        Thanks guys! I must admit it is pretty cool to see something of mine in that magazine. Although I don’t think I would have ever submitted it if it had not been for several people here on the forum kind of talking me into it and I really appreciate that.

        My wife thinks I should build a frame for the magazine cover and the page it is on and hang it on the wall somewhere but I have not decided if I am going to go that far.

        Again thanks for all the encouragement you guys give me in my efforts as you will probably never know how much that means to me and what affect it has on what I make.

        Ken

              I agree with her!......in a heartbeat! Not everyday that a guy gets some well deserved recognition is such a great mag. I'll have to hit the store and grab a copy.

              Congrats!

                      Way to go Ken!!!! I would build something for the Mag cover and the page, and make sure it's somewhere were people can see it!! I would also link it on your web page. Now when it's your 30+ post I can see why you wouldn't want to bother with displaying it!!

                      If you have problems making a display I'm sure someone here can help step you thru the process.

                          Well, I must have been dozing...I saw the plane in the readers gallery of FWW and saw the name and thought, "I bet that's the BT3 KWGeorge". Then I went to his website and saw that it was our lad. Then as I was going to post something I find this thread..All to say very nice work sir!
