Jeff Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 So, for the last little while I have been reading posts where some of you guys are in need of a bit or part... JohnB. needing the gun pod, Huber to the rescue, Ernie always being on the give, meaning he is the ultimate in generous, with kits and parts, to which I have been on the receiving end from him too, as some of you also... the other day Martin sent Carl a Special Hobby Tempest kit, and it just goes on and on, and for me it happened again, I am seriously watching Ron G's build of his fabulous trucks, and with one of them that he converted from Gravel truck to low bed heavy hauler, so with that, I asked Ron about the gravel box, well willing to pay a reasonable price for it should I be fortunate enough to have him consider selling , to which the immediate response to my query was.... " It's yours, just pay the post"................. Holy Cow.... now as we all know, Ron could have asked for any amount of money or trade, but nope, just pay the post.... suffice to say it is on it's way for a planned build here in Canada......thanks Ron !!!............ I just want to acknowledge the generosity here ,as a matter of course.... you guys never fail to amaze me with the giving, and like I have said before, in this turbulent time we seem to find ourselves in, this is a real positive step in human nature, despite what the news says, it isn't all doom and gloom, there ARE good people out there, and I am pleased to be associated with some of the best..... you guys rock ! 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 As well as Carl gifting me with a very nice Fisher wing for my Hobby Crap Sea Fury. Also had a Fisher Sea Fury prop donated from a modeler on LSP. Modelers as a whole are a great group of folks. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet this goes on more than we actually know. And yes , model guys are a good group and all seem to want everyone succeed. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Back to the OP, Jeff you have been very generous yourself. My boys still appreciate the getting that big box of models from you a few years ago. It was like an instant stash for them. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then, with that said I guess it kind of puts things into perspective . I just thought they may like to build try painting and play with them. It was my pleasure to send them to the boys . And I am glad they were pleased to have their own kits to work with. Might have saved one pr two of dad’s kits. 🤭🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I use to burn them. Once I set on fire 1/72 scale Aero C3A on the stairway of our apartment building. Epic black smoke was everywhere. Good times indeed 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Ah yes. Lighter fluid, matches, fire crackers and BB guns. Many old models met their demise at the hands of a maniacal child. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Sadly I did that to a Frog B25. Wish I had that kit back. I remember it to be a good model , got a lot of flight hours in that old girl till some sharp shooter set her alight. All crew survived the impending crash I’m happy to say. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Well the generosity thing touched me today….. The other day I made a purchase of the Eduard resin Merlins for my Mosquito. I casually mentioned that to our Martin and the conversation went on a bit and at the end of that conversation there is a package heading my way for my Mosquito in the form of two packs of stencils and two Reedoak figures !!! I still marvel at the huge generosity within this community. MANY Thanks Martin. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Generosity strikes again….. I made a post on LSP about tossing projects in the bin where I have a 1/72 Concorde kit that is missing the windshield off the clear sprue. Heller won’t come through with a replacement after I’ve contacted them twice. I got a PM from a member that he has that extra sprue and is sending it to me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
