Edinburgh Castle Facade - A Generous Gift from Simon (Wraith) (1 Viewer)

[Louis Badolato]

Gentleman,

I wanted to post a great big thank you to Simon (Wraith here on the forum) for an incredibly generous and unexpected gift. A couple of weeks ago I was exchanging PM's with Simon about the two new volumes for the K&C Book (the Modern Wars volume is dedicated to Simon, and I had to keep it a secret at the time) when he asked if I had ever located the Edinburgh Castle Facade, the one early K&C production diorama piece I didn't have. I told him I hadn't but would appreciate if he kept his eyes open.

Today a package arrived from the UK, containing the Edinburgh Castle Facade, as well as the following note:

"Hi Louis,

I was about to throw this Junk out, but thought it may appeal to you.

Happy early birthday!

I'm sure you can put it to better use than me.

All the best mate,

Cheers

Simon"

They just don't come any better than Simon. :smile2: I can't thank you enough Mate!

Can't say I've ever seen the set before (except in brochures, below). Very nice and very gracious of Simon.

 

[ostrein]

I've not seen this before. Very impressive building. Something K&C should do again!?

Very generous from Simon.

A very generous gift indeed! Generosity is probably one of the best qualities a person can have, and one of those rare attributes that leave both people involved happy! Glad for both the generous Simon and Louis`generosity to share this with us all!
