My dad owned a fleet back around 1954. Tied down in N. San Bernardino . He sold it to Ralph Nagle in Torrance. My only recollection of the plane is when he flew over our house and waved at me.
dude is experienced. I know cuz his letters have the right proportions, the thicks and thins/up and downstrokes have the correct weights, and the spacing between each letter is consistent. also the letters are smooth and not painted janky when going super slow, and letters look almost identical.
Wished I had known about this meet. Would have been only a 2+ hour drive. My first meet was instructing a class at Raymond Chapman's Texas Letterhead Meet in Nov/83.
Letter painting can be daunting - It does boil down to confidence to some extent... I like that Mike, "I remember what is was like etc - I can help you" That's a great teacher right there. ✊
Awesome project and Dad stories - His soloing at 14 in the late 30's was astonishing. My Dad got his Flying License after WW2 from the GI Bill and we had a Cub and a Pacer. I was always passionate about model airplanes and flying.
Is that a Scotland bunnet hat you have on Mike?? that has been well travelled love it!! I wish I knew if you visited our little country I've been watching you online for a few years now it would be a honour to meet you in person, thanks for all the education so far God Bless mate.
At 4:20 ---its getting much better --thankyou ---and grateful for someone who at least shows us HOW TO CONSTRUCT EACH LETTER -- I HAVE BEEN THRU 27 VIDEOS Mike Meyer is the first to show us the very basics 00====thankyou again --really appreciate!
I spent six weeks in Fredericksburg Texas and we would go to Lukenbach on the weekends and enjoy a beer at the old post office/souvenir store/bar. That was in 2005, A Great time in my life in a Great place to be.
