Thought some people might get a kick out of this. Not sure if it's been posted before on the forums.

Went to my local monthly model club meeting today. A fellow modeling friend was browsing the book rack in the hobby store and found the following:


So as I'm browsing through the book, I instantly had to have it.........which also made my friend jealous cause there wasn't another copy in the rack.  ;D  I've only briefly looked at the book so far, but I can tell you that a lot of "creative liberty" was taken in regards to writing the book. So it will be hard to discern real facts from fiction. But nevertheless, this book makes for great what if reading. And it would be a great compliment to this model kit here:

Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Have you seen "Iron Sky"?   :thumbsup:

Yes, and No. Only maybe the first 30 minutes or so, then I gave up. It was so outlandishly stupid and cheesy.

Which was half its charm, for me. ;D
