Manstein's revenge

 

 tankerbuilder:

Yeah, he 'aint into stereotypes like us boys...LMAO...how patronizing...

tankerbuilder, tea? What if she's a Guinness gal? I'm not worried about the collection of gnarly faces around here, I'm really more interested in what is being built. OK OK, I am also attracted by the in-depth knowledge of all things Python!

Well,now that they all got their yucks,WELCOME ABOARD and GLAD to have you with us.My girls(and I include the ones I was and am married to, taught me that stereotypes don,t fit in todays life.) I raised three married and outlived one and the other one is terminally ill and in a home.They ALL have and had an avid interest in my modeling. I built on commission a 4' steamboat (1865 southern river sternwheeler) for TRUSTHOUSE - FORTE intl. For the CONVENTION CTR.  HOTEL in LITTLE ROCK ,AR. All my girls had a part in it.My wife cut out parts.My daughter (the oldest)Trimmed them.The middle girl sanded and primed them and the littlest one put them in ready stacks for daddy to work from. My middle daughter loves building BIG RIGS and has since I bought her one of the (,1/16 scale  MONOGRAM "PETERBILTS and FLATBED trailer) for CHRISTMAS.She still builds them today.I believe you call them LORRIES don,t you?I have always had a fixation for BRITISH high end motorcars like the ASTON-MARTIN ,Jag -"E" models and saloons as well as my love an AUSTIN-HEALEY 100-6. I once even owned a WOLSLEY? did I spell that right? So you just make a spot of tea , sidle up to the work-bench and model away. I still haven,t figured out the right way to post pics,but, I am one of the fellows that practices the modeling "BLACK-ARTS" Yes ,I admit it. I build ships ,things that look like ships ,smell like them and darn it are. I enjoy them most.When I finish a ship for a client,(I am NOT patronizing you,)I enjoy A large cuppa (EARL GREY with a little lemon) and give myself a well done.I am so glad to see a PRETTY face instead of all these gnarly ones ,WELCOME AGAIN   tankerbuilder

Manstein's revenge

 

 Elizabeth Jane:

 

Wow! Manstein's revenge that was a quick reply.

I was actually thinking 12 was a little old but didn't want to say.

 

Well, I'm 229 years old so I skew the average...

 

OK, 12 may not be the true average... but an unusual amount of people here have a great deal of Monty Python in their systems, which may account for the 12-year-old behaviour!

You'd think the average age of modelers in here is 12 instead of mid-'40's (as it actual probably is)...
