No need to drop your figures Jerry...!

Loaders are significant absence in the ZM line up so I'm sure many would rather have them than some of the more 'esoteric' poses that ZM are doing - don't you think?

You're 99% of the way there and look to be filling a niche that many are going to want to add to their P-51s.

You may be right. I will have to think about this when I am not in ill health and not having eye problems. Things will probably seem not so hopeless then?
Now I have to figure out how to pay for a new tranny/clutch in my car. Man oh man,

VERY true Jerry, would be a REAL shame to drop them now............

I buy a set of your figs LONG before Id ever buy a set of ZM figs..................hell based on shipping even not to mention the fact they have no ammo loaders like you have either!

[JRutman]

oh man

now I feel like I'm the one who torpedoed your figure idea

No worries. I have had the view in the last few years that if it was already being produced and being produced better than I could,then I wouldn't waste my time. ZM has very nice stuff so? Why compete. Although I would like to see if they are 1/32 scale or in fact,1/35 scale. But then again,people come in all sizes,don't they?

The item is called A&B Epoxy putty and has a pretty long working time which can be extended if you wet it a little, M&Models in Chicago sells it,tell them I sent you!

Thanks for the info – Never made it to Chicago yet but it is on my list of places to visit. I have found a supply a little bit closer to home for know.

Jerry don’t give up on these and your other projects, I find them very inspirational and such an education – keep it going mate.

Thanks for the kindness Taffy,glad you could get some epoxy putty. I will keep an open mind about this project and like I stated perviously,will maybe give it a go when my health and eyes improve.

Man Jerry...............you are SO great at this stuff. As Taff said, dont give up on this stuff when your health improves...............it IS very inspirational.....especially considering how poor I am at figures and how naturally it seems to come to you.

Ever do any figures on commission?

That hit the spot buddy! I never heard of Kate but Gabriel has been a fav of mine since the first Genisis album. I saw their show several times and even though I saw many many rock shows,theirs has remained in my top 5. More like rock theatre back decades before Gaga,etc.
This song is perfect,thank you so much this has helped me more than you can imagine. You are a good man Derek Bradshaw

Keep them coming!

Jerry, you are a BEAST! It is my hope that you get well soon and, you get your tranny up and running without a hitch. Although you feel as tho ZM's figures may be better than what you've done, yours can only be less expensive than theirs. Which, I think, is something to think about.

Sincerely,
Mark
