Awesome work and yes, i understand all about the time factor :? When getting near to the finish you start pushing harder just to get it over with….well, i do anyway :-D
Thanks Wil and Dangermouse. Praise from fellow modders is the best.
Paul’s Luftwaffe in standard splinter camo is complete.
Impressive paint job and nice flying formation too. It would be fun to run those pictures through Photoshop to replace the blank table background with an aerial shot of London during the Blitz!

Don’t think my fiance knows much about flying formations, but she did a great job with the pictures.

––When I first saw the wide angle pic of all of the Luftwaffe I had an immediate flashback to the movie “The Battle of Britain” when all of the German a/c overflew Herman Goering on “Eagle Day”. If I remember correctly he said,….
“If we lose now, we ought to have our a**es kicked!”
––Again, great job,…and I completely understand your very important issues at hand. I wish the best of health & happiness to both of you.

Absolutely wonderful pieces Lucas - you’ve breathed some serious life into that plastic!

Thanks V. Much appreciated.
Lucas,
––I just thought of a good idea for both us;
----Since I can tell that completing this German a/c project is adding to the amount of stress your already experiencing with your up-coming wedding and honeymoon plans,…let me suggest this:
----**Please, just take all of these German a/c and put them aside in a box and don’t even look at them for a month! Take care of your important personal business and in a month you can then complete this project.
––I truly think you need to do it this way as it would help BOTH of us. You need some time and sanity(not sure
marriage will necessarily bring this? :roll:) and I need several pics of completed a/c.
----I am more than happy to pay you in full, NOW, and wait another month to get several pics of completed a/c that don’t have the decal “shadow” ruining your fantastic work. Maybe AFTER a wonderful honeymoon your wife will take some more pics of the a/c when they’re fully completed.
Thanks and best wishes on your up-coming wedding.

Thanks for the suggestion Paul; I will take you up on it. However, to be fair to you, I want to tell you that I will need to reconsider how much time I am investing in painting pieces. It just takes a very long time and there are many other things I know that I will have to do, particularly when I get back from the honeymoon and into real-life. Even if I do continue to paint for you, I am almost certain we will not complete all the pieces you intend by HBG’s game conference next May.
Decal shadows are all gone and the aircraft are basically done. I cannot think of anything else I would do to them. Dullcoat has been applied twice and framing has been added to the Ju-54 cockpits.
I will try to take a couple more pictures, but beyond that they are good to go. I would not take payment until I ship them anyway.
I will not be around here much for the next month or so… due to wedding and honeymoon events. Thanks everyone for your well-wishes.
Lucas,
––My friend,…I DO NOT want to hear from you for a month! Please go and take care of your important personal business. I wish you and your soon-to-be wife THE BEST!
––We’ll talk about paint jobs in a month (or so).
Here’s my best wishes to your future happiness.

Haha… I will do my best on that front. Thanks again for the well wishes. I will keep the German aircraft safe at home for the time being.
