Fort Worth last year: the Airman’s Memorial

i take it that is etched glass , but how is it done ?? and what is the layout ??

an absolutely stunning memmorial , photographed superbly !!

seem to recognise the dog , is it Trigger?:confused:

not a clue !! he was a well behaved mutt though ! looked a very faithful hound !!

gary numans ex harvard still looks good !!

I’m almost certain that it could.

pretty sure the engines were independant isn’t the telegraph merely a visual signal to the engine room workers

an out of the ordinary request was sureley spoken

although if no telephone it would have been too slow to send a runner

but it would be almost a certanty they could be run independently in opposite directions !!

I wasn’t complaing…just making a comment.
I agree, if you want it done right, hire a pro.

That’s why one of my old cars is in a restoration shop right now and not my garage.

oh no there goes another can of worms !!:diablo:

you didn’t give an open cheque did you ???:eek:

used to restore classics , learned techniques working in engineering , and restoring opel monza 3.0 gse’s at my friends garage

a task akin to the forth bridge !!

Also forgot to say, how refreshing that this programme gave equal billing and respect to the Luftwaffe crews, the memorial shown to the four unknown airmen was beautifully simple.

and a sobering comment from a local

” it didn’t matter what nationality they were , young people had died !!”

vey toutching !!

Appearently professional model builders get good money.

I asked a friend who runs a modeler’s website for some information about an old, rare kit I wanted built. Rather, I’d like to have painted, the building is very elemental…but the painting is the key.

He said it would be about $1000. Wow.

exactly they do what others can’t i’m gradualy getting used to an airbrush ( using and using well is a vastly huge difrence ) wich only comes from many years practice .

you can spend more money buying it all yourself making a piece of c***p you wouldn’t display in your toilet

then have to pay for the proper item on top !!

most who see do not apreciate the hours and skill in model building to that standard

if you think that is dear keep an eye on good quality ww2 german armour dioramas

i have seen some sell on fleabay for upwards of £1000,00

I consider myself as a modeller of average ability, and it still isn’t worth it! :diablo:

Very impressive model though…

considder it this way then !1 a non modeller , but with good diy abilitys wants to buy and make to that level of finnish

kit £60.00

airbrush and compressor £200.00

paints £30.00

sundries ,tools etc
from scratch £70.00

time and electricity
if costed to customer £100.00

be honnest , do you go to work for free ??? no !! well why should others !!

i’m unsure if it is available commercialy in that scale apart from a kit

if not it is a one off custom built item being offered

you do not pay the same price for a mini as a bespoke carriage built vehicle
