I agree with Peter about Gremlins... one still has yet to bring back my prop for the 1/48 Tamiya F4F that went AWOL a little over a year ago... 🙁
I started laughing when I heard you mention the Darwin Award. The picture says it all. You missed your true calling my friend, and should consider stand up comedy as a source of extra income when you eventually decide to retire.
Sorry to hear about Franz. Maybe those Gremlins grabbed him too, since they need a pilot for their mix and match "Flight of the Phoenix" plane that they are assembling from our missing parts.
That is a good idea from David Mills, to have your sons move the "Big E". Like Robert, I have been wondering how she fared during the move... and please tell "Lou the Dolphin" I said hello. 🙂
It's great to see you back at the bench, and the prop is looking good ! Franz would be proud. (wherever he is) Hope you find him soon.
Lastly, "Yellow 2" looks fantastic ! It's really starting to "pop"... the mottling and the decals really make a huge difference, and sort of make it whole. Well done !
I'm looking forward to your next installment.
