Donny ,hi ,Yeah I now feel a little embarrassed about posting that comment .I never really thought about abandoning the thread,I guess I was feeling a little sorry for myself suffering with that darn tooth.

I realize that the audience is limited for 1/16th wood and metal models but if someone out there enjoys following along while I complete this project then that is great.

It sounds like your Caproni is coming along well.I like your creative ideas with the crew.It will add a lot of interest and color to the model.WW1 airplanes leave a lot of room for creativity with figures doing interesting things.I was watching a great TV show last nite on the Red Baron and did you know that when he first started flying he flew as observer with a pistol in hand as it was considered below his station in life to fly the airplane.It was only when the guns started firing forward that the aristocity of the day considered flying as socially acceptable.Now there got to be a great diorama in there somewhere !

Glad you liked the ship. Cheers ! John.

Hi Stephen,I may sound ignorant but who is Stuart K. Taylor?

Thank you for your kind comments on this thread,I sure am having fun doing it,it is just that I dont want you guys to think that I am just off on some kind of ego trip posting a lot of stuff of little interest.It is just that I want to give back to a hobby that has given me so much.Nuf said.Wont mention it again. Cheers! John.
