It would be nice to see a fleet of these together... I'm really enjoying the variations on the three examples in this string.  I've got one down for my birthday list.

Lastly, yours is looking awesome, Nick!  I'm a little disappointed that you chose to go with a factory new finish, but you can't have everything...  Grin  How are you coming on the "Yes" island - I've really been wanting to see where you were taking that part of the project as well.  That art work ate up a lot of my day dreaming hours as a kid...

Looks great, Nick!

Where do they get 80k people who are interested in viewing quality models??



  Dortmund in Germany has a potential catchment of 250 million people ( or however many people live in Europe ) and they all move around pretty freely . There will be Germans (obviously) , French , Dutch , Belgian, Spanish , Scandanavian , Russian , British etc. etc. attending . I have not been to the show before , but I have been told that there are seven large halls devoted to all things modelling . These include military ,fantasy , railway , remote control models (which have their own hall in which to fly their planes and sail their boats) and anything else that I have forgotten .
  80,000 people through the door is the figure for a poor year , in a good years the figure is nearer 120,000 !

  Everything I have said is what I have been told , so whether it is accurate I can only confirm after the show . No doubt someone will take their Box Brownie with them and will post some photos here later .

Your model turned out more satisfactory than somewhat. Maybe one of the 80,000 visitors to the show will notice. -- Russ

Love it Nick!
I really need to get the Hornethropter out!
May be after I finish what i have on the bench?
One of those welder girls, or two would look good with it!
Nice to see pictures of your modeling again!

Yikes... that's a lot of people. And I only have 3 Remora left in stock as of this morning. Not planning another batch for another 4-5 months to focus on getting other releases produced.  Lips sealed

     Well, if anyone wants one enough they will have to be prepared to wait .   So you're saying you wouldn't be able to cope with a sudden influx of an order for 1000 units ?!

1000 units... that might be a tad hard to accomplish in a short time frame. I'd certainly be up to the task though!

Marc: scalper!

Nick: I posted a thread in the general forum about the upcoming deckhand figures for the Remora (or anything). They turned out great!
