Great paint job and yes, have to admire their dedication to Marco!

At the risk of turning the thread into an online version of the word game of Call My Bluff(yes, I am that old..) ....Spookily....Skookum... It’s apparently also a word for Monster..

“A skookum is a variety of mountain giant or monster similar to the Sasquatch or Bigfoot.[2] In the surviving Chinuk-Wawa spoken in Grand Ronde, Oregon, this variant is pronounced differently—skoo-KOOM—but when used in English with this meaning, it is pronounced the same way as the "big and strong" meaning.”..(from the fountain of truth that is WickedPedia)..
