    Went to your Profile page to look at the pictures. If you are looking for critisism you won't find it here. You have done some very nice work. All of the planes look great!! Did you modify the middle wing of the Sopwith Triplane?

    Hi Chris,
    I also had problems with the link, but had a look via your album and they looked great

    I'm going to have to get one of those Skyrex Sopwith Tri-planes.

    Cheers Aled

    The only critisism I have is that they aren't mine!! Good looking aircraft!

    Very very nice Chris! I am jealous of your artistic chromosomes and your obviously steady hands!

    Some nice looking aircraft there. My only criticism is lighting related. Try and snag some with out such bright lighting/glare. Some of the rather excellent details are lost in the glare of the photos.

    I highly recommend Picasa from Google as a simple touch up program for coloring/contrast/lighting. It can do wonders making your picture look more like real life while still being vibrant enough to see online.

    Very nice Chris. I particularly like the German Camel. Shame the first photo is a bit washed out as it's difficult to see the detail on the models

    It is great to see what a wealth of talent we have here on the drome. Even with the lighting difficulty, the quality shines through (pun intended). I am amazed at the steady hand you have on the details. A great set of repaints.(Note to self) I must drink more to steady my own hand.

    The pics look fine to me, and it is hard for me to see details. i think you did well to get the shot before that giant fog bank overwhelmed the area.

    Yes Sir, luckily the fog/cloud stopped the incursion

    Great pics and great repaints! I love how the dark colored Albatros is in a steep dive to avoid the incoming fog...

    ...and I like that fog bank idea... might have to use that sometime... (Shorter firing range... chance to hit friendly aircraft... throw in some barrage balloons that are completely hidden... could make for a really quick scenario!)

    That secret can be revealed by going to the British user group forum, where there is a thread on how they are made. You can find it under the title Propeller on page 3. next to the picture of Joanna. I think that is how the accident happened chaps.

    No problem Ken. With your fine manual dexterity, and an electron microscope, you will have no trouble assembling the tiny little engine. or you could just join the British user group.
