This is HUUUUUGE! Mike has done some amazing stuff, and he's sharing it! I'm surprised this thread isn't "red hot" - but it is early.
Mike, if you're listening, this is amazing and wonderful, thank you! THANK YOU!

Very nice news.
But it must be because I haven't had my morning coffee yet, but I can't find the link!

This is fantastic for the ship modeling community. I have worn out the pages of my two ship modeling books by Mike.
When someone asks me, where did I learn about scratch building, I tell them Mike Ashley's two books on ship modeling.
Thanks, Mike for helping me to get started in scratch building ships!!

Another voice in the chorus. Mr. Ashey's books are must-haves for all ship modelers (or any modelers)!
