    Thank you! I have built five or six of those Minicraft 110`s and that Italian bird was a change of pace! The gaggle has another one or two to add to it!

    I made some quick wooden range rulers for WoG the previous night. The most difficult part was making sure they were cut to the proper length. I will touch up the divider with some red paint over the weekend.
    I also included a picture of the attitude indicators and range rulers I made for Sails of Glory as well. (please excuse the blurriness of the pictures, by iPod did not want to focus at the this time)

    They look quite robust Dave.
    I do like the red and yellow colour scheme, it resembles the fire and flames.
    Are you going to use them instead of the more flimsy card ones or as extras?

    The color scheme is from the actual range rulers for Sails of Glory. The Yellow/Gold is the far range, the orange is the close range, and the split red and purple range is for special damage (grapeshot and chain ammo). The plan it to eventually replace the cardboard rulers at some point.

    I'd love to Rich, mayb sometime in the future. Can't next week as it's my birthday and my lovely wife is taking me ziplining in New Hampshire. Looks like you guys have a lively bunch down there.
    I'll do my best to make the next Muster.

    Two colinwe Hanriot HD.1s that I just received in the post yesterday. I am going to try the Reviresco full coverage decals sets on them to make two Belgian versions. First time trying this and in looking at the planes and decals, I can see I am going to have some struggles getting the decals around struts and the undercarriage. But, it is a relatively inexpensive way to add to my tiny Belgian force.

    I am amazed yet again at the sheer productivity of Clipper and his Elves.
    Just think of what this is doing for the War Effort.

    Hmm -- I wonder if a tailless design for the P-38 would have defeated its compressibility problems....

    This is how mine is looking at the moment!

    Two of those aircraft got finished though while the drome was down....pesky artillery strikes cutting the lines again!

    Plus some secret projects in the mix that only come out when its dark and the family are tucked up in bed none the wiser!

    Sadly, no planes lately.

    But I did do this, in record time. He had been sitting around for years, and I needed a mini for my D&D5 game, so I slapped some primer on him and finished it in a couple hours.
