 8)

i think if a toy company is looking for toy makers to mass produce 1/18 items
(and i hope they do),this is the place to look for talented craft man.

Added grunt1 and thehun to my list, totally my bad for omitting them, as I said I realize I'm missing several great customizers, please if anyone wants to add feel free.

Agree with all the above, and have to add Zach to the list for his incredible painting skills, and, like PH, Flyboy & Jnewboy, all around "good guys"!

Thanks guys. If Pickel would stop releasing kits for me to build, I'd have more time to create new ones! That and checking this place three times a day to see the amazing finished projects from the other guys. Whew! Thank goodness that Weylen and Flyboy send me their work finished and painted sometimes or I'd be totally out of commission. :-)
