This place is great you will be seeing me around the 1/18 mostly. i just wish i Knew about this place earlier.
I am kind of new to the 1/18 scale I got restarted with the 25th GI Joe Line about a two years ago. I just discovered about a year ago the beauties of BBI and 21st so more or less i am noob to it all and playing catch up but i love it!
I already have 2 Pave hawks, 2 apaches, 5 little Birds, 1 SuperCobra (looking For another), 3 abrams, 2 SuperHumvees, 1 Kiowa and a bunch of GI JOE 25th like 4 rattlers, 7 HISS TANKS, 2 Conquest, 5 trouble bubbles 200+ troops and some other stuff and have become friends of MJ from Marauders INC.

After seeing some of you guys collections I’m almost embarrassed to show anything of mine, 90% of my stuff is stilled boxed, but I will take you on a quick tour of my shop where I work
My Shop
Just inside front door
Computer work station
Detail and finishing station
Molding, casting, and scratch building table
Small work station where i build small items to cast, and take models apart
assembly line (1)
figure rack
Another View
Bone yard corner
Misc items on small shelf
4 foot shelves, for every boxed aircraft you see, there is 3 more behind it
Boxed 1/6 scale items
favorite work station---My Custom harley i'm building a little at a time---
View out of shop from finishing work table, X markes the spot, Christmas morning i dropped a 4 point (Small Buck) on that far ridge from my front door proped on a stool using a 1916 8mm German mauser "open sights" a little over 200 yards, He dropped like a sack of feed, It's not that i'm a great shot, I was using a great shooting Weapon, But when i fired i was about 3 feet inside my shop, The boom was so loud it knocked some things off my shelves, and it felt like i busted both ear drums,They rang all day, I guess i got caught up in the moment, LoL, My wife was pissed all day and raised Hell at me but it did not matter, because i could not hear her anyway, by the time my hearing came back she had cooled off, But anyway put this on your list of things to never do, so anyway this is my shop where i build all my customs.

"The Legend !!!" He sure was.... I found a few more pictures of thehuns / The WooferCustoms.....
I wish Everett was still doing custom work.
The last time I talked with him (2011), it was about the Sturmgeschütz IV he had made.
I wanted to order a few kits...and then his worked stopped.

Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections
Definitely sorry to hear all that bad news. I used to love getting to talk with Everett and buying stuff from him, just a great gentleman. Please send my regards when you get a chance to talk to him again.

No offence, but I think that it is not proper to publicly channel gossip regarding personal problems, hard times or family affairs that a forum member might face, especially if these info were confidentially confessed into a closed friendly circle only and supposed to stay within four walls.
Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections
We all know the Hun and wish him well that isn't gossip that those events have happened to him it's the truth the Hun is a talented gentleman and a wellNick_Karatzides wrote:No offence, but I think that it is not proper to publicly channel gossip regarding personal problems, hard times or family affairs that a forum member might face, especially if these info were confidentially confessed into a closed friendly circle only and supposed to stay within four walls.

Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections
OK, my mistake. I just didn't feel nice to read about other people's family misfortune been revealed & publicly discussed. I do not understand, why embarrassing info such as "his wife left him" and "his daughter got preggers" should be public and how this intel could promote the quality of our hobby. I say again, no offense but I am not used to see friend-to-friend confidential discussions leaking.

Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections
Sometimes it's not about the 'quality of our hobby', it's about the relationships formed among those who share interests, backgrounds, and a place to find people who might understand when others don't. There have been many times members have posted about good or bad in their lives, not as 'gossip' but just passing on information, as anyone would do among friends.Nick_Karatzides wrote:OK, my mistake.

Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections
Talk about getting off of subject !!
I have known the Hun for over 10 years .
We have worked on several projects in the past . I would spend weekends at his house ( he is about a 5 hour drive north of me ) .
Our kids would play together our wives would hang out , both of them are nurses . And of course we would work on our projects .
I got to know his dad well along with his wife and kids . They came down her a few times as well .
We became great friends .
It has saddend me the things that has happened to him these past years because I know all of his family
By no means was I spreading gossip . A bunch of people have missed him and wonder why he got out of the hobby . These are the sad reasons .
And by stating them people will understand.

Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections

I asked the question where were a couple of older Members were and you were gracious enough to let us know and a newer Member comes in lock stock and two smoking barrels . We are all Mates here and a big Friendly Family,lets keep it that way. Thanks for the up-date on Hun.
