What sort of whiffer are you?

>One note about terminology, Marineflieger is a post-war Bundesluftwaffe designation.
During the KM period the aviation elements were the Seefliegerkräfte.<

I thought I saw "Seeluftstreitkrafte" (or something similar) somewhere in German literature regarding the "fleet air arm" of wartime Germany.

An Addendum to my entry:

I have also come to realise that I have a great like for Aircraft Carrier related whiffs - in fact I am already working up the basis for a whole set of Alternate Kriegsmarine Marineflieger aircraft.

Yep & the databook

Have you read "Tragerflotten"?

I'm kind of "Whiffer" very common, that is a complete organizational disaster rather poorly organized and very dirty in my desk which requires great efforts to clean every few days, but I'm a dreamer, a dreamer aeronautics, dream I see in my mind and placed each aircraft at the time I do on my table. I do it for fun and nothing else for it. But my friends told me it was all crazy, I came to this forum to share what makes me happy with people who understand me, and dream like me. Do not stop ever dream, and will remain so this hobby fun and cheerful. My first plane "Whatif" was a cubist work, to be smooth. But I have the motor inside, which gives me the fact, to identify with what I do.
  Otherwise, I am a parent concerned about the issues of today, money and business and anyone who sees what is happening and has a hard time making ends month with pennies in his pocket. So I need this hobby, and so need it to be fun, happy and special.
Ah! humility and sometimes I leave aside, but I always remember an accident I'm just a bumbling apprentice rushes autodidact.

My only real constant is a perverse desire to turn all sorts of things into flying boats, but if that won't go for whatever reason or other then it's just an exercise in wracking my twisted brain and draining the results. Anything from the mundane, to the slightly plausible, to the 'what the heck were you smoking?!' variety.

You all know I'm primarily a ship builder, some based on what could have happened based on real history, others veering off into the "I've got this model and these parts, I'll put them together, and make up a story to fit".
I have done some flying things, mostly naval-based, and Weaver's Patchwork World combined with some found resources from my youth have recently caused me to dabble in armour. (I have to finish those and get them posted!)

I have to say, though, my vision is making it harder to build in 1/700  , so I'm probably going to finish the stuff in progress - about 3-6 ships depending on my mood - and then stop using photo-etch and other such super-detail on the teeny ships. I have a few 1/350 and larger which will get the museum-quality treatment, but I'm not going to strain myself much longer, since it's taking the fun out of the hobby. My present build is a 1/700 BB-62 in 1983, and it's taking forever and getting to be frustrating looking at all the remaining little bits of metal and plastic. It'll be really detailed, but the fun is fading, and
Fortunately, this means I'm likely to do more whiffery in 1/700, albeit rather less detailed than some of my earlier creations.  Build those only for fun and just a few for display.
