Congratulations Don. You submitted the picture how long ago?

 

 

 

 

Maybe two years ago.

 

Thanks again guys.  I've been locked out of the forums for several days.  Managed to reset my account today and got logged in again!

I just got my Feb edition today - looks great Don!  Congratulations.

Congrats Don! Well done.

I only just got my copy yesterday and got to see what you were all talking about.  Well done, Don!

Yeah, Don, I saw that when I received my magazine the other day. Very cool.

Congratulations

Bravo Don! Great looking build and well deserved to be shared with all the readers. 

I'm with Joe. Exactly how long ago was it that you submitted that?

Don, I just got the mag. The FSM editorial staff can sure pick out the best stuff. That's a beautiful model of the Akron.

     What's this about rotating props? Don't tell me you put some motors in there?  Powered by a Hydrogen fuel cell maybe?...lol.   I've seen the kits little propellers and motor mounts and to get them to spin is amazing.  (The magazines picture lacks detail but it looks like you made your own motor and mounts 'cause they sure look great.)

Terrific work on that old 1970's era mold of a kit. Nice find on the aerial shot of the field too.

I don't remember exactly my wording when I submitted the picture (several years ago).  I make disks showing props in apparent motion.  These are decals, made by scanning the kit prop(s), adding a rotation blur function with my photo editing software, and appy them to disks of celluloid.  Gives a great impression of rotating props.  The disks are so small on the Akron that it is hard to see, though.

Just got my copy yesterday. I was wondering if that was our Don (knowing his full name helped!) 

Beautiful work and congrads on being published! 

   I concure, great job on the airship. Very cool subject and well done good sir. Airships are an important part of aviation history and it is a shame there aren't more subjects available.

    Great job and congratulations on being published.

Congrats Don. I just came across it in the mag. 

Congrats Don, nice build!

You're a talented modeler and good contributor here. It's always a treat to see you published.

Thanks, guys
