I really like this series of features. It lets us see the man behind the bench and also a chance to take a peak at their work.
I knew Kenny really loved his home state, but didn’t know he was such a nut for Higgins boats, now I do. So, thank you for taking the time to tell about your self. Thanks for sharing your builds with us, I really like the Baton Rouge and Strumboote.
And thanks Mark for your time as well!

Hi Kenny,
Good to know a little more about the man behind the mask
An excellent and interesting range of models you have there, and you passion for both history and the hobby comes across in all you do.
Keep em coming and have fun.

Hey Kenny!
It was fun to see some of your models (new to me, of course), as well as reading your Artist Profile!
The boxer dog is a very unusual "Navy Model"
Thanks a bunch for sharing part of your life
Thanks Mark for another (great) interview
Cheers,
Rui

Hi Kenny,
Pleasure to finally "meet" you! As Frank says, you've got it all - figures, ships, display/dio talents, each obe very impressive and enjoyable to view. The gunfire splash, the photo-real u-boat captain with the textured binocs, everything. You say you don't sweat the small stuff, but that's only because you handle it all so well!
Enjoyed feeling your passion and casual happiness - good lessons for all of us. Thanks Kenny and Mark.

Excellent work! You have very diverse interests, and treat all your subject matters very well! It's always great to see the excellent work of fellow modelers!

Thank you all for the kind words.
Maggie, the playful boxer, is my favorite. Patterned after a boxer mix I owned at the time, I wanted to show their mischievous side, which is very abundant. Whenever I look at that model, I always see the "What, what did I do?" look.
