Wow, great deal. Anytime you get to see Bob's collection is great. Great to see he's still modeling.

Rudi,

Thanks for that link - Bob Letterman is (arguably) the greatest diorama builder of all time. I have the "Superdioramas" book that I dig out from time to time to gaze in awe at.

Interesting to read his history too. Although he doesn't say so outright, it would appear (from reading between the lines) that he and Verlinden had a bust-up at some point in the late '90s. Which is a real pity, because they made a formidable team.

It was quite a nasty divorce actually. And very public.
