HansReggelsen Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) This project started out as something totally different and took on a life of it's own! This doesn't happen often to me, so it was a pleasant surprise and made for a fun journey. A bit of a backstory: Bernhard Manfred Waßertropfen - also known as Opa (Grandad) was seaking a way to fullfill his childhood dream - to travel the skies - free like a bird. He therefore took a long look at his old trusty 1904 Mercedes and decided there and then to transform it into a Aerocar. After a long time of tinkering and many trials and errors - he finally succeded and could take to the skies - up where he so long had dreamed of being. We see him here on his first travel, where he - together with his good old companion - his dog Freßsack - is flying over the Bavarian lake Eibsee waving an Edelweiss in his hand.

keefr22 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 That's not something you see every day, nice work! I do hope the dog has good balance, he looks very precarious up there! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 That is a lovely little vignet Hans, I've just read through your WIP & I'm most impressed with your treatment of Opa, he looks like a thoroughly cheerful type, as well he should seeing the spread you've laid on for him.
