Chuk,

I recently stumbled up your build in the aircraft forum and could not stop reading your updates until it was done. You make the art of a WIP a true art form. (no pun intended)

This dio is shaping up to be another adventure I look forward to being a part of!

 

Hope all is well with you and yours!

Thanks!

Dave

Wow- thanks, guys!   So glad you like it- I'm really having a blast with all this huge 1/35 stuff.   Next up will be new seat mounts for my Ju388- in brass wire, of course- gonna open the boarding hatch as well, so they'll be seen. 

 

Krow, that's a Schaefer Beer sign from my Sainted Father's old tavern- "It's the one beer to have when having more than one!" 

 

Manny, er, have my blessing.

 

Cheers!

Many thanks!

This little bugger has gotten to the point that it takes an alert mind and a gentle touch to work on it.  So many delicate parts!

Thanks, guys!  Steve, my niece left a bottle on her last visit- but not the best kind!  Read on...

I've tried something new- and gotten decent results so far.   One thing I will emphathize is to use a "light hold" type hairspray- I use a "heavy holding" variety and had a time scrubbing it off.  No worries, though- read on!

Chuck

I have NO IDEA how a week went by and no one (myself included Bang Head) chimed in on this.

I love every bit of it! As usual... you make the complex seem so simple... I hate you!

As per the usual, I am left wanting to see more. I can't wait until your next update. Keep it coming, man! Keep it coming!!!!

Thanks, guys- I was beginning to wonder!   I'm going to strip the paint and start again- too pitted!

Chuckw:

I think there is a reason that there was a dearth of comments on your latest post. 

You are officially in the category of 'god'.

 

You see, the forum is divided into different types of people who post:

The Average Joe:  People feel like they can interact with the Average Joe, offering advice, encouragement, and information.  Typical responses include suggestions for improvement, links to better techniques, and other unsolicited advice.

The Above Average Guy:  People feel that they can offer praise and encouragement.  They will also answer request for information.  They feel free to critique one small thing on a model, such as a missed seam or such.  They might inquire about the source of the PE, or the tools that were used.

The demi-god:  These guys are so far above the normal person that you can only offer praise and encouragement.  There is nothing to criticize, and even if there were, we are not qualified to say so.  People will ask about technique, and every reply posting is framed in superlatives.

The god:  This person is so far above the level of the normal poster, that we don't even feel that our praise is worthy of being posted.  We simply stare, agog at the level of skill and attention to detail.  We dont bother to ask about technique, because we can't do it anyway.  We merely follow along, lurking in the thread, as the god's abilities tower over us like a colossus bestriding the lazy pacing clouds of modeling.

This being the case, none of us are able to muster the courage to post a reply!

Keep up the good work, love posts and the drawings.  Seriously first class work all around! (If I may be so bold!)
