Bob Penikas -----Original Message----- From: Erik te Groen <[email protected]> To: papermodels <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Mar 4, 2017 7:22 am Subject: [Papermodels II 49767] It's time for a BIG compliment !! Dear group, For quite a long time, I have posted very few messages. Paper modeling in general no longer playes a big role in my life, like it did some ten or twelve years ago. But after receiving another great email from people like Bob Penikas, along with some stunning pictures, I just felt the need to put him in the foreground and give him praise for all the hard work. For many, many years, Bob has been the most consistent modeler to upload pictures of his work, for our eyes to feast on. Actually, his regular upload of his work is a constant reminder for me to stay active in the paper model world. People still build paper models and since paper modeling became much more easily accessible thanks to internet, the quality of the drawings have improved, as well. With a growing number of clients the need for more and better models grew. I think the internet has been a useful addition to the world of paper modeling. Where paper models were rarely available for free, before internet, the digital version of our hobby has made a huge variety of many free models availabe to anyone with an internet connection and a printer. One of those people who uses that privilege to the max is Bob. There are MANY paper modelers out there, some of them are truly fanatic. But to me, Bob simply stands out. He builds a large variety of models. Anything that flies, sails, runs, moves, drives and what else..... He builds it all. AND...... he shares his work with us on a regular basis. And if I remember correctly, he sometimes gives his models away. Beautiful gesture. Beautiful models, too. He really builds them with care and attention and it shows. Bob Penikas is not the only one I wish to thank. There are many others out there who make this great forum possible and are trying hard to keep it up and running and healthy. Big thanks to you all. Please join me, raise your glass and say cheers to Bob !! He deserves it !! Regards, Erik. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
