how can you insult wojtek like this. this looks like a toy some guy made in his garage in the 30s.if it was a wojtek fajga it would be an accurate to the miniscule detail replica.

Judging by the current standard of quality in Wojtek's models, if it was one of his first efforts he could well have made it when he was two or three months old.

So, I have the skills of a two or three month old mastermodeler (damn logic!) And this for about seven years now. Gotta change something in my life

Well, we all have drooled about the keyboard watching pictures of Wojtek's work but we've never seen a picture of him besides one of his matches. My theory is that Wojtek is only 3 inches tall, so what we stupid giants see as microscopical parts are perfectly workable for him

Oh dear, whatever happened to peoples sense of humour. The message was meant to be humorous. Wojtek is an absolute genius with photoetch and all other aspects of modelling and never ceases to inspire me and I would imagine everyone else who is interested in WW1 modeling. They used to say here in Austria that a jokes no laughing matter! It seems to have moved to the U.S.A.

What do you mean? Perhaps the ebay ad isn't very clear because that model is in fact 0.010" wingspan

Agreed.
Some people have "sense of humour bypass" syndrome.
Thankfully, we Brits survive on humour to get us through the day

I´ll second that, looking at the price of a pint in London you need to have a sense of humour or a good hankerchief to hand.
