ModelArt Magazine Article on my "Grandad" vignette

[White_Wolf]

ModelArt magazine, the only Australian magazine dedicated to our hobby, has published an article on my "Grandad" vignette.

This vignette is particularly special, as it is about my mum's dad, who was a pilot and lost his life in 1943. I have posted the build, this is the article.

A big THANK YOU to Modelart and to Frank Morgan, the owner and editor, for publishing this article and to Bob Riley for helping out with editing.

Thank you for reading this post, and article. Last, but not least, a big thank you to a great friend who asked me to post the scanned article here. :drinks

Ummm .... I was born in Romania where I lived for over 30 years prior to becoming an Aussie. If you got wasted drinking with the Aussies, let me tell you that, with Romanians, it would be a lot "worse". The norm there is that a sit down meal on a special occasion consists of at least 6-8 different courses and at least 8-10 different sorts of drinks.

Loved that part of life over there and I got the kilos to show it
