Very nice, and lot of fun with this phrase

QuoteHellish work, would have taken pictures, but i was screaming at the little devil to submit to my orders, until it did, or simply tired of breaking my b___s.

You're screaming, too ? I tend, to, eeerhm (sorry for catholics and others) blaspheme, and don't ask me why my brain  :dum: decided one day that God was responsible for pieces of my models not glueing togethers...  :unsure:  :wacko:  :angry:

Well, the way you build this P.1214 remind e how I build my MBB Lampyridae stealth german fighter (I have to check the link)


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.

Rafael

I saw it, Archi, and it amazed me. What i really want to see is your bubble canopied F117.

Eeerrhm it is stalled because of a lack of paint (don't forget that I live in the middle of nowhere! :lol: ). Hmm I started painted it green and grey, but the result looks bad (not the good tone) so I have to try again. Next week maybe...

Hell's Bell's Rafa, that is AMAZING!!!!! What a fantastic build and an amzaing backstory as well. Bloody well done sir
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

Rafael

Thanks a lot Lancer, it is a pleasure to share this with you!!!

And the thing that has always amazed me is the mistery surrounding some modelers's techniques. Some guys don't share their knowledge, i don't know why, because this is no state secret, but a means to unite people the world over, just like you and me, pal.

And i feel at "home, whif home" every time anyone presents his/her works and show their marvelous air/sea/land contraptions. Fun as Funny, and educating as well.

Muy agradecido, compadre!!!
