Hi Vinton.... I`d been in contact with John regarding a pending delivery [which has now arrived] so I brought it to his notice that you were waiting to hear from him..... I guess he gets inundated with mail at times ..things can get overlooked or take time to get to deal-with.
I think because these systems are hand-made, you can get variations in specifications from one order to the next ... it`s something we all have to live with.... I guess the ` human touch` helps with realism ..if these things were all run off by machine, they`d be just cloned and probably not look so good sometimes.... this whole game, from bonding materials / clean-up`/cut-in`s and everything in between, is one big tightrope walk ! 10% gray on one order can probably be ` different` on the next allowing for the `eye` of a particular ventilator.... I have 2 new systems here now and there is a definite difference in it !
