Thank you Kenny. Truth be know, I found SMM using a referral from your Old Time Model Airplane Magazine site.

Well done Ray, Garet ,Lou and everyone who contributes to the site, I found my way here from a Google search for the Hawk, which brough up a picture of Lou's Airtoon Hawk, and then a Loutorial on how to make one. Regards Paul J.

Thank you everyone. I have always wanted to document the accidental situation that brought SMM about. But it really doesn't matter. Truly, I didn't set out to make such a fuss, I just wanted to build a model ship or two. Then all the help came rushing in, the plans were arriving in dozens of peaces in manila envelopes. It was overwhelming, until I asked for help to put it all together. What matters is all of you. So many names, so many letters of thanks, so many Solid Model Memories. New and old memories, weaving their way subtly throughout our lives. Distracting us from the real world, as well as taking us to far away places and times. I tell people in my life of all of the friends that I have all around the world. Though I've only met one of you. I have always wished I could win the lottery and afford to visit everyone. To sit in your shop and chat over coffee or tea, to smell the wood and the paint. To hear your voices, my friends, It was all of YOU who built this Solid Model Memories, I had the privilege to watch, and that means ever so much to me. Thank you, my friends, thank you...
Let the chips fly, Gentlemen

P.S. Someone once asked me where I got the idea for the name. I haven't a clue, perhaps it has always been here.
