OK, my Fokker F-26, ready for take off. It's amazing, but this is the first nose wheel aircraft I've ever built, that actually lands on it's nose, without nose weight!
It must be that it has the Beaufughter wing, adding more forward weight. It will never happen again!

ouiap! Very good question!!! (and nice model, too!)  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Can practically feel the sunshine!  My daughter's playing some video game with summer sound FX (birds and grasshoppers chirping, etc.) which lent even more realism to your picture.

Nice, simple background, too!

Can we (please) have some additional pictures from other angles?

You are not crazy, no, you are a brilliant designer (and manufacturer), as serious as a professional engineer...
