...You have a (nice) homepage there. Congratulations! I really enjoyed the
pictures of the mortar models. A lot of years ago I did military
modeling too. Just 1:87 scale...

--DG, 19-Aug-10

...I love your models and would love to have one of the M106 models you have made. I did build a Tamiya M106 model years ago. I had plans to do a ground mounted pit that would have modeled the pits we used in Nam.
Thanks for all the work you do...

--MD, 13-Aug-10

...you were a pioneer of modeling web sites and still have a super product even today.

I just realized who you are because of your web site. Nice job!

--MB, 07-Apr-10

Came upon your website and found it most interesting, especially to an old mortarman.  So, thought I’d pass along some info and photos, from my tour as a Mortar Section Commander in Vietnam...

--MM, 17-Mar-10

...passed along your web site info which I found fascinating. Your work and talent are to be congratulated... Thanks for the space and for remembering the indirect fire guys; the guys who are always hanging a round (I really like that phrase).

--TL, 16-Mar-10

Howdy. I found your site very interesting as I am an old Mortarman myself. I was a 0341 Mortarman in the Marine Corps with the old M29A1, then the M252 when it came out. I was also a C Mortarman in the National Guard on the M30 4.2 inch, "4 Deuce".
Seeing your models has inspired me to build some of my own, which brings me to why I am writing... Again, you have a great site!

--MD, 27-Feb-10

Kevin - LOL... yeah but your mag appearance sparked you into the dot com era... now look at you today, you are CEO of the best website in the world... (for modeling)  :-)

--PM, 17-Feb-10

...I love it, great job... I really like the webpage. Thanks for doing it.

--PL, 06-Feb-10

...I first came upon your web site this past year as I was looking for information on 4.2 mortars. I was amazed at the attention to detail that you put into your miniatures and the information you provided about the guns. 

--MB, 13-Jan-10

I found your nice web-page while I was searching for...

--PM, 20-Dec-09

...I've got to say that your mortar collection is fantastic. I've looked at your stuff quite a bit over on (...). Keep up the great work.

--CH, 02-Jun-08
...I’d be honoured to have them displayed on your website!

--CL, 01-May-08
You did a great job with that M21, I can't even imagine Dragon coming out with a 3 in one super duper combo kit that would look any better. I've got your site bookmarked for inspiration.

"I read Carl's letter about Joe Escandon. I am Joe Escandon Jr.'s wife. I remember the day Carl called my husband to tell him about his dad's last days. We now have a 15 yr old son (also named Joe) and an 11 yr old daughter who are very proud of their grandfather. I would like to say a big "Thank You" to Carl for getting in touch with my husband, I know it meant a lot to him."

I was serving in Lebanon in 1980 as a member of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNFIL). We, the Dutch, were the heaviest armed troops there for the UN..."

--BB, 02-Dec-05
"...Great photographs, nice setting for the finished vehicle, even that clunky old figure looks good. Very nice job of turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. That particular Minitank mold has got to be at least thirty-five years old..."

--DA, 29-Nov-05
"... I was sad to see you don't offer your models for sale - your work is excellent and it is exceedingly difficult to find the M-252 in any shape or form for display purposes.  I would think a man of your skill could make some decent money on the side doing commissioned pieces for individuals.  I can't think of anything I'd rather have on my desk!"

--BR, 23-Nov-05
"Kevin – Impressive website! I’ve used the pictures to show sizes of mortars to folks here in Air Mobility Command who aren’t familiar with mortars (something of interest given our presence and flying in support of Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom)...Thanks!!!!!"

"Sarge, Thanks for the website... I ran across your site while doing research for my job. Thanks for creating this site. I am a project engineer at the............ I test mortars (among other things). Prior to obtaining an engineering degree, I was a mortarman in the Marine Corps... This is a great site. Most of the engineers I work with have never served in the military, and don't have a feel for what the life of a mortar maggot is like. I am passing the URL around for their edification...

--SG, 03-Mar-05
"Great site!! I was in a mortar platoon in the Ohio National Guard between 1970 and 1992. Started out as a gunner, moved into a F.O. position and finally was F.D.C. running the whiz wheel and calling fire to the guns....You have a really great site and all miniatures reflect much hard work and dedication.... Keep up the good work."

--JS, 21-Oct-04
"I enjoyed your Web Site. The four deuce mortar did put out an extraordinary amount of firepower. I was in 'Nam during 68-69. We used the mortars previously that were mounted on the 75 mm trailer. During that summer, we converted to the 4.2 with the base plate....Thank you...."

--AB, 19-Feb-04
"....My hour of going through your sight the other night underlined that your forte is the petiteness of your creation and the way you can bring life to the subject with setting and figures.  Otherwise, the subject is frankly kinda boring: by themselves mortars all look pretty much the same and in scale are all about the same size.  I am also amazed at the detail you lavish on things at the level you work...."

I hope you don't mind.... I loved the collection of TM's and FM's also....You have done an awesome job of depicting the models pretty much as I remember them and I thank you for taking me down memory lane.... I'm feeling inspired to start my own collection of the U.S. mortars. On behalf of all "Mortar Maggots", I thank you for capturing our tools of the trade the way you have. High Angle Hell!

Kevin: Your site just keeps getting better and better!

Call for Fire: Howbout some of the former Soviet bad boys..if that doesn't cramp your geo-political style? "

--CL, 24-Oct-03
"I looked at your 81mm today, it's amazing how you have captured the thing just the way I remember it.  I take my hat off to you for your, I would assume, extremely difficult work.  You must have the patience's of a surgeon doing all of that very small and I'm sure time consuming detail.  You are a true craftsman."

--JH, 03-Jan-03
"What an excellent idea!! I just browsed through some modelling sites and came across your page. The idea of making small vignettes like this has given me lots of ideas and will inspire me in my own 1/35 scale modelling efforts. What really impresses me is that you have not only made the models but also have the manuals and firing tables to go with it. Please accept my salute to your efforts!"
