The Guys from Texas, 2014 Academy Instructors
In the past 3 months we have introduced each of our instructors at the second annual
Good Sam Academy of Miniatures. However, we did not have full pictures from The Guys from Texas then. We want to share them with you now. Jon Fish and Larry Osborn are among the finest designers and builders of miniature structures in the country. They can build in any scale and any period. The Guys may be reached at theguysworkshops@satx.rr.com
A Frank Conversation is a 1:12 scale room box in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. It will be a 3 day class and you will learn so much. Further information on this year’s Academy will be on the show web site in just a few weeks and will be announced here at that time.
Sit back and enjoy the pictures of A Frank Conversation. Click on pictures to enlarge them.
