In Paul's Chippie topic, mention was made of some great modelling done by dentists. Their professional skills come in great use in modelling - plus they must have some wicked tools and techniques. Greatest scratch modelling skills with aluminium I've every seen were those of the late Young C. Park. This is pure modelling as a art form.

I seriously bow supremely low in honour of these phenomenal skills. Here am I whinging about poor fit and sink marks on the Trumpeter 262 kit - lame Adam, LAME!
