Congratulations, Dan!  That's a fabulous collection you have there, many of which I had the great pleasure watching you build.  You and Hilde remind me of Carol and me.  We have our work benches sitting sided by side in our hobby room.  She does her puzzles and I do...well, you know what I do.
Cheers,
Bud

Congratulations on joining the ranks of the M.o M's Dan. I wondered where your Callsign came from, now I know. Your father must have been quite a man and more; everyone should have had a Dad like that! Nice collection you've got there, some very unique stuff!
Cheers, :)

 It's always nice to put a face to a name. You're a lucky man to have your wife beside you while you work!

Dan,
Congrats on being the Featured Modeler! Your collection is excellent! I have watched your build logs on at least a couple of them and have been impressed with what you achieve each time!

Dan,

Congratulations on your well deserved recognition.  I like your nickname.  My grand dad flew B-24s with the 44th BG (the rivals to the 93rd as the first B-24 group in the Mighty Eighth) as a top turret gunner/flight engineer and my mother's neighbor in Spanish Fork, UT was Col Walter Stewart (led the 93rd BG over the Columbia Aquila Romana refinery at Ploesti after Col. Addison E. Baker's plane was shot down).  Did your dad fly that raid with the 93rd or did he arrive later on in WWII?  FYSA, BYU put together a pretty good documentary on the 93rd's part in that raid called "A Wing and a Prayer".  You might want to look into it.  Anyway, congrats again and looking forward to seeing more of your work.  Cheers!
The stupid shall be punished.
