SPA Modeler

I really like how that cp came out, Bruce. Quite an office to go to battle with.

Torben— Thank you so much. There is still some tasty Eduard PE circa 2004-7 I need to Gorilla Grip in place (the pilot needs a compass) as well as the main instrument panel. I sincerely appreciate your comment because I was unsure if this was working or not. I am trying to understand this with respect for a European aesthetic as a modeler. When I look at your work I feel the difference in the approach. The Menonite families where I grew up spoke Plautdietsch, and kept their European heritage in their crafts. Some beautiful intricate toys and furniture came from them. I thought of their approach when I was working out how to best paint RLM66. I have seen this color in a wide range and mostly as it was recreated for the few surviving Antons. The WWII interior palette used by Luftwaffe as being blue-grey variations—the way the United States used yellow-green. I do hope the rumor of a buried batch of Antons in Turkey turns out to be true.

This is beautiful work here, Bruce. Very nicely done!

Thanks so much, Ken! I am really inspired by your energy and talent! I can’t wait until your tanks sport metal tracks!

Oh it’s coming! Now that I know how easy they are to assemble! My Firefly will be outfitted with metal tracks, if I can find them.

Se snack op platt? Ik waard verrückt!
Bruce, there's so much to learn about you. One day we'll have a Klönsnack.

Torben! “Zwischenmahlzeit?” I feel I am back on the street near my home again and there is an answer I must give which will be the correct one... and alas, I am not sure what to say. I hesitate and stand moving from foot to foot.... so perhaps a change of subject—



A glimpse of Margot Robbie is enough to make thoughts impure! So. Also-also-also: you are outstanding and I am grateful for your ideas and advice. I must ask quietly it is exhaust burning from the Anton’s pipes that cooks the paint off, correct? I watched the start up of an Anton and it was a fire exhaler! A real dragon!



Kari! I salute you. Sincerely. I am trying for what you do when you add the glazes to your interiors. I have missed you around here. Although I know you are here it is good to “hear” your words. You are outstanding.

Shhh. Late night testing Henri’s resin Fw 190 A-8 spinner (I know I know this is an A-1) annnndd, wow;

Now that's a nice piece right there.

It's all good. There is a lot of beauty in the world at the moment. And it's spring. Spring has sprung. So, ya know there's that, too. A good VDM propeller in 1/32 is the icing... or maybe the cake and the icing. It's after midnight and I am calling it a night. Catch ya on the flip side, Clint.
