But it was part of a sanity program. Indulge me, please, as I explain. My sister had a new knee installed, which meant she needed considerable care for some time. We were it. That part was not much fun, but here is the really bad part--she lives in Henderson Nevada, beside Las Vegas. Too hot. Too dusty. Too dry. Too ugly. Bottom line--you couldn't pay me to live there. Please now--no letters from those of you who live there and love it. I am glad you love it--I am sure my beloved green, cool, Vancouver Island would sink if you all wanted to live here. Anyhow, I did take along paper modeling tools and many pre-printed models as a way to help forget where I was. This tiny Panzer Wagon in 1/72 is one of Olli's creations. http://olli.maquettes-papier.net/ Olli has the talent to make a very simple model, but one that is definitely recognizable. The purists may quibble about some details, but the overall effect is accurate. You will find many models at Olli's site. In some of them the simplification goes a bit too far for my tastes--square fuselages for airplanes--but many are quite nice. They are all free, though for many of them Olli requests that you write to him for a password. Home now, after two and a half months, and no less sane than when I left--though that's not saying a lot. -- John and/or Marzlie Freeman Check us out at-- http://2oldkiters.smugmug.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
