Brother Pouch is a rather "feisty" fellow, so I respectfully recommend a recount of the votes to make sure he hasn't pulled any shenigans regarding this award This Aussie dude is something else, (just ask his other half)!!! hehehe
Seriously Cliff, many CONGRATS on your UOM. You are probably one of the finest softskin scratch builders out there.
For those who aren't aware, Cliff has been published at least twice in Military Model Craft, and has cracked out some of the finest resin softskin after market items out there. A true talent, and a well deserved winner.
Oh, by the way:
A-wesome detailer
U-niversally recognized as an Aussie Bum
S-ensational resin producer
S-ultan of Softskins
I-nternationally published
E-verything a modeler should be.
U-nder (as in - "Down")
O-ut standing scratch builder
M-y friend

I've said this before but looking at Cliff's work to me is like looking at one of the great master's painting .I can look at a box of oil paints and know that a Rembrandt, Van Gogh, or Picasso can create a masterpiece with them. I can see what kits Cliff uses for some of the basic work, but then he takes it that extra step into the master class.
Congratulations Cliff. Well earned.
