Not at all.  Just thought I'd add it to the inspiration :)

That one with the Panzer II, the pics don't really show it, but the builder did a tremendous job of recreating that special look a stream has when its flowing through snowy ground, how it somehow seems faster and clearer, and melting all the snow by the waters edge, y'know?

The last one particularly makes me shiver!  Brrrr!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

IF anyone needs it, I've got a pic from the 2009 Sikorsky calendar that has a good shot of a ski-equipped Alaska Guard UH-60.

You guys have me inspired! I'm lucky enough to have a pair or two of skis in the spares box so I can play along. I already used a pair from a Ford Trimotor on this:

Doesn't that make the bug look different --- anyone know why it was painted like that ?
