I wish I would have talked to her first, I'd ask her to say yes conditionally, and there will be no wedding until the Sea Kings are finally done ! lol Congrats Nils ! Glad to hear she said yes, and that the nerves are finally gone. Well, until the big day that is  :thumbsup:

Blog Entry #169

first off, i want to thank everyone for the best wishes, both sides of the family have been overly positive about our engagement  :thumbsup:

now, back to models  :mellow:

progress on the Sea Kings is going slow but good, the first one already has its first decals on and recieved a coat of sealant.
ive also been looking into starting some other projects soon, including various 1/144 Super Hornets, F-16's and F-15's.
im also gonna look into continueing on the Mig-21 this weekend.

ive also been researching on more projects in 1/72 scale, including a strike version of the Mig-1.44.

sorry for the short blog entry, there just hasnt been much building going on lately.


more soon....

work on the Sea Kings is progressing slowly, should be done soon  :mellow:
i also started work on 4 1/144 Super Hornets (1 twin- and 3 singe seaters) including a single seat growler  ;D

next in line in 1/144 is a couple of F-16, including an EF-16C electronic warfare aircraft, as a replacement for the EF-111A.
i also have a couple of Russian Air Force fighters coming soon aswell in both 1/72 and 1/144.

time has been limited lately due to more pressing matters. i had a few job interviews this week, just got back from one in Brugges that went prtetty well.
tomorrow morning i have another interview. after that, me and the missus are going to the seaside for a day.


more soon...

Great new Nils, well done.  :thumbsup:

I guess that's a slightly larger drill than a few millimetres though?  ;D
