Well I'm finally published - I have an article in the September SAMI - it's not a whif article but as it is about German radars as least it's not the usual sort of article they do. Please let me know what you think. I submitted the article way back in February so it's nice to see it in print.

Ahh, that was yours was it? Cannot believe you did all that EB - I nearly went blind last night with just 2 hours handling a pre-painted fret!

Ah you're the culprit

I enjoyed the article, out of the ordinary and interesting

Thanks everyone,

I don't think I did any session that lasted 2 hours - these kits taught me patience - any time I started to lose it I just walked away - when it's so expensive and fiddly you just do what you can do easily then go away. Also there is nearly ten years between the two kits.
I must admit that sometimes I did multiple sessions in a day but no session was much more than an hour.The funny thing was when I finished the Wurzberg before painting my wife loved it and was dissapointed that I was going to paint it grey and not leave it in the lovely shiny brass

Regards

Congratulations on the article, and forgive my ignorance, but what is SAMI? and is it available in the states?

SAMI = Scale Aircraft Modelling International - it's very much available in the states, I've found it in both Barnes & Noble as well as Borders; heck, in Wichita, KS, it was even in the supermarkets (well, Dillon's supermarkets, anyway).

Congrats on being a published author!!

SAMI is great. My LHS used to rip off the covers on the older (a few months) mags and give them away, now they keep the covers on and charge a whole dollar for an excellent publication. If i didnt get it so cheap at the LHS i would subscribe in a heartbeat the only other mag i subscribe to is Finescale Modeler, and would be perfectly content with just those two forever.
