hi Steven.  :)

Hahaha! What a great advertisement!

Otto is not as classy as your new PA,
but he is certainly better protected!  ;D

Considering all the time and effort you put into acquiring your little wheelie prophylactics, I think your price is very cheap!
And postage included too! 

Thank you for offering the opportunity to share the benefits of your enterprize.

All the best for a successful sale.  :)

Hi boogie

Not quite tyre-less yet but seeing things slim down in the stash department is rather alarming (in-fact, I've got palpitations, or was that chest pain?).

Wise modellers jump in and get them while the getting's good; I've seen the pain of those who've missed out in the past.

Must go, I reckon the pie cart is just around the corner.

Best
Otto

Ahhhh, yes on the subject of Samurai, here's a lovely photo or two from a bloke in Japan.  He's nearly finished a Wingnuts Fokker E.I and has used a couple of Fat Ottos.

(http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w626/StevenRobson/11203540_10152980866324247_3017337961894141023_o_zpskwken45t.jpg) (http://s1333.photobucket.com/user/StevenRobson/media/11203540_10152980866324247_3017337961894141023_o_zpskwken45t.jpg.html)

Modeller is James Machin from Japan: please note he's still working on the engine cowling.

(http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w626/StevenRobson/11218572_10152980866299247_1558768351258869031_o_zps0p413h9s.jpg) (http://s1333.photobucket.com/user/StevenRobson/media/11218572_10152980866299247_1558768351258869031_o_zps0p413h9s.jpg.html)

This is going to be a killer Fokker E.I when finished and I'll get some more photos.  Jame's WIP should give you a good idea of what your natural rubber tyres will look like.

Dear Mr Bobby von Rubber Fan

Thank you for your ongoing interest in our specialist range of natural rubber products.  Otto's Rubber Emporium is now the leading supplier of little rubber o rings to discerning WW1 modellers worldwide.

Herr Otto is unavailable to take your order as he is currently en route to the Cocos Islands on SMS Emden for a conference.  In Herr Fatso's absence, I am more than willing to fill your order for additional rubber o rings.  Please expect 5 to 7 days shipping to the United Kingdom.

Thank you very much for enjoying the little rubber darlings.

Best Regards
Inge
Deputy Entertainment Manager

Good call.

I initially bought 3 pairs of tyres from Otto's Emporiam to go with the 3 pairs of Stevens spokies (1 of each type) I was lucky to acquire.

When I got them in my grubby little hands and observed how great they are in reality, I bought 15 pair more!  ;D

With only 3 pairs of Steven's superb spokies in hand what do I do with another 15 pairs of prophylactics?

Buy a truck load of Bo's rims of course!  :D

Happy modelling days indeed!

A senior executive from Fat Otto Group said today..

"..we are all deeply shocked and saddened by the Emden tragedy, the Board holds grave fears for the safety of our Chairman Herr Otto von Blotto Kleiner-Weiner.  We have not heard from Otto since news of the Emden's loss became public.  Fat Otto's Rubber Emporium is in uproar, orders for our product have gone through the roof.  We really don't know how this is going to play itself out.  Our stock of latex is quite limited and Otto kept a lot of the critical information regarding the day-to-day running of the group to himself."

Hi Des

The sale of Natural Rubber Tyres by Fat Otto is over.

Thank you very much for the indulgence.  I'm pleased to let you know that the modellers have taken the best of what I had.
I'm now preparing the last half dozen orders scheduled for shipping on 14 May 2015.  It would be timely to un-pin the Mr Otto
von Blotto post and let him sink into the archives of the forum.

I've attached again for posterity our favourite photo of Fat Otto.
I'm sure he'd like to be remembered this way.

Best Regards
Steven
