Architecture: Radio Kootwijk Building A - 1/900

Time for an inbetweenie. This one was one and a half day of fun.

I came across a paper model of Building A of Radio Kootwijk, a beautiful piece of architecture in the Netherlands. A very large Art Deco structure used for radio transmissions. Here is a picture of the finished model, the rest of the story is available when you click on the rest of the story link below.

What I have made in the time inbetween

As you might suspect, I am building a Spitfire at the moment and pictures hopefully will come up soon. With all stuff happening my life too is different from what it used to be and that also reflects on my paper model building things.
Anyway, I did some nice out of the box fun builds of aircraft. First up, one of my all-time favourite planes, the P-51D Mustang. This one is (of course) designed by Fabrizio Prudenziati, and was a lot of fun to build. Although the canopy doesn't really look the part because it is a little flat, the overall result is very nice and instanty recogniseable. I enlarged Zio's model to about 1/72, his original kit was a lot smaller. I realised that when I started the red tailed Tuskegee Airmen Mustang called Creamer's Dream. I redid another of his versions to 1/72 and this was the result. (But I also finished the smaller P-51 because I wouldn't dream to waste a good Zio model!)

The second build is after the break. click below to see it.

Hi! I am still alive. Don't worry. (-;

Hi people.

Yes, I realise it has been long since I posted something here. Sorry!
I might have been silent for a while but I am working on a model. Just with small steps at a time. Of course, the times we live in at the moment are weird, almost none of us have been experiencing these kinds of isolation and hermit-like situations. Hopefully it will be over soon but I don't expect things to be turned to normal for quite some time. It may be another couple of months, maybe even a year. Who knows.

I am all right, though, I have no signs of Covid-19, I am still working (albeit from home) and I am able to get out of my house to get a whiff of spring air regularly. I hope the same goes for you and your loved ones.

Last December we learned the film we were working on for almost 6 years was given the green light. We were busy planning dates for filming when Covid struck and everything ground to a halt. Still we are not disappointed, we are finetuning the script, getting done what can be done so time is usefully spent. Hopefully we can, now the restrictions in the Netherlands are lifted a little, restart out planning for shooting interviews. We'll see.

Now for the modeling stuff: I won't be posting pictures just yet, although I have a truckload of photos of the build I am working on. I will give you some hints, it has to do with WW2, an elliptical wing, large scale and someone named Bader. There. Now you know. I promise some pictures soon.

Stay safe, stay healthy and please, respect one another's space and keep your distance.
This too shall pass.
