BlueBookGuy Posted June 29, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 29, 2014 The problem is that when I complete a pilot or aircrew, I start a new one. Actually I am setting three new mannequin ..... :blush: The GOOD and the BAD of our ..."duty", my collection at its peak numbered 10 mannequinns (both vintage and modern, U.S. and not). A sort of illness in those years, wich meant for me some huge quantities of overtime work (were so much different times than now) in order to devote exclusively that extra money to these things. Not to mention all the airbrushing paintings I privately did on modern helmets for collectors/dealers, that was a way of getting some hard-to-pay items and saving some moneys... .. think I must be somehow insane back in the past, if willing to get through 100 + hours painting, almost all done by night.. but somehow I miss those years. Good collecting anyway to all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted June 29, 2014 Share #10 Posted June 29, 2014 was forgeting: regarding that "illness" (at least for me), there wasn't any way of healing in those years of greater seriousness - I had to wait it slightly did subside by itself. Currently it does remain at more than acceptable levels - that is, much less (very much less) than at the time. But still I'm not regretting those days. Greetings - Franco.
