Kurt Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Since some of you here said that you wanted to see it, here it is. This will probably bore those of you that are tired of Enigmas. This is the latest custom that I just finished. You will see that there are a few custom decals that were requested by the owner that Anasazi did an excellent job creating. And before you ask, no I don't know what the phrase on the wing means. I hope it isn't anything vulgar. I welcome your comments, good or bad. Thanks! And be on the look out for the Max and Roy VF-1S to go along with the 1S Hikaru I posted a few days ago. They should be done early next week, minus fast packs. Give me another week or so on those.

Neova Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) Sigh... I need to win the Lotto to build my Engima Squadron. Incredible work there Kurt! Incredible! PS: Do you actually have a DAY job or is this full time work for you? Any life outside of customizing? Not that its a bad thing... Edited April 3, 2004 by Neova Quote
ChristopherB Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Hello, "You know nothing" perhaps? "Du" is you, and "nicht" is nothing if I remember what I learned in German class around (12) years ago. An "Enigma" is of course a puzzle or riddle that cannot be solved, so the phrase would make sense if I've interpreted correctly. Of course I'm not cheating by using an internet translator or anything like that, so we'll see once someone does that. Anyway, the custom looks great, and speaking for me personally, I'll never get tired of seeing them, but I'll continue to be jealous that I'm not the owner. Sincerely, Christopher Quote
estacado06479 Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 babelfish says "you nevertheless not!!!" usual gibberish from the babelfish team...or the phrase DOES mean that and the person who requested it doesnt know German very well Quote
Six Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 "doch" can be translated in several ways depending on the context. Could be "however" or "nevertheless". Having no context here, but just that short phrase, I'd say it is just used to emphasize the exclamation: "Not You!" Btw. that Enigma looks really great! I never had the skills to paint my models to look good. 6 aka Matt Quote
Eternal_D Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 that's a freakin sweet ass custom. I never can get enough of peoples customs, no matter how played out ther are. Quote
Sildani Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 It means "You and who else?!" translated figuratively. Pilot's a cocky bastiche... Quote
EXO Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) It means "You and who else?!" translated figuratively. Pilot's a cocky bastiche... I guess the closest saying would be "you and what army?" Oh and great custom Kurt! Edited April 3, 2004 by >EXO< Quote
Six Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 It means "You and who else?!" translated figuratively. Pilot's a cocky bastiche... I guess the closest saying would be "you and what army?" Well, that are both possible translations, but they are very loose. Since "Du doch nicht!" is not a complete sentence it can mean a lot of things... Literally translated it can be anything from "But not You!" to "Definetly not You!" Talking about cockiness, anyone remember SAAB? The lines on that experimental fighter: "Abandon all hope!" Quote
KingNor Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 not a big fan of that look, but your skill is unquestionable, great job! Quote
StealthLurker Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Beautiful work sir. Thank you for sharing it w/ us. =] Quote
Wicked Ace Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 I never get tired of looking at the Enigma customs. BTW, who came up with the Enigma scheme (and for that matter, the Blue Roses scheme)? Quote
connor99 Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 Hey, KURT!! That custom is just a thing of perfection! I've never really seen an ENIGMA before, but sure am a fan now!! Bravo! Quote
