Tack så mycket Len, It was a great fun to design the Santa models. They opened my own eyes for the poetical sides of technology and its history. I am sorry if I made you disappointed by stopping the series. But I am old enough to be allowed to sit down and think over my situation asking: Am I doing this for fun or am I doing this for I have put myself in a sort of obligation. The time before Christmas is usually quite stressy even without having to think of a new invention to present in a week or so. Of course one could have designed the Christmas models half a year in advance. But I don´t function that way. It is not until the first snow falls that I get inspiration enough to start the design job.... Actually, feedback like the mail you sent, encourages me to think of taking up the series again. This paper model group and its predecessing mail lists have been of such a great importance for me and I could tell you that the Santas were born in my mind as a way of corresponding with all you nice people out there. Thanks and Best Wishes Gunnar

Since 1999, I have always looked forward to Dec. 13th in anticipation to the very special gifts you provide each year at this time. I was hooked on your "Santa and the Art of..." series and have made everyone of them, which we hang on our Christmas Tree each year. I was disappointed that you decided to stop the series, however I am sincerely grateful that you still keep the spirit alive with the wonderful gifts you do continue to provide. Part of my anticipation each year is to see if you might have decided to continue the "Santa" series :>) and although this may not be in your interests right now, I will continue to hope that some day we will once again see "Santa and the Art of ?????. I'm sure some of the other old time paper modelers may feel the same way...Speak up if you're out there!!! tack så mycket Thank you very much, Len Johnson On Thursday, December 13, 2012 3:14:54 AM UTC-5, gunnar wrote: A Fairbairn crane to you all with the best Christmas Wishes at www.bildrum.se Gunnar -- No virus found in this message.
