I have been building card models (off and on) for many years now (I know that I still have alot to learn though). For the longest time I thought that I was the only one that did this kind of model building. I would talk to my friends about it, and their general response was "OH, that's nice, but why would you and to build models out of cards?" I would (of course) explain what card modeling is, and they would respond with "OH, that is nice." Fore the longest time, I did not know anyone that was at all (even remotely) interested in this hobby.
It was not until I stumbled on this site (while doing research on the Thunder Fighter) that I realized just how many people do in fact build models out of card stock.
I can not even begin to thank all of the people (to include you Zathros) that have made me feel so welcome and have helped me grow in and enjoy this hobby so very much. I have learned more in the sort few years that I have been a member of this site, then I learned on my own trying to teach myself just how to take something I like and turn it into a model that I can truly enjoy.
In closing, really all that I can say to you (and everyone here), THANK YOU EVERY MUCH for all of the hard work in maintaining such a wonderful forum. I (fore one) greatly appreciate all that you and Ekuth have done with this forum. I am greatly honored to be a member of such a wonderful forum.
Thank you
