Original post

Sorry for the long post yesterday even though I had only a few readers. In fact I just had one, and he probably got lost on the Internet. I don’t mind, I write by pure selfish pleasure.

This will be short post about a P-40…

I built this kit probably 20 years ago. No reason in particular, just that I like the shark markings. I have known about the Flying Tigers and John Wayne when I was young. I love that movie especially when John has to leave all the Chinese food on the table.

The model I made was a modified P-40 using U.S. insignia instead of the original Flying Tigers insignia.

I found this next story on the Internet. It’s about someone who got back into building model kits.

Excerpt

After taking nearly 4 years to build a 1/350 Titanic, I realized that I was not having much fun modeling. What could I do to love this hobby as much as I did when I was younger? Then I was lucky enough to meet Eric Freese and Dick Hague. They introduced me to a new style of building strictly for fun. After seeing numerous photos of fantastic looking kits built “The Old Fashioned Way”, I tried my hand at a few and I was hooked. My sincere thanks to Dick and Eric for their “therapy.” I hope you give it a try soon! – A.B.

Nice job!

Very nice job…

    I’m pretty sure you never have just one reader! I think when people use the Word Press reader it doesn’t show up as traffic.

        I’m not 100% sure of that, but I have definitely had comments show up with no views. So the counter absolutely is not the whole truth!

        I can handle the truth…

        Okay, just while sitting at my computer for a little bit, I had five “likes” come up in notifications. But when I checked site traffic there were ZERO “views” from an hour ago! It seems very likely to me that using the reader does not generate traffic.

        That would explain it.
