The Award-Winning Customs of Daniel Hew, aka danielmodelmeister...

I have to say, one of the developments of the Lamley Group blog that I am most happy with is the amount of customs that we get to feature.  We have essentially dedicated the weekends to customs, and it seems the Lamley mailbox is getting stuffed with submissions every week.  It is to the point now that we have to sit down like magazine editors and filter through all the work and decide what to feature.

The stuff we get is fantastic, and as I have always said, it does not always have to be about who has the highest level of skill.  Sometimes a simple wheel swap can change the entire feel for a model.  Other times, the idea is fantastic, and the execution still a work in progress.  Those models still should get featured as far as I am concerned.

But then there are those whose talent is on a level unmatched by most.  And we like to dedicate entire features to their work, and hopefully convince them to regularly contribute to Lamley.  Names like Scale-Master, Franklin2700, Lim Rikmun, and fiery Tim Phelps hopefully become mainstays here.  And there are many other names out there that might get a contributor invitation as well.  Stay tuned...

Today we add another name to the contributor list.  Daniel Hew of Malaysia has been featured several times in our "As is the Custom" post, but it is time for him to get his own.  I asked Daniel to pick a few of his pieces for show and tell, and he decided to start with some of award-winners.  Look for more contributions from Daniel in the future.

Enjoy...
