Hi all
I thought for all you scratch builders out there (and others) I would give you a link to dad's photo bucket where you can browse all the builds he has done as I have had some people asking about them.

Hope you enjoy,
Steve C Jnr

Your dad was superb at scratchbuilding some interesting models. It was a pleasure looking at his new projects and I learned plenty from him. Thanks for posting up his photos.

Hi Steve

Thanks for letting us access the photo albums. Great work throughout. Did you pass on some of the models to the museum your dad used to be connected with or are you planning to make a display of the pieces he did.

It would be nice to see his work some time as a whole, even the part complete stuff to see some of his thought processes and to get an idea of all the projects he did and had in background under construction.

Hope to catch up with you again.

All the best

Steve, I can't tell you how affected I was when I got to the end of his last build log and read the message that he had passed. It literally knocked me for a loop. Mostly because the post announcing his death came a couple of months after the fact.
Your dad inspired me to be a better scratchbuilder. For some reason, I could watch his builds and instantly "get it".
Now, having access to his photobucket account allows me to go back and see how barv did it, or, if he did it.

Thanks.
Very cool!

Thanks for the link. Your Dad was a master builder. Everyone one here have learned a lot by following your dad's builds. He truly thought outside the box.

He did some amazing work! ive looked at his photobucket a few times . He was a great scratch builder and modeller.

he not only built out of the box he remade the box

he was a big influence to scratchbuilding
