Aaah, Stroh Rum you prefer; the ultimate revenge of the Austrian Navy! I will roll over a barrel, of course, but be advised these are not allowed on Zeppelins or most other vehiclesbe them air-, sea-, or roadbound, due to not only t's alcohol content but also because of their it's high flammability. As well, if you had some of this in one of it's stronger incarnations (it is sold with up to 80%), one poor and innocent Hilfsmaschinist could easily etch a hole in the ground of the gondola or the hull, if he can't hold it any longer. It is said, that in a rather mounty region of Austria there once was a prison or K.u.K. Gefangenenkompanie near the small village of Lupitsch, not to far from the infamous Toplitzsee. There the residents had a drink which is now famous under the name of "Luppitscher", which is in it's very essence tea where you replace the water with Rum. Think of Stroh 80% and it is clear that you didn't need any fences there. Prost from Vienna! CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a member of the expert group in the ongoing study, I can confirm that. So far we came to a point after excessive testing that, considering all opposing opinions alike, Stroh Rum slightly tastes better in some application scenarios. One use case we could agree on a larger scale is, that Stroh Rum has a slightly better finish than Russian Gas when used in "Jagatee" ("Hunters Tea"), which is considered by some to be the local equivalent of the Pangalactic Gargleblaster. But no definite outcome or decision so far. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Sorry to interrupt yet again but there is more progress to report. The R and U Class models just need a few minor touch ups before the hairy stick detail painting can begin. I might give the R Class ship an overall blow over with MRP Clear Doped Linen Variant 1 later today just to blend everything together a bit more. These two are actually not that far off completion at which stage I can look forward to building another R Class to represent L.33. I might also allow myself the luxury of a quick shake and bake kit just to add a bit of variety to my modelling life. All Zeppelins can Make Martian a dull, err, Martian. Alternatively, i have had a hankering to build the old Airfix Messerschmitt ME-163 Komet for a while and with space on the bench at a premium, this might be what gets done. Fret ye not good Earthlings, there will be no letup in the production of Zeppelins. Thanks for looking and I return you to Bedlam.

On a random and semi related theme, did you know that if you ask most people to not think of Polar bears they then find it impossible not to imagine a white bear.

Marklo Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) I also love the fact that Arctic translates as Bears and Antarctic no Bears. Which leads me to what is apparently the funniest joke in the world. A man makes a 999 (911) call, ‘ we’re out in the woods hunting bears and my friend has had an accident and I think he’s stopped breathing’. To which the emergency person replies ‘ can you make sure that your friend isn’t breathing’. Theres the sound of a scuffle followed by a gunshot…. The hunter comes back on the line, “right he’s definitely not breathing, what do I do next??” Ok now I’m just rambling.
