  1. Hi Dennis, I have to admit, I chuckled at this. Rammstein fans (and to be honest, all of the metal scene that I've seen), are, in-fact the friendliest and most inclusive bunch of music enthusiasts I've ever been around. To be perfectly honest, most metal fans are often seen as "outsiders" by the "normal" people, and as such, they are an incredibly friendly group and every metal gig I've been to has had a diverse audience. In case you need any more convincing, here's one of Rammsteins songs; it's called "Links, Zwo, Drei, Vier". The reason for this is "Links, Zwo, Drei, Vier" is associated with the historic German army (in marching, it means Left, Two, Three, Four)- Rammstein addressed those who accused those of being neo-nazis by writing this song the chorus goes "They want my heart to be on the right, But when I look down, it beats to the left." Rammstein are an awful long way from the right side of the political spectrum, they have said they are liberals. If you need any more proof'; Mein Land - about the dangers of Xenophobia Amerika - about American culture overtaking local cultures Auslander - about colonialism and tourism (specifically tourism as exploitation of less wealthy people for certain "pleasures/desires" one might say...) Deutschland - about how the lead singer has a complex relationship with Germany, he wants to love and hate Germany equally (it makes a big deal of the wrong doing that happened in Germany). Rammsteins songs generally discuss complex moral questions, but they often hide the meaning behind imagery, as if to show how lots of people are narrow-minded and don't think critically. I'm a bit younger than your daughter, I've been to a fair few gigs (sadly not Rammstein - yet!) with my partner, she's said the metal crowd are by far the friendliest - I certainly don't think you have anything to worry about!
  2. My partner (a she) has consistently had cheaper car insurance than me (I'm a he). We passed our driving tests at about the same time, drive similar yearly mileage, her car is 50% more expensive than mine, we work at the same company, and live together. We both have the same no claims, yet her car insurance is cheaper than mine. If I add her to my insurance, the cost decreases, if I add myself to her car insurance, the cost increases. I passed my driving test first time with one minor, she took two attempts - on what basis can an insurer justify making my insurance more expensive!?
  3. I suspect that includes a large spares, support and training package. The way these contracts work means, if only buying a few aircraft, the unit cost seems extremely high - that's a reflection of the majority of the cost not being the actual airframes themselves.
  4. Yes, I'm 3D printing one. Progress is slow....
  5. I used to have this issue all the time (I like to CAD my own part supports, like resin pour blocks, and allow the slicer to create supports from the build plate to the parts). Printing large, flat surfaces, oriented in the same plane as the build plate is almost certainly going to result in the part pulling off the supports - try orienting those large flat parts at no less than 10 degrees to the build plate plane, it should print more reliably.
  6. Forget about the F-16s https://www.flightglobal.com/defence/argentina-seeks-basler-bt-67s-for-antarctic-resupply-duties/157903.article Turbo C-47s!
  7. Superbly built and I love the way it's displayed with the gear retracting
  8. Beautiful build of a rather pretty little plane
  9. Phwoar! I'll be honest, I have very little interest in modern fighters, but oh my it suits this scheme - excellent build, I envy your painting skills!
