**★★★★★ — Michael Jackson PhD - Executive Director The Loo, Jan. 2021**

> Brian is the most amazingly skilled model-maker that I have ever had the pleasure of working with.  He did an amazing job on our latest model of the Pender Harbour Ocean Discovery Station (PODS - (Sensitive Information Hidden) and he managed to finish the job on a tight schedule even with all the problems with getting the necessary materials during the COVID pandemic.  Brian has great ingenuity and strives to make everything as precise and to scale a s possible.  His models have helped us to raise thousands and thousands of dollars toward our project and we are very proud top have them adorn our PODS showroom.

**★★★★★ — Frank Boersma, Jan. 2021**

> The three boat models Brian Klassen built for me exceeded my expectations for quality of finish, exactness for details and overall beauty.  A true artisan and craftsman.  All who have seen them share my feelings.  I can not rate him too highly.
