About a year ago I accidentaly hit
the site of a Dutch artist here on board. At that time I just finished the drawing on my pc of a Spitfire and intended to start plotting and building when I saw one of his paintings and thought this Westland Whirlwind to be a Mosquito. Whatever I thought is less important than the fact that I fell in love with the beautifuly painted scenery as with the plane as well.
The Spit is still pending, due to the pictures below:
Serge Stone's Whirlwind
and 1/50 mine
Oh, sorry forgot to introduce myself.
O.k., I'm a retired surveyor (6 years already...). Being 11 years old I joined modeling club Aeria in the North of Holland where we flew our 'free flights' at the airbase over there, gazing at the Meteors a.s.o.
About 15 years ago I crashed my last R/C glider, noticed something rotten with my eyes and sold all the stuff. Few years later I felt the modeling fever returning and drew my first paper DC3 1/50. Gave it away to a well-known Dutch paper-model merchant who disappeared in the dark.
My Connie was promoted to a toy all of a sudden a died instantly.
But... I keep on
drawing, cutting and glueing.
Like all of you.
C.U. :-)
