I've met many of the IPMS Stockholmers several times and if they are impressed with somebody's work then that means alot!!!
Way to go Mr Roo!!! You have just caught the attention of a large audience!!! Can I be your tour manager over here in the Nordic Countries?

I have only just been shown this myself and believe you me I am a bit humbled by it. I have emailed a thank you note to Martin the person that put the news article up as well telling him of other articles I have coming up on armorama as well so maybe some new members for both armorama and Truck'orama are in line.
Thanks for your comments guys

Nice going Cliff, you'll be learning to spell 'beer' instead of using XXXX soon ! LOL
Well earned recognition, when do we see kits on the market and perhaps a book?

Roo has been "infamous" ever since he was tossed out of New Zealand and landed in Aussie Land :-) :-)
Seriously, it could not happen to a nicer, (or more talented) guy.

I will ignore this bit and ask all and sundry to ignore it as well.

Sorry Cliff about being a late arriver, but I just now noticed this section, But I'm sure glad to see you get the recognition you deserve, this is great.
I guess I need to pay more attention to the set up from now on, it just used to be all the things I never perticipated in before, that was down here, but when I glanced down and seen trucks, that got my attention.
Then I seen your name, then I knew I had to see what was going on, and I'm glad I did.
Hope you many more successes
Kerry
