Thank-you all for the birthday wishes! I’m still around but I’ve recently immersed myself in working on a car model. There’s a whole new world in aftermarket stuff for vehicles! I had to have emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer the beginning of February. I spent two days in ICU after surgery and having gone septic, it was unclear whether I was going to remain on this side of the grass or not. I spent three weeks in hospital, I don’t remember anything of the first week. I was off work for a full two months. I’m still dealing with some residual effects of the surgery these days but overall doing much better. I sold off some of my stash and while going through it I discovered just how many car models I had so I figured it was time to have at ‘er on some of them. That’s why I’ve been a bit scarce here. It’s kind o’ like moving to a new neighborhood and finding there’s so much to explore. In my best Arnold Schwartzenegger voice, “I’ll be back.” Cheers, Wolf

Craig, This has to be one of the most amazing freakin’ builds on the the web right now! WOW! Cheers, Wolf

Fabulous Chuck! Fantastic build. I’m going to have to reference your build when I finally get to mine. So many projects……so little time. Cheers, Wolf

Lookin’ good Bill! Love the detailing and paintwork my friend. Great to see you back at the bench. Some day I’ll find mine again. Cheers, Wolf

Freakin' awesome! Very well done indeed Sir. The very last pic is amazing. Cheers, Wolf

Beautifully done Gary! Great photos too and wonderful paintwork on both plane and figures especially when you consider they're 1/48th scale. Cheers, Wolf

Beautiful Mustang! ……..and done in just the right markings. I love the spiral on the spinner! Cheers, Wolf

Looks great Chuck! It’s all coming together brilliantly if not always easily. This, however, made me laugh: “This view confirms that any spark plugs attached to the rear of both cylinder heads is a waste of time.” Just think of the poor bastards that had to change those plugs for real! Cheers, Wolf

Uber awesome on so many levels Jay! Are you going to bring up the outer surface details to the same level? Cheers, Wolf

Awesome film! Hey, if they're just going to scrap 'em, can I have the Fiesler Storch? I'm pretty sure, with the wings folded and some air taken out o' the tires, I can get 'er into my garage! Did I say "PLEASE"? Cheers, Wolf

Hi Chuck, This wheel and tire combo are post WW II items. Cheers, Wolf

Hi Sophie, Check out Chris Wauchop’s build of the ZM kit. https://chriswauchop.com/2016/12/12/zoukei-mura-132-dornier-do-335-a-0-pfeil/ Cheers, Wolf

Brilliant start Sophie! I have both the ZM and HK kits as well. IIRC the ZM kit has clear fuselage parts. I’ve read that the clear parts are quite brittle so if you’re intending to rivet them with the MDC tool then be very careful. You may wind up with a lot more puzzle pieces. Cheers, Wolf.

Beautifully done Woody! Are you sure you want to permanently glue the canopy closed? Is there no provision to have it slide? It would be a shame to obscure all that beautiful detail. Cheers, Wolf

Perfection Chuck! Beautiful job on the wing roots. Doesn’t get much better ‘n that Chuck. Cheers, Wolf
