heh heh heh... time to pay the fiddler...

Is that a Weird Science reference you just made?  "The booze hounds return.  What a joke. Hi, girls."  Chet, is it?  Awesome!  I'm gonna go get a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray now.

You had that "what happened yesterday" experience as well? Makes 2 of us! I only had 2 hours of sleep because I had to catch a train... Went to bad at 4:15 AM and had to get up at 6:30 AM...

Sounds like you guys have been having a fun weekend. I can't want to see the models that resulted from this debauchery.

I am in Carynthia right now (family trip) and I'll stay here for a week.

I managed to take all my modelling stuff with me though, so I'll keep working on my Jug. I even borrowed a notebook from a friend so I have access to the forum.

I'll post pics as soon as I get my bench set up...

Cheers, Clemens

Have yet to purchase my M4.  That will have to wait until after my wife's birthday at the beginning of August.  I think it would be bad form to be buying myself more presents than she'll be receiving.

The model I'm working on now is coming along nicely.  Had a small setback last night but that can't be blamed on alcohol because I wasn't drunk.

I'm not making any promises for tonight though. 

LOL! That's your story and you're sticking to it? I agree with your method I must admit. I still have not yet even made a subject selection...  Hmmmm...

Do the German milkman in "Longest Day." 

How about an aircraft? We still have no Mustang in this GB...

Just my 2 cents...

BB, Verlinden does do a nice mounteed figure that looks one heck of a lot like that one...

Sparten, I am half tempted to do a recon F-6 Mustang, I have the Accurate kit of that in D-Day markings. In the Draper National Guard Armory in Utah, in a hallway there was a series of paintings depicting the National Guard in combat action. These were large paintings roughly 3 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. one was of a Recon Mustang doing a low level run over the beaches at Normandy, and was so beautifully done. I presume the recon squadron depicted in the painting was a National Guard outfit...

I'd love to see you building a Pony! If it looks only half as good as your Tiger, it's going to be a beautiful model!

Thank you for the kind words there ;-)

Hey the F-6 sounds cool SP. But I bet you have a pile of other subjects in your stash you could build too. It's all cool!

The Churchill is pretty much ready for paint. I spent what little time I did devote to modeling to the Nieuport 17 I"m building for the Great War Aircraft GB and the AH-64 I'm building for the local museum. Sorry, those are on a schedule and I have still about a year or so to finish the Churchill.

But it'd be a REAL pony if he does the milkman one.

*chants* Milkman! Milkman! Milkman! 

Behold his glory. 

BB, you are an instigator, aren't you? ;-)

Gamera, yes my stash has numrous subjects appropriate for a Normandie build, Allied and German. Figures, Aircraft, Armor, Ships...

Sparten, you do have the wheels spinning in my head on that Mustang,  but for something(s) not yet in my stash... you're an instigator as well ;-) I love that painting!!!

But if you do the Milkman, I'll pay you in alcohol.    What are we up to now?  I owe you gin, tonic, and a six- pack.  Name your price!

Fear the Milkman.  FEAR HIM!   (hehe, this is great fun!)

Looking again at this picture is he riding a mule?  Even more hilarious!  MILKMAN RULES!  You know you want to.  Just do it.  It'll be awesome!  Plus you'd have to use all your skills to convert the horse into a mule and create milk containers for it!  I throw down the gauntlent!

A commision build? (YOU ARE REALLY stirring the pot) LOL! But ther Verlinden kit is on a horse,( I think) and my conversion skills for animals are non existant....

BTW, the actor who played "Milkman" is the guy who played Goldfinger ("No Mr.Bond, I expect you to die...")

Bitbite, stop it. You don't want to experience my wrath...

We Austrians can get really enraged sometimes. And that's definitely nothing you want to see.

Stik: Join the dark side. You know you want to... 3 words for you: Build. That. Mustang.

Just kidding. I'll leave the choice to you. Build whatever you want. I'm sure it will be impressive at the end, no matter what it is.

I can't really offer you any alcohol, because that stuff wouldn't be good anymore when it arrives in the states,,, I'd even send you a 6-pack of beer for free... We have some excellent beer here in Austria...

Silence, Mozart! 

Stop whining, stik! 

I will buy you a bottle of booze equivalent to the price you pay for the kit if you will build the Milkman.  Or are you . . . afraid?  

FEAR THE MILKMAN!  FEAR HIM! 

Do you accept?

But I have plenty of alcohol.  Alllllll yooouuuu waaaaant.  

Austria has no good beer.  Only good wine and music.  Actually, I think the Milkman was from Austria too!  So now he must be built!

Austria has some awesome beer AND wine AND music... That milkman might indeed be from Austria. If he is, i can only second what BB said: FEAR HIM!!! (= don't build him) If he isn't, we don't need him, Not at all (= don't build him either).

I could say something really dumb now (please don't take that serious): I could buy ya GOOD Austrian beer with the same value as the Mustang (40€?)... That would be a huge and heavy package...

COME TO THE DARK SIDE. TOGETHER WE WILL RULE THE GALAXY, ERR FORUM...

I think we frightened Stik with our madness...

MADNESS? MADNESS?! THIS. IS. SPARTA!!! ERR, FINESCALE!!!!

Sorry, had to do it....

Nah.  I'm just bribing him to make the Milkman in secret messages.  

I don't need those pesky messages, I'll use the force!

Maybe I just haven't tasted enough Austrian beer.  Send me some and I'll stop.
