First off I would like to thank the new followers that joined this blog.

First off I would like to thank the new followers that joined this blog.  Secondly, I appreciate your patience between posts.  The reason there have been long stretches between posts is I am secretive while building and painting props.  It's not easy for me to share the creative process, and it makes me feel like I am giving everything away.   I hope readers and followers don't feel alienated during the breaks.
