Harvester SK-5 Niva
From the moment Scalemates announced this new model, I wanted to have it. According to my knowledge for a harvester in scale 1:72 this is the only game in town.
With so many other projects still in the making, this will not see any progress soon, but I want you to have an impression of the kit, so I share some pics with you.

It is a resin and multimedia kit and not cheap (about 90 €). When checking for completeness, a few minor parts were missing. Nothing that cannot be scratched, but still a bit annoying. Have to check with the vendor of how to proceed with this.
Instructions are fairly clear so far, but not 100 % precise. For example: the main wheels appear as a single piece, while you have to assemble it from three parts.
First test fits of various pieces promises good fit and no necessity for a lot of guess work of where to put what.
I suppose that placing all the similar but still different wheels of the transmission correctly will be a bit of a challenge, as they are not specifically labeled on the casting block (which would have been nice and helpful).
Casting is precise and I have not found a bubble yet - only some rather minor imperfections.
some warp here, but that is about it.
nicely detailled engine...
...and small parts.
Casting blocks are small and quite easy to remove.
Here the assortment of the different transmission wheels
The photo etch fret. Most of it goes to the reel, cabin and transmission.
The clear parts appear not so clear, so I will most likely replace them with clearer sheet.
This should be fun to build.
This should be fun to build.
I felt like soldering, so I started with the reel. The flimsy parts and small connecting areas proved to be a challenge.
After a couple of failed attempts I managed. Sanding, fluxing, tinning, alinging, soldering were the steps that finally led to success.
Before cleaning excess solder...
...and the final result I am quite happy with.
Main body assembled
Nicely detailed engine.
some more work on the reel. I managed to straighten the warped areas with boiling water considerably. To improve looks I want to sharpen the edges of the spiral as on the real thing the spiral is only sheet metal. On the left side (right side on the pic 😉 ) I am close to the desired effect. The other side still has to be done.
slowly taking shape
The outer gear of the reel posed a problem, as - contrary to the instructions - the outer chain parts were available in one size only, while one (left) of the drives is shorter than the other.
I did what I´d do at my bike: take out two links. Now it fits.
Assembly and mounting of the outer reel gear was quite flimsy. Using some brass here and there and replacing some resin axles with brass ones resulted in an improved stability.
everything just dryfitted as I want to paint it in segments.
resin and brass. I like 🙂
Instructions were confusing, misleading, and partly downright wrong. Instructions call you to use the parts PE2 but the fret has two different ones designated PE2. Their position is not all to clear too. I put the ones with the long bracket to the spare box and used the short ones only.
Some pins provided additional stability and a test for operational soundness of my interpretation of the instructions.
Looks ok to me.
Soldering day. I finally managed to finish the ladder.
I build new handrails as I do not like the flat PE ones
Those are the parts for the cabin. I replaced the clear parts provided with the kit as they turned out to be a bit on the thicker side (even after I removed the protective foil 😉 ).
Soldering the metal parts of the cabin. After solid preperation that was easier that apprehended.
Fortunately each edge had a true angle which made alignment easier.
Here dry fit with the resin part. Now I can fit the roof und color the interior of the cabin.
small step. Ladder is done
Grain conveyer. The solid parts hollowed out and everything ready for paint.
First batch of parts ready for paint
First parts are done
The harvester needs something to harvest, doesn't he? Building some crop.
A rough idea of where I am heading at.
First steps on the inside of the cabin.
Finally ready for paint.
The reel with the spiral required quite some effort. When scraping the edge became irregular and had to be built up again with Tamiya putty which in turn needed sanding and trimming again.
The thin pins on the reel are made from 0,4mm brass tube, all axles are 0,9mm in diameter.
Slow progress. Interior completed. Some more detail painting and weathering necessary.
Finally fed up with my futile attempts to achieve a flat surface here (it bulged out all the time), I changed strategy and build the wall anew with styrene sheet.
Looks ok and the reel is finally attached and aligned.
Now test fit of all the transmission pieces. The easy side.
The tricky side finally done. Instructions lack a lot of information. PEs are many but often no info is given of where to put them. I made my choices and am quite happy with the result. Axles are 0.4 and 0.8 mm in diameter. In case you want to build this kit and you are keen about more details of where I put what, just post me a pm.
Primer on, but some blemishes had to be addressed
Dark rust color as base color
After a lot of tweaking and puttying and sanding...
...the drivers cabin is finally ready for paint too.
Two more rust tones and everything sealed with varnish.
The color mix I will go for.
And the first result after chipping with hairspray on the lower side of the cabin (upper part will be white).
I gave the color a bit more of a reddish hue by adding flat red (Mr. Hobby Color H13). Getting the chipping done on those semigloss colors takes some elbow grease and you gotta be careful not to miss the sweet spot and to chip down to the plastic. So far I am happy.
Some panels were lighted with H313 to give a bit of color variation
With the main body and all the tiny bits painted and chipped,...
...a big step has been done.
Bottomline I am quite happy with the result
Next step will be oils
Quite a few of those machines had spare parts in other colors than the main vehicle. So to achieve some visual interest, I decided to paint the engine in green
The tappets of the grain converyer were added
The fuel tank received some details.
Some cables and rods to bring life into the engine
Two inner struts I discovered in pics from the net were constructed and glued into the reel.
After some detail painting I started with oils. Here it is the wheels only.
The side walls progressed nicely. I am getting closer to the desired look.
Smaller parts done already
Well worn look of the driver compartment.
Painting is done. Tackling now the transmission.
Main parts are assembled.
Only the engine as major component has to be installed.
The main belts are soft tubes with a diameter of 0.4 mm.
Basic painting is done. The skin needs some more attention and I have to work a bit more on highlights and shadows. But for the first time I more or less managed to apply a glazing technique, keeping the preshading visible.
Puh. Installing the engine with some tubes/rods and pipes was tricky. Painting everything will be another challenge.
But now it is only the electric distributor with cables and a few bits and pieces to go.
But now it is only the electric distributor with cables and a few bits and pieces to go.
For some visual interest I decided to color the "replaced" engine green with an aluminum gearbox.
Electric distributor with lines added and all hoses and cables painted.
Hard to handle that beast.
Hard to handle that beast.
The last bits to be added.
Done. All missing bits and pieces were added (save the grain conveyer as I realized afterwards ?)
A few touches with oils at two or three spots will be the last steps.
Some parts I did not install intentionally, like the rear view mirrors or the cabin door. The former because non of the reference pics showed it with any of them, the latter as it would block the view into the cabin which I wanted to keep free.
Finally finished.
A few strokes with a brush, some flat varnish on glossy hoses and lines, a wash here and there to tone down parts too shiny, some oils and a detail here and there were the last works.
Finally some progress on this base too.
Let's continue with the base. Masking the area where the uncut crop will stand.
I had only 2 and 6 mm fibers. 3 would have been perfect. So I opted for the longer ones and will trim them later.
Where the harvester would have driven I flattened the fibers.
Next step: to place the hay the harvester discards when the glue is dry.
Next step: to place the hay the harvester discards when the glue is dry.
I added a bit of short green fibers, as no wheat field is free of some green stuff.
I planted all of my wheat I produced so far. But if I continue like this this build will never end. So I will have to change my technique here. Got an idea or two. Let´s see...
Tried a couple of approaches to plant my wheat, but nothing really convinced me. Let's try this. I fenced in the area where the uncut wheat stands, put white glue and packed long fibers into the fence, thus forcing them upright.
Anxious to see how this will work out. I hope that only about half of the fibers stick, as they are too packed this way. I will use my shaver to cut them to the desired length when the glue is dry. Cross your fingers. 🙂
Removed the fence. Unfortunately with some of the paint of the base too. Will have to fix that.
That's the way it looks after vigorous rubbing, combing and brushing. As hoped the fibers are much less dense now, but still stand nice and upright. The heap of fibers I combed out is quite impressive. Just looking at it you wouldn't expect one left standing, would you?

The glue Vampifloc provided as a sample when I bought their fibers - and which I used for this base - has some nice features. First, it doesn't form a skin so that handling is much more comfortable than with regular white glue. Second, you can just rub of excess glue from flat surfaces after it is dry. And the fibers stick quite good to it too.
Next step: trimming the length. I used my electric shaver for that purpose. After I achieved a uniform military style top surface, I cut it irregularly to make it look more natural.
Puuuh, fibers all over the place.
Puuuh, fibers all over the place.
Now, let's turn the fibers into crop by planting the spikes. For this I use some plant parts I came across somewhere.
I haven't figured out another way than to put those individually. Still a tedious job but still much faster, than to make each plant individually.
Getting there. I am starting to like the appearance of my little wheat field.
First segment done.
Puh. Finished. But I like how it turned out.
Only the harvested part looks not right yet. Compared with pictures of harvested fields it is much too green and the vegetation is too dense.
So I rubbed of a good deal of the gras and stubs. The last ones not being prominent enough anyway. That is closer to the real thing.
To get more prominent stubs I planted the rest of the field with fibers too. When the glue is dry it will be time again for my shaver.
Well, the first attempt didn't work out. The fibers were too packed and attached with too much glue. It just didn't look right. So here is the second try. Much less packed.
And the result after shaving almost everything off again. Getting there. 🙂
Now I have to pack the heaps of the cut stems the harvester spits out, then to finish the figure and lastly add a few details and perform minor repairs.
I should be able to complete this for Moson.
I should be able to complete this for Moson.
For the cut hay I used fibers cut to length and packed them with several layers of hairspray as glue.
The final step was a layer of hairspray onto which I sieved very fine scatter from the fiber-material to blend everything together.
I am still considering to give the hay and the wheat stems a more brownish hue. Haven't decided that yet.
The little maintenance scene is set. I changed the color of the box from orange to light blue. Like it better that way. The tools are a mix of photoetched parts from Hauler and printed ones from EMP3D.
The peeled off paint at the base was repaired, a little scatter put at various places to make the heaps of cut stems look more natural. Then a satin varnish was applied to reduce the artificial sheen. So the base is ready now. The harvester was attached to the board and secured via pins in the main wheels. Next - and last - step is to finish the paint job on the figure.

Calling him done.
Absolutely beautiful figure from Reedoak.

Michael KohlHey guys! You are more than welcome. Thanks for your likes too. Much appreciated.
3 June 2022, 20:01
Bruce HuxtableMy goodness, does it come with a Haynes Manual? 😉 Looks like a lots of challenges to overcome, but I'm sure the end results will be fantastic!
3 June 2022, 21:01
Michael Kohl@Bruce: unfortunately it doesn't. There are some areas where location of parts is not clear. So, if you happen to have a Haynes Manual for this russian harvester, please let me know. 😉
5 June 2022, 16:35
Michael Kohl@Ben M: I am happy with the reel too, so I thought I had a run and tried my soldering skills at the access ladder - and failed miserably. Everything that worked so smooth at the reel, would just not work at the ladder (for now 🙂).
5 June 2022, 16:40
Alec KCool project, something different it sure is. Question: in pic 19, is that a magnetic base?
13 June 2022, 12:44
Michael KohlHi Finn, Alec and Spajaard, nice to have you around.
@Alec: it is not a magnetic base but a ceramic one. It is meant for soldering as it can take any kind of heat.
13 June 2022, 18:26
Michael KohlThanks for your likes, folks. I am happily surprised about the attention this niche project receives. Stay tuned.
15 June 2022, 10:38
Robin (WhiteGlint)As much as we love the "normal stuff", I think many people are excited to see something unusual off the trodden path.
Keep up the good work, Michael. 👍
Your PE handling is top, are you soldering the parts?
15 June 2022, 11:19
Jörg SchäferHallo Michael.
Sehe das wie Robin, sehr schön mal was anderes zu sehen als immer nur Panzer und Flugzeuge.
Sehr akkurate Verarbeitung der Ätzteile.
Ich werde das hier weiter verfolgen.
18 June 2022, 14:24
Michael KohlThanx mates for your encouragement and welcome
@Robin: not least to further improve my skills, I wanted to solder particularly the bigger pieces. Soldered they are much more stable and can take some handling. But with some pieces I prefered super glue.
@Jörg: Danke dir, freut mich, wenn Du vorbeischaust
@Alex: the plan is to show it in its natural habitat - meaning harvesting, maybe together with a russian or czech truck. The original idea was to display it with a Cmelak and to build a second one (Cmelak) after I made my life miserable with the first one. But now I feel that the plane will take to much attention from the harvester.
18 June 2022, 17:42
Simon NagorsnikSo much work to do, my respect for your progress mate 😁
Great job with the PE`s!
22 June 2022, 18:30
Bruce HuxtableA proper engineering project for sure 👍 I'm impressed with your soldering skills, it's kinda like you have completed an apprenticeship!
22 June 2022, 19:14
Michael Kohl@Bruce: Well actually I did - but that was 31 years ago. 😉 And it was only basic training in high temperature soldering with a flame. So for soldering brass I had to start from scratch. But with practice success is achieved more often. 🙂
28 June 2022, 20:03
Jörg SchäferKrass, der Michael pflanzt Weizen.
Immer wieder geil dir bei deinen Baufortschritten zu zu sehen.
10 July 2022, 11:50
Michael KohlDanke dir Jörg. Ein Kompliment das ich nur zurückgeben kann. 🙂
Thanx Spanjaard, nice to have you around.
Bughunter, you are absolutely right, as the "grain" I put on for layout purposes is hemp - plumpers hemp - indeed. 🙂 I experimented with it to do the grain, but the fibers are too uneven.
19 July 2022, 15:28
Mark BroughtonGreat build, its very similar to the combine my Dad used in the 70's. My son is harvesting in Claas combine this year thats like a space ship in comparison.
20 July 2022, 08:38
LaliscaleOh my god. In my childhood we played on this monster in a machine graveyard. It was not so safety from now but exciting... Michael this is a very cool kit i'll follow your project.
20 July 2022, 18:18
Bernhard SchrockSehr erfrischend etwas zu sehen, was total aus dem Rahmen fällt! 🙂 die Lötstellen sehen sehr sauber aus. Womit hast du gelötet?
20 July 2022, 19:31
Michael KohlThanx Mark and Laliscale. Nice thought that this brings on some childhood memories. Concerning safety: when I watch the YouTube-Videos of this machine and look at all the moving parts of the various transmissions, I ask myself how many fingers have been sacrificed to the god of Niva.
30 July 2022, 18:24
Michael KohlDanke Bernd. Ich nehme nen einfachen Lötkolben, verzinne die Spitze und verzinne damit die zu lötenden Kanten nachdem ich diese mit feinem Schleifpapier und Alkohol gereinigt habe. Alles wird nur mit Handschuhen angefasst und ich nutze viel Flussmittel. An Lot nehme ich normales Elektrolot.
30 July 2022, 18:28
Michael KohlWelcome Dean and Zsolt!
Haha Zsolt, I would like to peek into your stash. I suppose there are some goodies to be found there. 🙂
And thanks alot for all the likes for my projects. Much appreciated.
15 October 2022, 12:22
Michael KohlThanks Dariusz. With two bigger hurdles cleared I think it will progress more smoothly for a while. Stay tuned.
9 November 2022, 07:18
Michael KohlThanks mates for your motivating comments. Nice to see your interest in this niche build.
@Alex. The kit is a bit complex indeed. With that in mind one can only congratulate Snake Model for their very good engineering. Unfortunately instructions are not on the same level. So some experimenting, creativity and research on behalf of the modeller is needed.
15 November 2022, 09:32
milossOhohooo, that´s FANTASTIC!!! Great, great, great! Where do you buy Snake model´s kit, please? They have so many so cool objects, in their offer!
26 November 2022, 12:12
Michael KohlThanx mates for your interest. Miloss, I saw this kit in the newsfeed here on scalemates and was looking around. I found mine at panzerfux.de. They still offer a few kits, right now the Harvester for 72€ as a black friday offer.
27 November 2022, 00:03
Tom B.Coming along nicely 👍 Nearly made me buy one myself! But I settled for the tracked carrier thingy (TDT-55)...
29 November 2022, 18:43
bughunterGreat progress 👍
pic 67: you can not chip into plastic, because there is only resin 😉
29 November 2022, 19:14
Michael KohlThanks folks for your nice feedback and the likes. Much appreciated. Tom, good luck on your tracked carrier. Keep us posted.
1 December 2022, 12:07
Alec KThis looks absolutely super Michael. That chipped red turned out great 👍
1 December 2022, 19:37
Michael KohlThank you, Alec. I have to admit, that I am quite happy with how it turned out so far.
3 December 2022, 23:22
Michael KohlThanx mates for your encouraging feedback and all the likes for this non-mainstream subject. Looks like the finish line is not too far away anymore.
14 December 2022, 09:59
Robin (WhiteGlint)The harvester looks great, I love the weathering and chipping.
14 December 2022, 11:37
John1:72 is not my scale but that's really impressive. I would have sworn it was 1:35.
15 December 2022, 01:44
Robert PodkońskiThat's just amazing, Michael! I am impressed with your work (and perseverance)!
15 December 2022, 14:53
MariusI wanted to wait till the end, but I stopped by again to say your agricultural thingy is one of the best models in 1:72 I have seen here lately.
Will there be a diorama with it?
18 December 2022, 15:59
Michael KohlMarius, I am quite moved by your statement. And - yes - a dio is in the making.
20 December 2022, 10:12
Simon NagorsnikYou have done a really outstanding piece of work here!!
Congratulations on this complicated project.
Good work with the pe- parts.
It was s plessure to follow your progress
Oh man, The painting looks really fantastic and deserves respect for that👏
The whole weathering is just outsanding!
But haven't I seen a base somewhere😉
22 December 2022, 05:13
Łukasz GlińskiOh mate, simply exquisite 😮 👍
Extremely hard to believe this is 1/72
22 December 2022, 09:03
bughunterVery nice near-final pictures, but it will look even better on the pic 50 base 👍
Very impressive PE and paint work!
22 December 2022, 09:14
Michael KohlThanks so much. I am really flabbergasted by your comments.
@ bughunter: the base is in the making
26 December 2022, 20:23
Bernhard SchrockTop result! I hope to see this masterpiece live. Lingen 2023?
28 December 2022, 06:18
Michael KohlThank you guys for sneeking in and commenting so positively.
Bernhard, I am afraid that Lingen will not be the place to see it as I live in Nürnberg and Lingen is quite a ride from there. In former times - while still living further north - Lingen was compulsory of course. But - maybe I can motivate some other guys from around here...
Daniemalan, a field is in the making.
29 December 2022, 17:23
Albert MooreI love this. It's different, and it's built and painted extremely well.
31 December 2022, 02:08
NeulingRudi Ratlos vor dem Mähdrescher ......... looks like a 1/35 build, very well done .............
11 February 2023, 11:23
Michael KohlDanke Neuling. 😀 Rudi Ratlos bekommt noch ein bisschen Werkzeug damit er die Kiste wieder richten kann. Űbrigens ne tolle Figur von Reedoak.
14 February 2023, 08:51
Michael KohlThanks Jakub and all who liked that one. It really makes me happy to receive such a nice feedback for this unusual subject.
16 February 2023, 18:34
Ralf TopetersWhen it fits the subject every good response is more then well earned! Absolutely great build! 👍
16 February 2023, 18:51
Michael KohlThanks Frank (bughunter). Only a few square centimeters are to be done. Then all the spikes will have been planted. Quite a tedious job but I have not found another way then to put them individually one by one.
Thanks James and to all of you mates for your likes. I really hope to get it ready for the Model Show in Moson.
24 March 2023, 18:43
Spanjaardypur wheat is perfect!!! It can not get more realistic that pic 130, simply WOW!!!!
24 March 2023, 20:24
Michael KohlHi Spanjaard. I have to admit that I am very pleased too how the wheat turned out. Only the harvested part of the field is not yet to my liking. But I got an idea... 🙂
25 March 2023, 23:17
bughunterThat is so real, pic 149 and 150 (with another background) can be used to create fake news 🙂
28 March 2023, 07:01
Ralf TopetersThis one looks so real if it weren't on a diorama base it would have totally fooled me. My honest truth. What a masterpiece. It is an early stage of the year but I have to admitt that this one has the potential to become the buld of the year for me on this plattform. Congrats to your skills. 👍 I bow before you! 🙂
28 March 2023, 10:24
Tyson TuAmazing work and a fantastic example of rework (the harvested part of the field) paying off!
28 March 2023, 11:23
Michael KohlGuys, you comments are extremely flattering and they mean a lot to me. It is really nice to have you on board.
2 April 2023, 12:10
Tom B.That figure has an absolutely spot-on pose for the setting... one can litteraly feel the headache creeping up on that guy wondering what even happened to fix his harvester in the midlle of the field!
16 April 2023, 19:57
Tyson TuAwesome work on the figure, especially the shading and highlighting on the overalls!
17 April 2023, 12:08
Bruce HuxtableAstonishing at 1:35, but this is 1:72! Superb skills, patience, creativity, and determination have created a jewel!
17 April 2023, 12:39
Spanjaardi wish i could paint 1/35 (or any scale for that mattes) half as good as you did that figure in 1/72, it is fantastic
17 April 2023, 12:49
Michael Kohl@Tom B: jep, I really like the pose of that figure too. I can only repeat my recommendation for the Reedoak figures. The ones I have are really fabulous.
bughunter, Spanjaard, Christian, Tyson Tu, Bruce, coporada thanks for the feedback, really made my day.
And a warm Thanks to all who sneeked in and left a like. Very much liked. 🙂
18 April 2023, 10:37
Zsolt CzegleAWESOME work. I'm really happy to see it in person in Moson this weekend! See you there!
18 April 2023, 11:32
Hanno KleineckeThis keeps getting even better ! The adition of the figure and tools makes it look even more convincing, especially considering the tiny scale ! 👍
18 April 2023, 14:35
Michael KohlThanks Zsolt and Hanno. Such positive comments from mates whose models I cherish means a lot.
Looking forward to meet in person, Zsolt. 🙂
19 April 2023, 13:30
Michael KohlHere are some pictures of the finished project. Started in May 2022 it took me less than a year to complete. Thus it qualifies as a speed build according to my standards. 😉
It was really moving to see the interest in this build, to read your comments and the likes after you visited. You made this a special experience. Thanks a ton for that.
To me this build was special for another reason too, as it is my first model which in the end really looks the way I envisioned it when I started.
A big Thanks to Snake Model too. This well done kit gave me a really good time.
Happy modelling to all of you mates out there.
20 April 2023, 19:18
bughunterThanks for this journey! It was a pleasure to watch the creation of this award winning dio 👍 Good luck for Moson!
20 April 2023, 19:26
Juergen KlinglhuberJaw-dropping result on this 1/72 project. 👀
All my respect for this workman skills. Hat's off.
21 April 2023, 05:41
MariusAs I said it before, this turned out to be one of the prettiest dioramas in 1:72 I have seen here lately.
And that is because of different reasons more or less subtle:
#1 Between tanks and jets there is suddenly an agricultural thingy, certainly an eye catcher
#2 The high level and sharpness of detail on the machine
#3 Spot on weathering with a very realistic look and just the right amount
#4 Very beautiful diorama in itself (the figure painting, the wheat, etc.)
#5 ....and the most important one surpassing the previous points is the genuine amtosphere. It feels like in the 70's in a sunny and very hot summer day in some Eastern steppe. Somehow time stands still in a different era, when the notion of tight schedules and constant rushing weren't an issue.
21 April 2023, 06:16
Michael KohlThanks again Frank, Spanjaard, Kyle, Juergen, Marius, Neuling and Vincent for your flattering comments and to all of you guys who visited and left a like.
@Marius: points #2-4 were aspects that I strived to achieve. That you point them out particularly means a lot to me. That this machine evoked childhood memories and the atmosphere you mentioned is more than one cherry on the cake.
22 April 2023, 22:01
Aleksei PavlovВсем привет. Отличная работа. Очень понравилась!!! Сначало увидел фото с Мосона. Потом скинули ссылку на автора работы.
23 April 2023, 20:10
Michael KohlYes Frank. Thanks for your interest. 🙂 One was a special recognition as Excellent Model 2023 by Civilian Scale Model Building and in the official category "Master-Class: Diorama civilian vehicles" it received a third place. But maybe even more rewarding than the official awards were a few positive personal comments and seeing it being photographed by other modellers. And - last but not least - it came back into my cabinet without damage. 🙂
24 April 2023, 22:33
Łukasz GlińskiCongratulations. The logistics of built models is always my biggest fear - and you made it so far and back without any damage! 👍
25 April 2023, 07:33
Zsolt CzegleCongratulation Michael! It's a really awesome work.
I'm glad to met you and be able to see your works in person! See you next year in Moson!
26 April 2023, 21:00
Ludvík KružíkMichael, congratulations on winning the award for this model. You really deserve it!
26 April 2023, 21:36
Michael KohlAgain, thank you mates for your congratulations.
Zsolt, that was really nice meeting you in Moson and seeing your models live.
Looking forward to next year.
30 April 2023, 19:02
Jennifer FranklinThis is incredible work. I can see why you won an award. Very inspiring.
