I apologize

Hey.... the only dumb question is the one that's never asked ! This is just a phrase, like "Malarky" {don't even know if that's how you spell that

} Sooo, the word "lark" in this context would/could mean a whole manner of things... How this design job/hobby/system/idea etc etc - i think that explains it, i don't think it's just something we here in the UK use in a sentence. Anyways, you got plenty of input relating to your question about the inclusion or exclusion of the swastika, and i think the idea to make this optional is the best way to go IMO, and this way no offence can be made whatsoever. Look forward to the next stage

Thanks you guys. I'm now officially done designing, but I'm having a wee bit of a problem texturing. There aren't any pictures clear enough to use, so that means I have to make custom textures by hand. And that's bad. I am very bad at computer painting and stuff by hand.

Ok, just started making the textures now. There will be pics tomorrow or maybe late tonight. I also decided to change the scale. I was originally shooting for 1/25, but I have decided that that's to small judging by the size of the small parts on my model. I'm gonna make it 1/18. That brings it up to just above a foot long.

Didn't Hitler's car have separate fenders over the rear wheels?

As they say there is no mad rush we have not had a card model of one before so a few days is not going to mind.

I don't mind you not see my design thread on the Citroen traction Avant 11 I got so stuck on that with the google sketchup and got so fed up trying to get it to work in pepruka bbrrr I deleted the file. I can be grumpy a very grumpy bear. then again i may start over again if i can figure out how to get the things to work sometime in the future. I still have my collection of sources so if i change my mind i can start over
