Title: Should I be flattered or pissed off
Post by: Rick Bollinger on October 25, 2015, 10:32:39 PM: I just received my copy of CLW and noticed a picture of my Scratch built FireBaby replica. With no mention of where the picture came from or anything. But I was pretty flattered that it was being put off as a original.

I need to get my hands on the Oct issue .... Mr. Just apparently did an article on me and I'd like to see it.

Post by: Rick Bollinger on October 26, 2015, 07:10:34 PM: I am very flattered. It was one I posted in the Firebaby build in 1/2a. And you are right MM it is definitely more famous than I am. It just took me off guard. I talked to the author and he said he had some pictures sent to him and pulled some off the internet. He asked if I would send him a link to the build.

Post by: phil c on October 27, 2015, 11:11:42 AM: As a sometime taker of pictures, it can be REALLY hard to take pictures and keep accurate account of what a picture shows. It gets really tough at a big contest with 30 or more entrants all flying look-a-like planes(F2D anyone?) blue jeans, T shirts, helmets, and sunglasses.

Really nicely done Firebaby, by the way. It deserves a pic.
