Here are some photos, Probably about 1970/1971: My 1/72nd German Collection and my first revelle 1/28th Fokker F1 in Voss markings, sorta

I was about 18.

the final one is me, my Father, Grandfather, Grandmother, and Great Aunt. 3 of us were born on Feb. 17th, Me, My Grandfather, and Great Aunt. Thus I am RAGIII: Richard Andrew Geisler III, born 50 years later on my Grandfathers Birthday.
PPS: I am the Long Haired one

Good to see your modelling skills have grown a little since then

I did wonder why RAGIII now we all know.

No way I'm sharing my 1970's photos....lol

RAGIII, now it all makes sense, thanks for the explanation and the photos, it is always great to look back at the way it used to be.

Isn't it just great to see these photos of early work; I wish I had some. Around 1970/1 my hair was about the same length and colour!

And so the mystery is solved, RAGIII, but three members of the family sharing the same February birthday. What are the odds against that?

Best wishes
Nigel

Nice haircut, mine was surprisingly similar!
My family can't match 3 sharing one birthday, but we have 4 sharing 2 - my Grandmother and myself on April 28th, and my brother and cousin on Jan 31st.

Great photos, Amigo! Pretty spiffy collection of Fokkers and that dio is very cool. Groovy haircut, too. I may have had about 3 or 4 inches on you about that time (post-Navy, mid 70's).
Cheers,
Bud

I think I did that revell Triplane about the same time, luckily I don't have any pictures.

Always wondered about your ID, - mine ? it's the name of my GSD

RAGIII · « **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2014, 01:26:02 PM »

Thanks guys for all of the responses! Here is one that might be even more important. My Uncle Tom and Me working on a Monogram Cessna when I was about 13. He was my inspiration to start Modeling. He had a very few Completed Models in his room at my Grandparents house and I always admired them. He Traveled the country and the shot I have posted is after my immediate family Moved to Florida from Ohio.
