Hi guys and girls . I may have been mainly moved to figures lately but i never forget my big love Dioramas !!!
Proudly i present u the first printed version of The Amazing Tropical Plants article that Beachbum (C.K.Tang) has posted here some time ago .
Its an 12 pages article that i made modeifications and additions and also translated in English (but main work still remains to Beachbum !) , in order to print in the last issue of the bigest Greek Modelling Magazine - MODEL EXPERT - that i am a monthly writer .
Of course this is in Greek and its not useful to u i guess, but hey .......soon enough will be printed in a major release English speaking Modelling mag ...guess who !!! And then i ll let u know !!!
C.K. i really wanna thank u for the chance to cooperate, u have always been a good friend , and i wish we can do some more in the future.
CK Your copy is already coming there!!!!

Wow very nice indeed! Looks like a really extensive explaination on that article.
Definitely do try to come up with the English version of this publication. Would certainly be interested to read more about it.

Hi Brother Costas & Tang
The original article was great and reached many interested modelers - this is just another way of reaching a "few" more
Congrats to both on making the hobby interesting and more accurate
Keep up
Skipper
PS: Interesting word "Teknikes" - almost the same in Portuguese = tecnicas

Gentlemen let me say without sounding too wimpy or like some award ceremony speech the Thanks should go to all of you and Armorama. From Scott who helped us get in on Armorama to each and everyone of you who have contributed to varying degrees in influencing my thoughts.
As for my co-writer, you did most of the work, heck all I did was spend way too much time hanging out with the plants and that was the easy part.
My only small dissappoinment was I was hoping to see my name in Greek but Costas said it doesn't translate all that well. So much for trying to impress my missus with my Greek name.

I'm afraid Costas, my friend the honor is mine and like I said my portion was the easy part. You did most of the work. Besides anytime I can escape from real work is time well spent.
I've been having another idea hatching in the old blockhead. You know what they say "an idle mind's a devil's workshop". In my case its gone beyond workshop and is now a factory. I was thinking of another article for Armorama. I will PM you on it later once I've got the structure.
Many thanks Kevin. Actually I was hoping to rope you in on this potential article for Armorama if you can spare the time. It involves dios and I believe its a subject all 3 of us share an interest on. Will PM you as well once the idea firms up.
