Fantastic - the chain really gives an extra "eye candy" point of interest!

Wow, there are now over 35,000 views for this Balrog bash.
I am sincerely honored and humbled by the many views this bash continues to get.

Out of all my kitbashes, this Balrog is still my favorite.

Thanks to everyone who has viewed this kitbash!

I'll admit that for a moment - I DID wonder . . . . has Joe attacked this again :D

Well….I really should make a much better and more interesting base for this guy….

But in this rare case, I should probably listen to my wife’s advice as she frequently tells me “quit F’n with it!”

Joe ... the votes have been counted ... I think this Ballrog needs to make a trip to Louisville in 2024 ... :wink:

I just noticed something interesting ... in the pre-FB, pre-social media era, there were a LOT more threads on this sub-directory, but rarely many over 1000 views ... as we get into the FB era, the number of threads goes down massively ... while the views per thread start going up ... finally, over the past 8 years, the number of threads REALLY slows down ... but you get some threads with gigantic numbers of views ... this thread being #1 on that list ... my guess would be the increased traffic is from LINKS posted on FB and elsewhere ... which just goes to show ... advertise the CH with a teaser photo or two, then give them a LINK ... and ... "If they LIKE it, they WILL COME!" :mrgreen:

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!! :xmastree: :jester:

Thanks BA, but I already took the Balrog to Wonderfest in 2023 and it won a silver.

And I think you are right about CH posts getting views due to people posting links on social media sites.
