Jens is doing some fabulous work in styrene, scratchbuilding all types of things from flatcars to log stackers. You don't have to be an expert scratchbuilder to appreciate the clean, crisp lines of his work, the uniformity of so many intricate parts and the precision with which each part of each model is executed.
Each area of the hobby has its masters. Among my favorites are our own Joe Fugate for scenery and Mellow Mike for weathering. These guys are so far beyond just talented its ridiculous. I'd put Jens in the same category for scratchbuilding.
This forum may not have the sheer volume of traffic that say the Model Railroader or Atlas forums have, but that doesn't matter. This is truly a case of quality over quantity. So, take five and soak up the photos and text these folks post - I guarantee you'll learn something and enjoy doing it.
