Here it is, our final session of Modeling Poetry 301:

Answer to the Pop Quiz: What is the Poetry of Modeling? *It is the expression of the modeler's desire to recreate an image. *An image that will allow the modeler and the viewer to step into the cockpit or open the engine compartment or soar in the clouds with their minds eye.

FINAL EXAM - You are expected,warranted and commissioned to build the modeling lair of your dreams. *When completed you will photograph and post your images here. *If anything about my desk inspires you, its skeletal construction, its length its height, its shelving, I mean anything feel free to use and embelish to your hearts contentment.

I plan 2 more excursions into the arena of 'modeling academia.' *They are: Model Construction 102 and Modeler's Health 401. Due to the upcoming seasonal increase in modeling activity for the Northern Hemisphere of terra firma these classes will be opened for enrollment at the request of you the class. *Sign up or holler when your ready. *

Now I'm off to finish an Eduard Nieuport XI as a Maachi built example with my artwork bmp. for the turn of the century characiture 'Fortunello' (The Italian moniqer for 'Happy Hooligan') a sort of great grandfather of Homer Simpson. *They even look alike.

Thanks to some instruction from DPC models, I'll take my artwork to the local Kinkos and toss in a 'Laser Safe' sheet of clear decal film and wah-lah! *Next the Münchin Kindl!

Modeller's Health 401,

Is that like hey, the right and wrong way to sniff glue, that mustard stuff really s..ks :'(

Or like how to get your fingers apart after using super glue. Or determining how much you love your model when you have to decide between cutting off you finger or the end of a wing ??? ???

Extra credit question:

Whats the difference between

MvR's Albatros D.V of 6 Juli 1917 and D.4693/17 and where on the 'drome can you find this?

Nice to see you back in models. Nice to have models back.

Glad to be back. *Since the 2003 IPMS Nats are done, I thought a refresher might be nice. I have added an image of the Nieu. XI I mentioned here earlier.

On a quiet Sunday morning I'm waxing a bit on the nostalgic side. Here's a trip down memory lane.
