awesome. i used to make things like that!

[RogCBrand]

Cool!

Hope you've been doing good Luke!

Great video!! :D Those models look really detailed!! :D At 0:37, what are the small pieces coming from the front of the plane?

[RogCBrand]

Thanks guys! It's amazing, some of these guys have the skill to even make detailed paintings on the faces of the pilots, which are only 1/4 inch across!

Those are antennas from an early German radar. The Heinkel 219 Owl was used as a night fighter- American bombers hit Germany during the day but British bombers flew at night, so these would use radar to sneak in behind & try to shoot them down.

[JesseAndMike]

Thanks for telling us what the small pieces are! :D We've seen pieces like that before, not sure if all pieces like that are antennas, but always wondered what they were. :D

Models are so much fun to build. I built one for school, but since it was pretty good, the teacher kept it. I really liked it.

Those models look really cool, I wish I could see them all in person.

[RogCBrand]

That's really cool David! It's a great complement when the teacher thinks it good enough to keep!

The only problem for me is that I've always got sick to my stomach, and headaches, really easy, from all kinds of things, but the paint, thinner and glue always would make me sick- but I still liked making them so much that I think I made something like 2 dozen or more planes, plus a destroyer, the WW2 aircraft carrier Enterprise, which was beautiful, the battleship Arizona, etc.

:D

[RogCBrand]

Thank you Dion! Yeah, I've been a member of the museum since it opened about 10 years ago, so I can go for free any time and I always enjoy it, and all the cool stuff they do there!

Hope you have a great weekend!

[RogCBrand]

Thanks Gino!

[WillNeverBackDown]

they make sure they let you know not to touch them

will they fine you or throw you out if you do?

always amazed at how many different types of planes, ships, and tanks there were and are

[RogCBrand]

LOL! Yeah, there are so many little tiny breakable pieces & there are some small kids that come through to look & it's all right there within their reach! It's kind of brave for these people to bring their many hours of hard work to be put out there where one careless move could do some major damage!

:P

But hopefully the signs make parents warn their kids a little more strongly than if the signs weren't there!

:P

[curtisdabassist]

haha those are some cool models you got to see!

[RogCBrand]

Thanks Curtis! I used to make models, but I never had the skill or the patience to make them so detailed- some of these just amaze me!
