After reflecting on the world of flat tin figures and the various categories of interest (editors, engravers, manufacturers , painters, technique, and the like) it seemed to me that something like a depository of articles that brought it all together was in order. I also knew that the developer of the software that organizes Wikipedia made the software available for free. When I found out about Mark's talent with software and that he maintained the IFFS forum, I threw the idea out to him. I felt guilty because I knew the bulk of the construction of such an Internet encyclopedia would fall on him. He liked the idea and ran with it. He has worked on this project for a number of weeks. I only hope others with knowledge of this wonderful art form will be enthused about it and motivated to write and to contribute to it. Just imagine the potential! And thank Mark for all the time and effort he put into this project. Thanks Mark.
Cheers,
Steve
