An armor guy, who builds airplanes almost exclusively, that he converts to space fighters-- all while admiring ship models.

Love the Senden at the bottom.  Looks like a primitive Sea Vixen.

 ANother wonderful crop of images, Taiidan, thank you! I recognize a fair number of them ( the low nose shot
of the Arc-en-Ciel is especially welcome: I have the Heller kit ) but wonder if you know what the very elegant
radial engined tri-motor , on the tarmac with the film crews in attendance, is?

Love the Ambrosini  :thumbsup:

That bottom picture is so evocative of the 30's, interesting time to live as long as you had the money
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Found this one on the xplanes blog, courtesy of one Eric Chipchase:

"Life isn't divided into genres. It's a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky."-Alan Moore

Wow, seeing all of these wild concepts just reminds me how tame my own ideas are....there is a lifetime of Whiffery in this single thread!   :o
