Jim is one heck of a builder.when he joined the club it helped push me into making more Detroit buildings and make them more detailed and realistic.
For the past 4 years Jim and several other members of MichLUG have been displaying at The Henry Ford muesum around Christmas and Jims buidings are allways a HUGE hit among the visitors.
I think our goal is to make as many Detroit buildings as possible and perhaps by the 20th anniversary of MichLUG(2020) we will have most of the large buildings done.

As for doing the Ren Cen with him sure..if we could get someone else to pay for the bricks I will store it :-)

Well, I’ve grown accustomed to the city, its not so bad in winter. I have only been to Detroit as a teenager in, 1984 to watch the horrible tigers destroy my beloved San Diego Padres in the World Series. I conduct all the interviews by email and make up most of the introduction paragraph from whole cloth and a little help from google.

Oh, how very sad for you. ;-) Living in Vegas must be rough! What brought you out to Detroit?

Truly enjoyed this interview. Great job.

Thanks Eric, I think Jim gave one of the best interviews of the series and he was a pleasure to work with. I am not from Michigan, I currently reside in the wasteland better known as Las Vegas.

Thanks for posting this. As a native Detroiter, I’m familiar with Jim’s work, but it was nice to learn more about it.

Keith, are you from Michigan as well?
