anti-stress modeling: doctors orders

[Mossie]

It definately does!  Nice looking little kit, I've managed to resist the urge to pick one up, but I might just add one to the stash seeing this.

Poor ill modeller, you could have simplified your Do 28 into a Do 141, and double medicine (triple with psychiatric?)

[noxioux]

It deserves a better name than "Sky Servant".  Especially if it (hopefully) gets a bunch of guns poking out the side. . .

Nils,

That's one WEIRD looking aircraft, almost a Whiff in its own right! And the Sov Blue panel looks just great on it.

Why DO they use such a strange colour anyway? Is it the same reason all their aircraft wheels are the same dull green?

A RusAF crewman on an An-124 at Fairford once told me the reason they were all that strange green was the paint plant that took the order for the paint got the decimal point in the wrong place and made 1000 times more than they really needed....... 

He said it with a straight face, but I don't know to this day if he was joking or not.

He could well have been joking - Detroit Redwings superstar forward Pavel Datsyuk is famous for his deadpan sense of humour, delivered in garbled english (after an interview "All done?  Five bucks")

OTOH, I've worked with Russians whose deadpan style is utterly, utterly serious and humour is an utterly alien concept- so who knows?

     Enjoy the 3D creativity! 

There is everything right in a mental 'reset' isn't there.    We're here to listen if needs be and are glad to watch what comes of projects too even if we only observe them onscreen.

Been through something similar recently, stopped modelling, all the tears and stuff (the Oh Your God, we're all gonna die!   midlife crisis thing).  Happy pills have robbed me of the tears and creativity for a few weeks, but the good stuff like whiffing's coming back now. I'm going to join a local model club this week as part of my recovery.

Almost bought a Skyservant myself at the weekend. Yours is looking great so far. I think mine would be some sort of African STOL COIN machine.

Anyway, see the doc, model and have a chat with a psych and be with friends. Find things to occupy your mind that you enjoy and work on fixing the things that you might be missing or aren't working anymore. Hang in there and remember, there's no shame in seeking help.

All the best.

You made me dream... thanks!

im back, and this is the first model to be finished in the new house.

i painted it up in my own version of belgian woodland camo. it includes NATO olive, brown, blck and a lighter shade of green.
decals are custom made.

Real World fact: the Do-28 was actually in the running in the competition to provide the Belgian Army Aviation with a replacement for the Do-27. the Do-28 came in second, unfortunatly the BN-2A Islander was selected.

Great looking build Nils, that camo is ACE!     

[sotoolslinger]

That is one cool looking AC right there

[lenny100]

looks good with a diverant cammo look to the run of the mile woodland

[Mossie]

Very nice camo Nils, looks like the therapy worked a treat!  Maybe stick a door gunner in & enter it in the COIN/Trainers with Teeth GB?

[sideshowbob9]

Love the camo 

[ChernayaAkula]

Neat camo! Looks a bit like a leopard.
