I'm sure some of the reason you haven't got any comment is the subject matter. As all of it had to be scratchbuilt, I think you have shown considerable skill in the making of Ol' Sparky, well done sir !!

I love all the intricate work!

Thank you Analyzer and 19narvik40.

Why do you think the subject matter is some of the reason why there has not been any comment?

I have noticed in the past few years a decrease of comments in some threads. My guess is that our society has become a "symbol society" - there's a symbol for everything as if we could not read anymore... Theme parks are filled with symbols, our micro-waves, freezers, washing machines, etc. FB and IG have in part been responsible for that "symbol culture", almost as we could not express ourselves anymore without a symbol (rather sad actually...) So I think maybe it's a lot easier and faster to leave a "like" or a "thank you" instead of writing something down. Don't get me wrong "likes" are important and a sign that the thread as been seen and appreciated however I believe a forum is not a one way road. There should be interaction between members to keep threads (and the forum) "alive".

Anyway thank you for your opinions and "likes".

I think it looks great! When I was about 10, my dad helped me build a miniature gallows for my G.I. Joes, so this is right up my alley. This looks about the same scale, too
