Hi to all 
I'm still alive and modelling, but a 15day+ delay due to my pc having outlook problems, kept me out of the online world.........mind you the problem with my pc is still there, so tomorrow I'm changing to a new technician who hopefully won't take as long to see to my problem........also on Saturday I'm changing to a new IP ...........
Anyway, my grumbling aside, here's Mike Good's WWI vignette of a German pilot + ground crew..........I had the pleasure of seeing this vignette on my first EuroMilitaire visit way back in 1996, and like so many others spent hours just gazing and gazing at these tiny but huge duo!! I had since dreamt of painting them, so asa I got home then, I persuaded my next brother who is an aircraft modeller, to set up a tandem project, where he'll do an aircraft, and I will paint these gems..........however, since he did not have a "decent" whole aircraft, (he was against a wedgie since day 1) they just sat on my bench shelves, waiting for their time to come.............
When I got home from Girona, I called him and told him that aircraft or no aircraft, I was going to paint the vignette for Euro, and then would remove them to affix with a decent aircraft maybe in the next life!!! Thanks God, he saw the light and bit the bait a tail wedgie is in the making, while I had the pleasure of painting two well sculpted and well BALANCED 1:48th scale figures (well it shows the talent of the sculptor, not that anyone has any doubt) and the pics I took prior to pin insertions, were done on purpose as I just could not stop ranting about this feat (the balance) asa I cut them off of their locating lug with a side cutter.........lo and behold they could STAND on their feet without toppling I know that Mike recieved so many praise before, but I just have to say BRAVO again, if he don't mind me saying that to him
Asa my brother finishes up his portion of the project, I will post pics with the finished setting..........in the meantime, please admire Mike Good's sculpting skills and don't be too harsh on my paint splashing
