I'm impressed with your building and painting skills. You add a another brightly colored feather to this whif cap we all wear. B)

Very generous of you Eddie. Thanks a bunch. But i don't think my models would pass a close scrutiny an the pics tend to mask the errors we make on the models. And everything pretty you see is a by-product of the lucky-paintbrush-stroke-day syndrome. What i cannot deny is the HUGE amount of fun whiffing and whiffers mean to me!!! Thank U.

Rafa,

Quite an interesting model you have come up with!  

When are we going to see one of your He 162 whiffs?

Good Idea. I have two 1/72ers old, very old. Lost their canopies and i substituted for Cardboard (Cardboard, Yum!!!) canopies. Now i'm sure i'm the only modeler in the worl with bubble canopied 162's.

I have used your Bubble-162 idea and Yak-480 layout for drawings at http://www.whatifmodelers.com/forum//index...80&#entry182910
Thanks for your imagination, amigo!

Do we have a ringer here? This guy didn't walk through the door he blew 'em off with an 88. That's an incredible use of imagination and bits, love the paint scheme. And you write better stories in English than this Englishmen.
One suggestion though, get a tripod and your pictures will come out better.

Hola Leigh. Man, you made me blush!!. Hey, i was out of the modeling thing for a lot of years, and this forum and you guys brought me back. I've been to your site just before posting this message, and your work is maravilloso. But the thing that really caught me was your introduction to your site. I know a lot of modelers here, world-class types, superdetailers, accurizers like you wouldn't believe, and your regular JMN (funny and accurate term). I agree with you when you talk about being frightened by this types of even thinking in assembling a model, and the result: a modeling community where nobody knows anybody, and loss of talents, and, more gravelly loss of fun, because that's the ultimate goal in every build. I'm not scared of building anymore because of you all whiffers, who take this whif stuff with a joyousness that sticks to one's skin and makes you think modeling all day long (i even skipped 2 subway stations for that one day), and can't wait to come home to wife and models and write down every carzy idea your tired mind produces. That's the nature of what i do, and i'm sure, more or less the rest of the whifer's. I'm new here and i've come to admire and respect you very much, and i'm sure whifers are up there with the best of the lot.

Muchísimas gracias, Leigh.

Rafa.

Well that's where it starts, but when the honeymoon's over, your wallet is empty, every available storage space in the house is occupied by kits, the wife is complaining that "you care more about those online guys and that bloody Spitfire than me", then you start double boxing kits and sneaking them in the house like a criminal, getting speeding tickets trying to be the first one home on the day you know that parcel's gonna arrive from Ebay, you find you've only got $20 left and it's a choice between that vintage Matchbox Saab Tunnan or a bottle of Champagne for your anniversary, you pray the wife doesn't notice that it's grape juice and Tamiya thinners........................... but I digress, yeah it is fun round here innit?
