I was thrilled and amazed back then and still am today by his modeling. His working rail barge was my ultimate fantasy. I was a reality-fascinated kid and didn't find delight in the dinosaur and other whimsical touches like I do today. Youth is indeed wasted on the young! (As an aside, I took all the covers off the magazines and hung them on my wall...then I simply gave the two big boxes of them away at some point. Oh, well!) Nice blog, keep up the good work--it's tough to get the word out sometimes.
