Me too , never grow tired of reading them , he had such a big influence on my ENJOYMENT of the hobby RIP Mike

Very sad to hear this news, when i returned seriously to aircraft modelling and began reading SAM i found his tailpiece writings an absolute joy and used to eagerly look forward to each month's edition ,i also came to rely on his new kit reviews as well as they were never wrong !, he really helped make that magazine what it was , i do hope they have a good 'prototype' and 'what if' library where ever he is ! Rest In Peace Mike

Looking great !

Im onboard for this build !

Ok my dear Von My family story about Zeppelins or Zepps as my Grandmother called them goes back to the bombing of London in WW1, they lived in Leyton and my nanna told me she was at one of the upstairs bedroom window's one night looking for what was causing all the noise when her father came in , now he was a senior guardsman in the GWR a staunch member of the Masonic lodge , they watched as a Zepp got caught in the searchlight and guns opened up on it then a fighter or fighters attacked it and set it on fire , she said she then looked on horrified as the crew jumped out to their deaths as they were on fire, she said she was equally horrified at her fathers reaction, in his ribald language which went something like ''Burn you sweethearts burn'' , she had never heard him swear ever before in her 17 years or seen him so angry , i have a small postcard of a Zeppelin caught in searchlights which i will find and post here when i can, but i reckon the people of London were pretty angry if this is any indication Well thats my story ! Cheers from tropical downunder on planet earth

Looking good so far !

Dear Von Liking your manipulations and triangulations regarding expert rigging gyrations via exploratory drilling n boring thus far Cheers ( I also have a handed down story from my maternal grandmother (who got me into modelling bless her) and a postcard ! let me know my communicating in anyway you want if you'd like to hear it )

1/48 Swift and 1/48 Scimitar

Another excellent creation and another that made my judging day when i was confronted with it !!!

Excellent Build and as i co - judged it in Townsville i can say the pics do not do it justice !

Excellent !

Great Build mate can't wait to see it !!

Hand Grenade didn't reach here thank goodness im informed by Qantas Flight QF69 it exploded over a French Submarine base causing considerable damage to their coffee machine , and has added to our Prime Marketers ( aka Prime Ministers ) woes in regards to jilting the French over a Sub deal, more as it comes to hand ( or tentacle)

Hand grenade .....incoming............''Three pages and not so much as a thumbnail pic of the kit under construction''

Well done and congratulations on your 2000th post ! and on the build which somehow seems almost irrelevant to the great story telling by all !!!

Lovely job !

1/48 Supermarine Swift family is needed as is a 1/48 Scimitar and 1/48 Fairey Gannet family

Coming along wonderfully !!

Oh very well done !!! love the different slant you've given it i was holding off getting that kit but you have inspired me to get one and complete one in a scheme ive been contemplating Thanks !!
