Have anybody sent him a congratulations by PM?

Maybe Herkel should propose a Group Built for this celebration? ;)

How about we see how long it take us (collectively) to post pictures of 1,000 newly completed models?
Jeff

Time spent modeling is not deducted from your lifespan.

I spent most of my money on beer and women. The rest of it I just wasted.

OK, I got two on the go, need to have them (or at least one done) in 10 days! Our club's Sept meeting contest.

Crazy us? No the rest of the world is crazy, we are the sane ones!?!? :blink:

I am member 72. I started building 1/72 kits in 1965 with the Airfix B-29. Back then 1/48th was a box scale. There were maybe 100 72nd Microscale decals before any clumsy scale sheets. Been true to the scale ever since and have a fine and far ranging stash in God's chosen scale.

I have a Revell 1/72 B-17 I started in 1967 before going on active duty with the Navy (relax, it was on an aircraft carrier) and it is still not finished. That means that next year I will have been working on it for 50 years! Beat that!! I have been a IPMS member from 1969. 1788. There for all those who consider themselves 1/72 modelers, you must all bow down before me and be in awe of my longevity in not necessary my modeling skills.

Jim, I applaud you.
I am but a mere amateur having never started a kit aboard an aircraft carrier and my oldest started kit began construction about a quarter of the years of the life of your hangar queen!

In fact I was just embarking on my first ever foray into the joys of smearing tube cement all over the plastic, whether it be clear, grey, blue or yellow of the Airfix kits back in 67.

Hats off!

The 1000th member is Herkel

There are rumours going viral on Twitter and Facebook that Herkel is actually Robert's cat.
Robert's cat has vigorously denied the claim, and is deeply upset at being compared to a sock puppet.

His lawyers are considering legal action against what they call a, "ham fisted smear campaign".

Jim Johnson, I recognize your awesomeness, and the fact you make me feel like a speed builder with that Revell B-17.

Sorry to confuse you with someone else, Jim. Must be because of my jealousy of your truly awesome membership number.

Life is too short for poor kits.
