22 B17s left over from last month, plus 20-odd St Trinians style zombie hunters for the club's Christmas game.
Oh, and a little something else that I am calling "Project Clipper"
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Two more Westland Whirlwinds, FUD
Two Ju88s, Zvezda
Another 1 1/2 Strutter, WSF
Another Fe2b, WSF
and in the post,
Two Wellingtons, AIM
Two Hampdens, AIM
Two Do17zs, AIM.
Given the Shapeways pricing news, I am looking at a FBA type H flying boat and a Sopwith Baby, and maybe a couple more Pups before too long.
Japanese planes - 1/200 scale and a terrible terrible cold that transited from September to October and it's giving me hell.
Going to try my hand at repainting some planes. Have a F2B and a D VII to paint for the Polish planes in the war with Russia. Two Spads to paint for the Russians. Once I get them painted have to get a critique from Nightbomber on my efforts.
Sorry to hear that buddy, feel better.
I have put aside my Jasta 12 project to get some of my Infinity minis painted up. Finished an "Avatar T.A.G." for the alien force and am working on a remote vehicle for the Nomads. Also have some plastic 1/48 scale armor for WW2 US and some resin armor for WW2 Germans. Also getting paint on some late war German infantry. After that doing up some PTO forces, US Marines and Japanese. Lastly working on some jungle and beach terrain boards for all those Marines and Japanese to fight over. Lots to do and plenty of time so must work hard before the holidays get here. Then I will have no time and no money!
Looking forward to seeing your Poles Bob.
1 Fokker DVII, 4 Snipes and 4 SPADs in various stages of repainting.
Just picked a parcel up from Royal Fail, may be doing a bit of re-scheduling on the painting front....

What is the manufacturer and scale, Steve?

My October (well, post September...) efforts are partially completed.
2 Fiat Cicognas,
4 MC 200 Saettas,
4 Spitfires V trop,
- have just been finished yesterday and posted in the Painting Showcase forum.
4 Fw-190s
3 Bf 109F/G are painted, ready to be decaled.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Andy my planes are what I think how they would have been painted but then again it is my air force so I can paint them how I think they could look.
A Wild West town in 28mm for "Dead Man's Hand", two carrier bags full of jungle plants for 28mm Dinosaur Hunting, and heaps and heaps of WGF planes, mostly left over from September, August and July.
Oh, and my Series 2 reprints from Keith arrived on Friday; lots of repaints to do there, too!
To "celebrate" last Shapeways' pricing update, I have just received my last order from AIM to keep me busy this Fall...
2 Lilly bombers [we were lacking Japanese medium bombers],
4 Hs 129 Tank Busters (2 for Med, 2 for EF) [plus big guns option],
3 Airacobras (EF) [great we have the official Nexus card for that one]
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Beautiful, Andy.
You just don't stop.
I can not! Since I found a fast painting pipeline way (black primer spray, airbrush etc.), I just collect more and more of them! Tomorrow a parcel from S. is expected with some PZL P-24s... There is a hell of a project ahead before Prague 2015. Kubajs and me are planning a kind of Eastern Front campaign...Those Henschels 129 would be more then welcome there hunting for T-34s...
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
1 x Zeppelin
4 x 1 1/2 Strutters
1 x Sopwith Baby I brought home from the UK.
3 x Nieuport 11s
2 x FE2B
Probably won't get to them all but I'm hopeful.

This is what is on my work bench all the time:

Twelve days 7 strokes, new record, no planes : ( Mrs Clipper is getting too skilled at anticipating my moves! They even took away my laptop! All I have is my Kindle and my web sites! Keep up the great projects, they help me focus on getting over this hurdle! I still have a few zeppelins to mail out!!!!!!! Blessings! Dave
Appart from getting 2 superb Boeings 306 from Clipper I have not done a thing!
Crikey Dave, sorry to hear that. Hope you make a speedy recovery.
Something in the mail this weekend as a get-well present, hope it cheers you up

Eileen and I were very sorry to hear of your illness Dave.
Mrs K. says undoubtedly Mrs Clipper knows best.
You must do exactly what the Quack says, after all he is the specialist engineer in this case, and you are probably paying through the nose for his advice.
My dad had 100% recovery by being a good boy for three months.
We both hope you are ready for a visit from your Elves very soon.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Rob & Eileen.

Relax as best you can. Don't rush your recovery. I'd love to retire early but not the course you are flying!

He,he, he, snuck a Zvezda Ju52 under the radar here and managed to carve a set of floats for it, now for some paint . . . Pictures to follow when I figure out this smart phone . . .
Dave get well soon.
I still have from August left over to do:
2 x FE2b's

1 x Pfalz DIII
3 x JU52's
2 x N16's
See you on the Dark Side......
Well,
I just went and did something really dumb. Someone posted a Mini site running a sale, and I found some Hurries. Not a great deal, but if I want that Battle of Britain line-up, I "need" some Mk I Hurries.
I now need some RAF 200 scale decals, though. If I get them in time, I can re-decal the three Belgian Hurries as 419 Sqn, and do the two Molders 109s ( from my clean-out of that not-so-local game store in May) as additional JG 53 wingmen for October. Then, BottosCon might see a WWII scenario on Saturday morning.
Suggestion for decals?
PS: Hmmmm... 419 Squadron wasn't involved in the Battle of Britain? OK, then No. 1 Squadron RCAF, squadron code "YO"

Those are not the records we aim for. take it easy. Speedy recovery!
Rich
Try these?
I've always had excellent service from Rob, and have bought more than 20 decal sheets from him.

Dave didn't see that you were ill. Take care of yourself as you are a very valued member of the site.
Going back to the medieval age James?
Great work all of you! I especially liked your Hs-129 Andy. Always like this plane, hope to see it done soon.
As always I dont have nothing....
Thanks
Nick
Nick the dragon is for work (its about 80cm in length so a rather big project), recently finished a Fokker D1 and also nearly done with a early Rumpler C.1 as well as 2 half finished Gumbus and DH.2's
I was just kidding James. Do you have a body too?
Nick,
I hadn't taken any offense .... The body is being fabricated out of material and will be assembled very similar to that of the Chinese Dragon/lion dance costumes. It will be about 5-6 meters in length and will be operated by 4 kids for a Christmas performance.
Finished the Rumpler just now! I also have 3 other WOGF projects that are constantly running but require a lot of time.
