Hey guys–I told ya’s I’d keep you updated, so here it is: today in the mail came a letter from Finescale Modeler that they have decided to purchase the Hetzer article for future publication! PAY DAY!!! [:P]
It came as a nice surprise! So I guess we can look forward to seeing it in print in the future at some point!
A huge “THANKS” goes out to Matt Usher and Aaron Skinner if they’re reading this for their input on the decision!
WAHOOOO! I’m going up Jenn’s house to crack a bottle of winw and celebrate! [#toast]
[party] I’m lookin’ forward to it! It seems I heard somewhere you have an article coming up in the January issue; is that this one? Or do i have the wrong person?
No one deserves it more. I will look forward to seeing it.
So…did you pick out a frame yet??[:-^] With all those trips to Michaels for oils you need to catch a 50% off frame sale so when you copy comes you can frame it![8D]
Thanks for the update and take care in the “farterland” [:-,]
Congratulations Doog, couldn’t happen to a more deserving builder! You put your all into these builds and try your hardest to help everyone interested get better at building these models.
Yup, that’ll be the first article that I’ve had the honor of seeing published! It’s going to be on the blown-up Pz IV that I built last year and put in a diorama called “SPOOKED!”
Thanks for the [tup][tup] guys! I mean it sincerely when I say that al of your input and opinions are what helped push me to that “next level” with my builds and finishes!
It’ll probably take a good 6-8 months I would think before you see it–there’s a pretty good lag time over at FSM, but hey, ya never know! If I hear anything, I’ll post it! [:D]
Now you’re a “pro-builder”. You need a real pro-builder name like- “Doog Instructor”? Howabout “The Doog Whisperer”? “Duk”?[:D]
Seriously though, congrats man! That’s fantastic news. That dio is truly worthy. Be proud[8D] pass put cigars[party] embibe[#toast][zzz] but then get BACK TO WORK! You’ve got 5 kids to feed and a bus route to… wait, now I’m confused… who’s Art Maniac??
