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.



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



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.

Yikes! If so, please do NOT post a pic of you in your "Birthday suit"!

Oh come on Ian!  As if I'm going to be able to resist a challenge like that.

I have a photo of Bo and Me in our birthday suits.  Would anyone like to see it?

(go on Steve insert it right here)



Here we are in all our glory!

pssst, I'm not wearing any underwear in this photo


Michael Scarborough: the photo is Bo, out of his suit!
What do you think of those love handles Mr Baron?

Good grief. Two of the buggars.

Here's a work-in-progress by Michel Gruson from France.  He's using Natural Rubber Tyres by Fat Otto on his Pfalz D.XII




I reckon these tyres will look stunning when weathered.

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

Greetings  Bob von Little Rubbery Aficionado   

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! 

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! 

Happy modelling days indeed!

I hope the big dough-ball is worthy of your charms

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."

Beware of Inge!

deemed the final proof of her double agent activities in support of a Goodyear takeover of Fat Otto's Rubber Emporium!.
