Mike,
Thank you for accepting! I hope you have a great trip! You've officially given me the itch for Britains ACW. To soothe it I've now ordered a few pieces, even though I said I would stick to my naps. Alas, your photos and set ups wore down my defenses. As such I'll be joining the fight now.
Best,
Josh

Hi Mr. 2nd Lieutenant

Hello Mike!
Thanks for the B-day greeting. They day turned out very well. The Chicago dinner Hospitaller came - straight through the customs without any further, so - yes, it went well.

Just was looking at all you incredible albums. Not only that you have a fantastic collection, I'm also very impressed by your dioramas and picture setups. Very inspiring.

Merry Christmas Mike hope you & the family have a great holiday season!

Craig

Thanks Mike for the Birthday greeting. I appreciate it. We had a good time last week at Sagatuck, MI. John

All my Birthday funds went towards the pre-order of the 1st 8 FL Romans. Seemed like forever for the pre-order to get here. Now I just need to sit back and wait till they are shipped.

Hi Mike,
I guess the best way to describe it is slowly but surely. One thing I know for sure is that creating a diorama is a lot harder then it looks. Other then my WWII diorama this would only be my second one I have done to date. I was never really pleased with my WWII diorama and one thing I'm starting to learn about myself is that I'm becoming a perfectionist when it comes to history. I have changed a couple things (materials, etc...) along the way which has set me back a little but hopefully I can get it done fairly soon. I have not ordered the second set yet but it is definitely on my list of to buy items when I go to Chicago this year. Another thing that has hampered me is FL announcing the new "Glory of Rome" line. I had a set amount set aside when I started the ACW diorama but I have sorta held back some funds in anticipation of these Romans.
