just wanted to share this email I got today. Amazing talent.........
His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney. Everyone thought he was a bit eccentric and kids would tease and hassle him, but it was discovered he was very talented and only sold the empty bottles and some of the cans.
After he died in 1998 (aged 86) His large collection of Model Cars he made from the Aluminum Cans was discovered.
Some of his collection ----
