May TOTM chat thread.

Post by Son of a gun-ner »

And here is the thread to chat about this month's TOTM, its submissions, or any questions you'd like to ask the submitters about their models.
This way we keep the submission thread tidy for ease of viewing the submissions during the eventual voting week, thank you.

You can find the submission thread here.

That looks great, Mr. Bix! The tracks and wheels are especially stunningly realistic. Another inspiration is the weld lines.

Thank you Mr HERMAN BIX for our first marvellous submission :clap: :clap:

Although it does look like it's suffering from the lockdown and in dire need of a barbers ;)

Herman,

Love the look of that JT! The black and white photos are very realistic. I also like the rear deck, pintle mounted MG. Top notch as always! :thumbup:

Cheers,
Eric.

I'd be quite happy to lose to Mr.Bix, his work and photography are quite excellent!

This is great! Tiger variations from Australia, the UK, and the US! I have so enjoyed reading RCTW postings from all around the world. You all do such great work.

I noticed our Californian's disclaimer: perhaps a good reminder, not needed all the time, but just once in a while for any casual viewers out there who may not understand modeling. Here's a little bit that surprised me. Some years ago, I stepped off the Amtrak running across the Southwestern US (yes, the train was stopped at the time). Looking up I saw a building with a frieze decorated with Schwastikas. Yikes! Later, my friends from New Mexico explained that the Schwastika was once a Native American symbol, long before it was associated with evil.

Hello prof.
I do believe the Schwastika was also an ancient Israeli symbol. There has been many variations over time within many cultures, but I believe they all had peaceful interpretations. Well, that is until a corporal got his clutches on it.

As for the TOTM entries submitted from around the globe (corners of the planet for flat Earthers). Yes, it is rather cool :thumbup:

Speaking of which, are there any more members that would like to add to our modest collection of submissions?
