I have enjoyed your talent and contributions to our great hobby so far. Please continue to expose your art & model projects for all of us to enjoy. I also think you should write a book or manual for the masses. It will fly off the shelves... you & I know it.

Mike, I enjoyed reading your brief biography. It appears that Mother Nature "mellows" man's creations over time with tapestries of rust and dust. The secret is in the intense observation of her art....personalizing her brush strokes with yours. I am sure She is very proud.

Hey Mike, You're certainly in a class of your own. (head & shoulders comparatively, above anyone out there in this unique field of art!) Your work is SOLID! to say the least and is quite inspirational to many who share in the passion of re-creating prototypical models of contemporary rolling stock from various railroad systems. I've been a devout Espee fan since the early 1980's and I must express my appreciation for your fine works depicting this road's freight cars and it's subsidiaries! I visit your web site daily in earnest of viewing any lastest creation from your HIGHLY talented hands. Would love to share photos of my work, should you be interested in seeing them... feel free to e-mail me! Keep rockin' MM!!!!

Hey, your model work exceeds any other work that will be produced for years to come. I think a Southern Pacific speed lettered autorack would be a nice rust bucket project. look forward to furture models.

Mike, you have blown my mind. I have been studying the railroad model for 20 years and have never seen anything like your work. The fact that all your photos show that we live in the same town is fantastic. I am so proud that such a talent is from the Inland Empire. Your work is so beautiful, any chance of seeing it in person?!?
Thank you so much for your contribution to our hobby.
