Well I think I'm also becoming an Horten freak... these are really superb aircrafts!
when aerodynamic meet art...
Just look at these planes : basically a wing (I know, a flying wing! ^_^ ) with small holes and bumps for the engines, and a  bubble for the canopy... that's all!! Simplicity and beauty!  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Thanks Archibald!

The Hortens are for sure the best looking jets ever!

QuoteThanks Brian and Jeff!

Those radar antenna spoil the sleek lines of the Horten but it does add a bit of interest to the airplane.

The antennae are starting to grow on me. The way they stick out the nose makes them look like feeding appendages for some flying alien creature B)

I'll just repeat what I've said before, I bow down to the Master, stunning as usual, thank you.

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid

Thanks gooberliberation and Leigh!

Leigh,
Your comments are very kind and right now I need all the positive comments I can get, there are two people at my job who are trying to get me fired and I am powerless to stop the backstabbing so I don't know what will happen in the next week(s) but I do know I am so stressed out now that I don't even feel up to doing any model building. :(

I do not know, but when I was in similar situation an old and wise boss I had told me: 'If you decide "in hot" -I do not know the English equivalent but I think you can understand me- someone is deciding for you.'

So, cold head and continue with your tasks and duties because nobody wants  to make your job.

BTW
Your models and pics are as usual perfect.  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

I believe the expression is "in the heat of the moment".  In any case, your meaning came through quite clearly despite any linguistic traps.

ysi_maniac,

Thanks for the support, I need it.

My boss is female and the two people that are trying to get me fired are female, not a good situation for me. :(

I don't know what to do except do my job the best I can and hope things will get better. The two old snags that are giving me trouble are unhappy women and why they do what they do I have no idea. I have no ill will towards them.
