I have some other stuff to hang, but I just put these prints into a frame lastnight. I know it's not the best, but at least they are flat and viewable on the wall. Bob Paeth worked for Revell and when he saw things going into the dumpster, he grabbed them! He saved the artwork for the boxes on many kits. Bob offered prints of these pieces for a pretty cheap price with his own signature on them. This print was Bob's creation....if it was not for him, this kit would have never been made. If you have this kit, you will see Paeth on the body. I got an original with his signature before he died, shortly after we met in Kansas. Bob was a great guy and friend. I have some other prints he gave to me also, but not framed yet. If you don't know who Bob was, google him....he was responsible for about 80 kits being produced and was the oldest living modeler. The bottom print is another left over from what he was selling that was gotten and given away on the Coffin Corner forum for any members who knew him and willing to sign the print and pass it on to the rest of the list. I signed the print and I think there was about 20 or so of these done, so there are others out there just like mine...but not all exactly the same considering handwriting is different on each one. Some of the prints were given to members of Bob's family also.

Technically, that is a well done painting.
