  1. Very excited to see this, Steve! My cockpit, tailplanes and that glorious torpedo are on their way now! Research mtl. continues to arrive and the kit itself showed up yesterday! Cheers from NYC, Michael
  2. Really, really beautiful work, Prze. And the excellence is not being diminished by the speed of the build. Bravo. "some fiction is allowed..."....yes this is a valuable concept! LOL! Cheers from NYC, Michael
  3. So glad I caught up with this, Prze. Gorgeous!!! You remain my hero! Cheers from NYC Michael
  4. My dad was in the Navy in the 30s and he said the mantra was, "If it moves, salute it! If it doesn't move, paint it!!". Or, I guess in this case, POLISH it!. Gorgeous airplane!
  5. Oui, Oui!! More of those French Between-the-Wars planes, sil vous plait!!!!! Some of the most beautiful, and sexiest planes ever created!! Cheers from NYC, Michael
  6. Just catching up here, Andy. I'm trying to get three articles done (AEG, Alb. B.II and a Zero) plus be the one man of a one-man-business.....and am strrrrretched, to say the least....but kinda loving all the work. Man, this is looking marvelous. Bravo! Very exciting to see what has been accomplished and looking forward to the rest! Cheers from NYC, Michael
  7. A sincerely gorgeous build of a sincerely gorgeous airplane! Congrats! You inspired me to order one! Cheers from NYC, Michael
  8. Sorry to be arriving late to the party! Congratulations on another great build, Karim! You are an inspiration my friend!! Cheers from NYC, Michael
  9. When I first saw the pix of the kit I also thought it was just plane ugly. But, once my kit arrived and I had a look at the parts in three dimensions, it began to grow on me. At the risk of sounding blasphemous, I think it's kinda.....cute. And it's sure different. Great build, Dr. Dave! Congrats! Cheers from NYC, Michael
  10. Indeed, a great start! Nice to see some real wood involved. Will you vac-form over the wooden form? Cheers from NYC, Michael
  11. OK...jumping back in here! So sorry to have been mute up til now, Gaz. Man, you are kicking butt! Personally, I love what you are doing with these wings! Too many people make far too big a deal out of trying to highlight the ribs. It has turned into a fad just like over doing panel lines on metal airplanes has. I think the level of subtlety you have achieved is totally realistic. Bravo. If I may, allow me to add one note of advanced warning re: the WnW Albatros kits: the struts are beautifully in scale, but, as a result, really, really weak. They will sag if you over-tighten the rigging at all. Ask me how I know. Cheers from NYC, MIchael
  12. "I was wondering where you got off to,.. Gaz" Well, boys, it sure is nice to be missed! Thank you....you make me feel one of the group. Lots going on here Chez Scarborough. Hopefully it will slow down a bit and I will be more present. Cheers from NYC, Michael
  13. David, this is as high a compliment as I can imagine receiving. Thank you, sir! Actually, I am lucky enough to live a just a few miles from the Met and spend at least two days a month there. When I left 25 years in performing arts and moved into the present madness of decorative and fine art, it was in large part due to the influence those visits had had on me. Here's what I do now: http://michaelscarboroughdesign.com/ Cheers from NYC, Michael
