Ok, this will run long...but...what the hell...
I will take MaulFan's lead here, and list a few SSF things I am thankful for...
To Dark Artist Josh, for being a great buddy in this place, and in person, sharing methods and secrets and generally creating art together...and for hanging with me. Thanks bro!
To WorGar for being a cool dude and for being such an Aliens spearhead, and
other things...and for his boundless enthusiasm.
To Pjam, whom I almost met in L.A. but will next trip out! Who has done so much for so many here.
For Maulfan for his exquisite skills with a camera, and for giving me hope for some projects I have in mind...and help when I needed it.
To Gruff Old Bear, you old dog you! For being the class act of the place!
To all my Kurgan brethren for being so damn cool!
and obnoxious!
and for being the nuts they are! The not so silent glue behind the scenes that keeps this place a LOT more entertaining that it would otherwise be...
And that includes DekDave too! For his total abandon to this hobby...
And of course, the great worm, Shai Hulud, who started it all!
To
Anyone who has asked me to repaint a head or arms or whatever for them, that I either have already shipped out to, or will soon, and are all so patient with me that sometimes I go to bed guilty that I didn't finish things for them...but knowing that they will understand when they get their stuff at long last! I hope!
To Mr Fusion and his brother, for amazing testicular fortitude where customs are concerned...
So many to be thankful for here...

And some of you others I have yet to paint for.

I don't wanna leave anyone out, but I have to 'cause this post is way overlong anyway. Just know I appreciate knowing all you guys!
YOU ALL RULE!
And, I want to say a special thanks myself to Darklord Dave, for helping me so much here when I couldn't log in, and for creating the place.
And last, but not least, a member whom I still hold in the highest of regards, and must mention, Customikey, who practically dragged me here back in the day, the first real customizer here, and the guy I miss most. Hope you are doing well friend.
To all of you, THANK YOU! You guys all are amazing! You girls too! I haven't forgotten
any of you either! I hope I meet you Dusty! At SDCC!
Anyway, to all a goodnight indeed! Sweet dreams gang! And may visions of plastic, polystone and the medium of your choice, go rampaging through your heads this evening! And
EAT LIKE STARVED DOGS TOMORROW!!! The lot of you! Even you non-Yanks! Especially you!
You too Creech! You smelly old dog you!
Your friend,
Les
