I have a short list of planes. But a longer list of game aids for my three games for Guns Of August.
Three ME-110`s, a HE-111 , a JU-88 and a JU-87 all 144 scale and all for the desert.

Sounds like you have some work ahead of you there Richard. As for me I'm trying to finish up my 4 Valom SE5 kits. Thanks to Clipper1801 I may have props to convert a couple to the 4 blade version of prop, only the 2 blade version is included in the kit. Then I have some Shapeways coming. 4 Albatros DIII for some Jasta 12 birds, 4 Dr1, one for a Jasta 12 bird, 1 for Rabens blue craft, and the others yet to be determined, and lastly a Pfalz DIII that may end up as Aloys Heldmanns Jasta 10 purple/green camo aircraft. Will put up pics and such when they get done. Also have some 28mm US Marines en-route for Bolt Action, and some Aliens for Infinity to help my little girl paint. She loves the creepy aliens, whereas they give my wife the willies. Good luck to you all on your August projects. Eager to see whats going to show up.
Two Italian Battleships and a cruiser, plus an HMS Ark Royal being converted to Illustrious.

Still 4 albatrosses D.III and 7 D.V, plus one AEG C.IV for my Jasta 12, and a few fokkers Dr.I and D.VII when I'm through with the black tails.
Currently, 2x Whirlwinds, 2x Spitfire V, and fingers crossed for a couple of twin engined FBs in the next few weeks
And the Airfix sink the Bismark set

Well I've ordered a Albatross D.III from Shapeways, I'll be visiting my local hobby store two buy two Siemens Schuckert's and possibly two Gotha's for repaints.
Dave, as you seem to have something new on your workbench every other day or so, I think we should start another thread specially for you with the days of the week instead of just the month.

Unfortunately the August workbench is very similar to July. Well it now has building new beehive parts on the list as well as the efficient little workers are having a bumper summer.

We have a local beekeeper that bought a vacant lot the next block down from me (the house was demolished as a nuisance) and had a solid fence put up. Being curious why someone would fence in an empty lot (no entrance to either the adjoining lots), I peeked through, and found an apiary.

You make it sound like a real Bee Hive of activity!
Rich
Oh Beehive (behave).... geddit?
I'll get me coat....................
Ian
My late father had a fascination with bees in the early 80`s. He had four hives and a problem understanding their habits. He would try to check the hives when the bees really objected to it. One such day he wanted to check on them. He had on his suit and all the gear you needed. Somehow he pissed off the bees and they got in his suit. A hose finally chased the bees off of him but he had been stung at least 50 times. A trip to the hospital followed, he had badly swollen up from all the stings. The doctor advised him to find another hobby and leave bees alone!
Rich
Great stuff you guys have there. I Don't have nothing to work on.
Thanks
Nick
Hi Rich,
There's a saying among bee keepers," shame the bees don't read the books". They have a habit of doing the unexpected. I've only had one get in my suit resulting in a sting on the chin. At least they only get you once! On a hot day they ignore you, if it's going to rain soon it's a different story.
Ian
Put him out of beesness, did it?

And we closed with them and fought it out and turned it red with blood,/
Oh, the fighting, it was vicious, as we closed in hand to hand,/
And then we hit the beehive, and the corpses jumped and ran. o/~"

Most of the game projects I have been working on have been for Sails of Glory with the construction of wooden attitude indicators and some range rulers.
I was thinking about creating a wooden card caddy for the WW1 damage cards, but am not really sure about patterns and such. As it is, I might work on a couple of wooden range rulers for Wings as well.
For me
2 x DH5
2 x Sopwith Strutter 2 Seaters
3 x JU88
3 x Do17
a herd of Zombies for Zombiecide ( thanks Simon, you talked me into it )
The desert Germans are done! All 144 scale of course. Starting with three Minicraft ME-110`s. A gaggle of ME-109 prepainted repaints, mostly renumbering. A Testors JU-87 old kit new decals, right out of the box. The bombers i finally coded a Big Bird HE-111, built an ancient Arii HE-111 and finished with a Minicraft JU-88.

Most are just numbers from the decal collection! Most started out as Yellow 14!
Rich
Well that's a great bunch you have their Rich. All redirected away from their Malta objectives I hope.

Some may find their way into the Med a few over Malta. I know most of the Med planes were out of Sicily and had standard paint jobs.
Rich
Awesome looking planes - I love 'em all, but especially the 109s!
Great looking planes!
Peter
Thank you! Come on down to Williamsburg next week and fly some!
Rich
Lovely looking gaggle there - I particularly like the 109 schwarm, and kudos for the Italian Bf.110.
