| Well, tonight I finally get to watch the Raiders of the Lost Ark DVD that I got as a late Father's Day gift. After the main movie, I'm reviewing the Special Features, and behold, there is our own Chris Walas describing how he made the SS interrogator's face melt for the Wrath of God sequence that follows the opening of the ark.
I turned to Kathy and said, "That's the man who made my dragon!" I'm referring to the primary steam generator for my Brandywine & Gondor 2-6-0. It was really cool to see somebody from MLS on a DVD.
If you have not watched this part of the DVD, I highly recommend it. It is titled "The Mystery of the Melting Face."
Yours,
David Meashey | | | |

| Chris is a great guy and a nice man, to boot! He made this figure for my 1/8 scale caboose quite a few years ago. I treasure this brakeman. Chris is very talented!

| | I've never met him, but I certainly enjoy "knowing" him here on MLS. | |

| Victor;
My DVD has a cardboard jacket over the plastic case. A sticker on the jacket reads "First Time Available Special Edition See Where Adventure Begins!" So I guess it is the latest version of the DVD. It also has a preview of the current "Crystal Skull" movie.
Hope this helps,
David Meashey

| HMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The text editor took out my extra spaces on my previous post.
Just a gentle request. Could Shad or one of the moderators publish a sticky with a tutorial on how to get around the foibles of this text editor - Like when it removes your line spaces if you preview your post or have to edit the post. It is very annoying, and I would post more if I did not have to spend so much time second-guessing this text editor.
No hurry, but any help would be most appreciated.
Thank You,
David Meashey | | | |
