What got you into volunteering to do the airbrush, air blasting things for others?

Probably back when we s- I started with, uh, my buddy Rich Ramirez, he had a bunch of the goat stuff that he needed painted or, you know, a locomotive he needed built or whatever, and I said, "Oh, I can do that," and he kinda looked at me like, "Well, what kind of modeler are you?" And I said, "Well, let me do one thing and we'll see." You know, I did something well enough that he was willing to have me do it rather than taking his time, 'cause poor guy still had to work at the time.

You know, I started doing that, and then other people see, and you have to be careful because you get swamped, right? If, if people find out that you're willing to do stuff, all of a sudden everybody wants you to do things, so you have to kinda be a little selective on what jobs you do.

Uh, just over time I've just done, "Ooh, that's a neat project.

You know, I'll do that project.

I'll build that.

I'll paint that.

Right
