Okay, Let me correct this.  Your stuff is to be acknowledged as a strong
addition to war games resources.  Even though I seldom buy 25 mm figures
anymore I want to let you know that I am amazed at the paper buildings
you provide (for free even!) for war gamers.  I have downloaded most of
your 1/300th buildings	paper models.  The combination of not wanting to
print them with the old Citizen 120D printer I have at home, my never
having used paper terrain before - concerns about how to 'do' the models
adequately, and my general lack of time for hobby stuff the last few
years has kept me from using your excellent products.

My 35 mm camera hasn't produced any pictures worth showing anyone of any
of the game I have taken pictures of - operator error obviously.  8^(

Consider this slightly corrected.

That should also be acknowledged as a very kind service you return to
the
hobby.

Even though I'm predominantly a 6 mm guy I know I'll be tempted to tie
up
more storage with your 25 mm downloads (grin) because they are so much
better than anything I can produce.
