Hi Chuck. Been meaning to drop a line in admiration of your superb modelling and artwork. I had seen much of your work through the published pages of NG&SLG, NGD and FSM etc. You've got true talent and a great eye for the smallest things. Do keep it up and looking forward to seeing more of your work in future. Kind regards from 'dowunder'.... Bob Reid.
Thank you, Chuck, for the gift of your art, your photography, and your modeling. Thanks for the many hours and years you spent to attain this level of skill. I'll be back many times for the eye candy. Thank you, too, for making the high res pix available. What a treat!
HI CHUCK THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN DESCRIBE YOUR WONDERFUL WORK. OUTSTANDING ! SPEECHLESS ! I WAS READING ABOUT HOW YOU USE REAL MUD FOR GROUND COVER. I HAD A METHOD I USED THAT WORK REAL WELL. IF INTERESTED CONTACT ME AT hope653@cox. BE GLAD TO TELL YOU WHAT I DID. SAVES MONEY STEVE
You, sir are truely an artist. I thought I was getting more realistic in my model railroad, then someone sent me a sample of your work. unbelievable. Thanks
Chuck, these are GREAT. I am a collector of many old things including tractors, trucks and petrolina. I am currently building a 30's Texaco gas station across the front of my shop and have a reference Stauffer print on my shop referigator, now I have a copy of your model there too. With your permission I will use some of your ideas to complete my project. Doug, in AL
Chuck, Absolutely the finest modeling that I have ever seen. I can only hope to get this close. By the way, how do you achieve the look of grease and grime build up such as depicted in photo's, 30, 37, 39 & 40? I've worked on enough 1:1 scale engines to say that if I wasn't already aware that these were model photo's I was looking at the real thing! Thanks for sharing some of the wood modeling tips. I've tried the "knot-hole" technique in 1/4" scale and it's pretty convincing. Mark
Incredible work. I want to get started building diorama's, scale models etc., could someone please send me some links on getting started or books I can purchase ?
I guess you hear it all the time, rightly so, but your work is the best I've ever seen. I spent ages looking and admiring the work shown in these albums.
I've given links to your albums to various forums on model making, all with the same message - if you want to see the best look at this site !!
I hope you continue to post your work. Thank you for sharing with us.
It's a joy to look at and an inspiration to all us model makers
Chuck, Your work looks like you were raised in the country, and some time ago, with a photographic mind for details of old things. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your superb work and photographic skills. I work in 1/12 scale, better known as "dollhouse scale" and seldom find details like yours even when the large scale easily allows it. We need more men like you in our end of the modeling hobby.
I live in the UK but model US railroads. I really admire your work and it shows what can be done. I model in HO,(BNSF) and G Scale(D&RGW Narrow Gauge) Thank you Mike
Hello Chuck, I have admired your work for quite some time, particularly your techniques for weathering wood and metal. I live in Corona,CA and would really enjoy seeing your work someday.
