Ahoy Isaac
Thanks buddy for sharing the pictures of yesterdays event I had a knee slapper of a time. I got flogged with the cat of nine tails after spending around $500.00 on kits I haven't seen since boyhood. A great collection to add to my ever vast stash pile. It is great to see you again and to meet your wife your I had a marvelous timer I will never forget. Thanks Isaac for the pix and getting together what a wonderful time. You the Man buddy.

Indeed, congratulations to both of you! Thank you for sharing your inspiring work and showing the "other" modelers/jury that paper modeling is a great hobby with endless possibilities. Today's paper models are extremely accurate and guarantee lots of pleasant hours of work. Plastic's been beaten!

And so nice to see a Thunderflash in the Dutch airforce livery. Is this the Hobby model?

Best regards,
Erik

Thank you, just had a quick look over coffee and will continue when having more time. Some years ago I started the Hobby Model Lockheed Neptune (Royal Dutch Navy). For some reason the project stalled around part 25 and it's still patiently waiting to be finished one day. I'm pretty sure many modelers have the same problem. Once the momentum of a build has stopped due to whatever reason it's hard to get back on track again and the temptation to start something new is hard to withstand. And what do you get: Cabinets full of half-build models that probably will never see completion, or catching dust on bookshelves. Luckily it's not an expensive hobby, it only consumes space in the house. Ok, so much for reflection on an early morning. Back to work!

I used to do it in plastic, but never in paper. I only stopped paper builds when the model was just wrong looking. Example was the WHV models of the Heinkel 111, or Junkers 88. I then just threw them in the trash.

Regarding your dilemma with the Neptune, I think it can be restarted. I have seen others complete it with good results.

Good luck

Isaac.

They all looked outstanding. Tough calls, in my view.

Good to see another IPMS club having paper models on their contest tables.

More and more paper, little by little.

Kudos to both of you!!
