Walter (wkma7six) Says 'Hi!'

I talked to Walter on the phone yesterday; he wants everyone to know he's still alive and well. He's busy with a new job, and his computer died, so that's why he hasn't posted much. He must have access from somewhere, just limited...

He said he's been too busy to work on his models much, either...

He said he's working at a place that makes models/prototypes/plans for toys and movie props! :eek: What a cool job!! :coolguy:

Good to hear his doing well. I got his entry and a PM saying he wouldn't be around for awhile due to work....hope he gets back soon.

Im sure you wished him a happy xmas from us all here :)

I was wondering how he was:) That's great to hear he is doing well, sounds like a cool job! Pass on my reagrds if you speak to him again soon...if he doesn't read this!;)

Glad to see somebody's finding work in today's market...and on something he loves doing, no less! Give him my congratulations :)

I'm glad he's found a job in a field we all like!!!:D :D :D

looks like someone is gonna have some real fun:frog: hope his job works out good:smoker2:

Hello to everyone who remembers who I am. I've been gone for a long time, but have returned. I just purchased a new computer and I'm loving every bit of this machine-my old one (5 years old) recently stopped working. I've also purchased a 2000 Chevrolet S10 Xtreme truck. I've got many new toys for the new year.
BTW, I'm very happy with my new job and thank you guys for your concern/ kindness in my absence. I went through AF withdrawal for about 1 and half months since working. I still have many kits waiting to be built and have added more to the growing collection.:( Lets hope I can work a schedule to get some things done.
Hope everyone got some kits/supplies they all wanted for the holidays. My ex-GF bought me a 1/16 scale Fujimi Koenig Lamborghini Countach for X-mas. Gotta love her for supporting my madness.

Out of all these great happenings recently, one bad thing did happen when my computer died. I lost all the hard drive data from my progress pictures and all the reference i've dug up for the past 3 years related to this hobby.:(:mad: I tried to retrieve the data by installing my old HD to my new computer and it said all data was corrupted. One lesson learned is that you need to back up all data saved on your computer!:mad: Oh well!

Welcome back, sounds like you've had fun. When you said you got a 200 Chevy S10 XTreme, did you mean a real one? 1/16 Countach huh? Sounds good when will you start on it? Tough luck how your old HD stuffed up and you lost all your pics etc, oh well its always good to start fresh :D

First Thug_9_6, now you! These are the beginning of some good times here at AF!:D

Hi Walter! :wave: Good to hear you're back online again! :D

Hey! Glad to see everything is going good! Hope to see more of your work here, and now I have to back up all my stuff.....

That has GOT to hurt. Think I'll go home and make sure my backup CD-R of my reference material is still ok and maybe make a second copy ;-)>

Glad to hear about all the rest!

Yes, it is a real 1:1 year 2000 model Chevy Xtreme s-10 extra cab with 38,000 miles on it. I've always loved this truck and have two plastic models waiting to be made just like my new full size. I found a Lindberg 1/20 scale S-10 Xtreme about 3 years ago. Never built it though.
Don't know about the Countach yet, but it is # 400 of the to do list:D

Glad you can see gathering new data all over again is Positive thing. It hasn't hit me too hard yet, but when I need reference pics and proof of my past progress- I WON'T HAVE THEM! :(
Oh well:) -Walter

welcome back Walter. sorry to hear about the computer :(. they can be truly frustrating machines at times (my last computer before this one was a 120Mhz, it was slower then a dead cow!). but they also bring us AF, so we can't be TOO mad at them :D :D :D . anyways, the truck sounds nice and i can't wait to see some more astonishing projects from you in the near future.
