Rick Griewski Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 My favorite build was the flying pancake build using a paper model as the drawing template. It was later to be the inspiration for my Marder III build using the same technique. LSP_Kevin and dutik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he finished the model, Russ sent me a full printed set of the drawings he used, which I still have.

Out2gtcha Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He was a unique and exemplary modeler. I've never seen anyone build so many unusual, complex and outstanding models at the pace Russ did. It was quite a thing. Archimedes, dutik and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europapete Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Yep, going to get the boat ready for summer as soon as it warms up a few and stops chucking it down. Couple or 3 weeks should do it.
