| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Build | 06-Mar-14 15:21 |  | | Views : 1097 | | I made an error and posted under wrong build. My sincere apology for any inconvenience. Ladies and gentleman and children of all ages may I take this opportunity to introduce you to Dimitri Dupebrovnick, aviator extraordinaire. A new, improved, detailed version, of a standard Williams Bros. pilot figurine. |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Reference | 06-Mar-14 09:27 |  | | Views : 403 | | A test. Just trying to learn a new computer photographic skill, that being multiple images. Technology amazes me. The facial recognition system recognizes faces on figurines, but only after the have been painted. Sony no baloney! |
| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Build | 05-Mar-14 16:25 |  | | Views : 477 | | Immediately, after his completion, the gregarious Dima is greeted by a member of the crowd of supporters who are gathering to attend tomorrow's retirement photos ceremony. With the warm temps here possibly out of doors! |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Build | 05-Mar-14 10:54 |  | | Views : 431 | | Starting his life as a standard Williams Bros. pilot figurine, Dmitri Dupebovnick AKA “Dima” is morphing. I tired something that I have been thinking of since embellishing my last pilot figurine. I took a heat gun to the face and head of Dima this AM. I slowly heated his noggin and, before my eyes, Dima began to mutate genetically. Compare the face on the right to the visage of Dima on the left. I think you can see the alteration. Dima is no longer a standard William's Brothers figurine. His face represents the look of the Mongol Russians, the Tartars from southern Russia. However this facial modification method to genetic engineering is a crap shoot. The method of Predetermining the outcome and the controlling of the metamorphosis, has yet to be discovered...something to ponder before festooning a pilot for “Ogre”! Incidentally, you all may remember the aviator on the right. He is one of the Schnazola brothers. They are the gents in the crop dusting business. While the kids were playing with my Stearman crop duster, he ejected from the craft. He was lost for a period of time, almost 2 years. A recent vacuum of the floor under a couch brought him back to me, and eventually to his business. He will, once again, occupy the Stearman drivers seat when that bipe has its spring cleaning. |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Build | 04-Mar-14 13:02 |  | | Views : 443 | | Looking more like a Moai than a Russian aviator, the painting of Dimitri Dupebrovnick progresses:-))) |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Build | 03-Mar-14 15:41 |  | | Views : 488 | | Gents: please note the diagram that permitted me to take advantage of this exhaust fact when while building the exhaust. It helped me correct a spacial issue with a fuselage fiormer thingie. So if you wonder why the 5 stack is longer this is why....because it can be :-))) |
