I do understand the disappointment. I've tried several times to get modelers/gamers that I know to at least TRY paper. No real interest. I also understand the "life getting in the way" of favorite hobbies. I have about 4 incomplete models that I have a hard time dedicating even half a day (let alone the weeks in would take) to complete. Stay true though, the next gen will come around. Great job!
