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...

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)

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!

). 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...

Rafael · December 07, 2006, 04:03:59 AM

Cool!!!, i'll wait.

Saludos.

Hell's Bell's Rafa, that is AMAZING!!!!! What a fantastic build and an amzaing backstory as well. Bloody well done sir

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!!!
