    I don't believe so: I love my job! To work with the Maranello folks, even when it's at times frustrating, is wonderful...

    Drawing is a pastime...

    Cheers.

    Depends on the size (and motivation of the artist ;-)).

    For the rear view of the 360, about an hour.

    For the 250 TDF since it's a large format, 3-4 hours...

    Also sometimes, I start, stop and start again... If I really like a model, I may spend the time needed to complete it...

    Usually I do this on week-ends when I don't have social activities...

    Cheers.

    Wow! Nice work!!

    Whenever I have a slow day at the office, I end up with yet another aircraft design. Mostly structural drawings. Guess I am a bit too much of an engineer at times... :)

    Looking forward to seeing more of your scribbling!!!

    Here's two that I have built (the red/white one on the second photo, not the WW-I plane)

    Existing design, completely redesigned under the skin. Both running Subaru engine. Lots and lots of modifications.

    My thinkig is now around a simple to build Ryan ST-A lookalike (see last photo).... Plus I have an all-metal 4-seater forming in my head. Something the Vans RV-10 should have been, if they hadn't made it so terribly large. Think a cross-over between RV-7 and RV-10...

    Sorry, no drawings that I could show yet....

    Very cool! Lucky job (If I can call it one) you have!

    Have you thought of designing a "modern" looking propeller plane?

    I was in the French airforce for my military service and was lucky enough to be a passener in an alphajet (training airplane for fighter pilots). I will never forget the experience!!! But ever sicne I was a kid, I always loved planes.... That love now is with (fast) cars ;-)

    It's not my job, I am afraid. I'm freelancing in project management on large corporate web sites. Having said that, the white/red one, I did build for somebody. So for some time it has indeed been my job. Kind of a lonely job, I might add, spending long hours in a deserted and cold hangar. Glad I got it back to being a hobby....

    If you were in France in aviation, you must have seen hundreds of Jodels and Robins there. Mine are hotrodded versions of those. The green one does 2300 fpm in climb (as opposed to maybe 700 fpm on a stock one). The red one is almost ready for first flight. With over 200 hp on tap in a 600 kg aircraft, we expect a lot from that one :D

    As for designing more modern looking stuff: My heart really is into the classics. Same with my car: I would never trade in my 1974 308GT4 for, say, a 430. I just love the somewhat odd old looks. (And I love beating modern BMW's in that silly looking thing - a 3.0 liter Z4 or 330i doesn't stand a chance against a properly tuned, 34 year old Dino :D)

    Thanks for the compliment.

    I'm the GM of the Ferrari License for Blue Mountain Wallcoverings, North-America's largest wallcoverings company. We just signed an exclusive worldwide license for wallcovering products (wallpaper, murals, wallart stickers, borders etc...) with Ferrari Spa. and I'm basically running this business... You can check our products on gtmurals.com. Many more to come ;-)

    I've been a Ferrari fan since i was a little kid so it's a dream job for me to be working with the folks in Maranello!

    Cheers.

    Drawing is a hobby now but was a passion when I was a little younger...

    Ok, got it but doing that even in your spare time is cool!

    For cars, I completely agree with you! Vintage cars especially Ferrari have something that a modern car does not have: soul! I think I saw your nice car in the "flying dutchman thread"... It will be a cool drawing! For me, a 250 lusso, TDF or SWB is something I'd love to acquire someday (and drive!). Let's wait for a recession and see prices come down a little bit (not too much for these classics I'm afraid)... Have you seen the models to be auctioned at Monterey -Rm auctions-?)

    Cheers.
