A Flying Machine in true AW NUTS Tradition
« on: July 30, 2010, 12:05:33 AM »


Some people might have forgotten or never realized, AWNUTS once was a printed magazine. Real people actually contributed pictures of whimsical modelling or wrote weird stories from parallel worlds.
In those dys, digital cameras were not in my reach, so sendng in analogue prints was an expensive task. 

It was fun, to model scale models of ficitional prototypes. And to drive the fellows rivet counters crazy.
Sorry to say that. but there is not much left from that spirit in the internet variant of AW NUTS.   

Here is a page from AW NUTS magazine



The armoured car of the Kraehwinkle Tax Collector is at the museum now.   A cardboard model, BTW.
but last weak I prepared the flying machine to go to an exibition again:







Some people have never seen a steam driven plane, some even doubt, that it will ever lift off.
But as long as we can hear th mermaids singing, everything is possible.


Have Fun

Juergen / Fritz.

A steam powered flying maching - had to be Prussians involved. Anyway, the Hamster is a believer, so I'm convinced.
Conservatives think every day is July 4th; liberals think every day is April 15th.

I do believe that I hear the sputtering caught of a radial engine firing up. OR Is that the bark and hiss of a live steam aero flughen.  B2
