A fugitive from Zealot - is this welcome here?

Hey.

I'm "Wily" from Zealot.

Back there, I'd post my WW2 blog updates and a few of them didn't seem to mind.

I'm a cardmodeler...but the blog updates have nothing to do with cardmodeling. I just posted them here because I figured you all were wingnuts like me.

Tell me now if this is unwelcome and...I won't. do. it. again.

I can't speak for the others, but if "wingnut" in this context refers to a passion for airplanes and aviation history rather than political ideology, then I for one am glad to have you lead us to this kind of work.

I would think that it would easily fit into the "other things we make and do" category, especially as the kind of images and information you provide add to our knowledge of the aircraft we model.

Of course, I am one of the worst offenders in terms of weighing in on build threads with non-modelling historical background information, but I trust that Dan and co will provide an authoritative view.

Don -

Well...thank you for your tacit welcome.

However, I'm not here to raise hackles or ire. But, I am very much aware that my experiences are novel and enjoy sharing them with others.

Regardless, I'll follow the wishes of the admin and post my modeling stuff too.

Thank you.

<S>

PS - Yes, wingnut is aviation related. I'm apolitical.

I can't see why that would raise any hackles, it's very interesting!

I suppose I fit the wingnut moniker in 2 ways then - as it's also used as a nickname for rabid Detroit Red Wings fans - and I fit that category in addition to the WW2 airplane fanatic one
I had ran across your blog previously but I admit I didn't save it as a favorite and follow every update yet. Now that you are posting here, I will try and be more diligent about keeping up with it as I also find it very interesting (and certainly have no issues with you posting about updates).

Wily, I remember you from there and am delighted to see you over here. The stories and drawings you post are fascinating. Many of the men who fought in WW2 are passing on every day and anything that can be done to document their actions and memories before they are lost is welcome in my book. Not that anyone reads my book......

Thank you for the welcome! It has made my night, actually.

Right now, I'm doing the Me(Bf)-109G6/R6 as flown by Kyossi Karhila of the Finnish Air Force. Karhila is aware...and I hope to get a proof to him within a few weeks.

Are there any Finnish 109G6/R6 cardmodel kits available?

I love your artwork.

I would like to afford prints to put on my wall.

As for Zealot, it seems they only know how to make money and be rude if anyone questions their policy.

To give you an idea about how ignorant the admins are about our hobby, they are running a month long contest to build models (anything plastic to paper) and the prizes are 2 old plastic AMT ERTL model kits.

Just lame.
