Thread: What's on your workbench - February 2017

    Nice Sopwiths, Dave!

    On my virtual workbench I have a somewhat obscure plane. Only 90 were built, and they were only used in the second half of 1917. Any guesses?

    it looks (to me, that is) to be a Caudron, can find only the R.11, which doesn't have a tri-cycle landing gear and has a different nose, but the other parts of the plane seem to match, ....

    It's a Morane-Saulnier Type T. Ninety of them were made for long-range reconnaissance, but what might have been a decent plane in 1916 kept getting delayed, and by their premier in August 1917 they were already pretty much obsolete. Nevertheless they served in small numbers alongside Caudron G.6's, Caudron R.4's, and the like, though never in large enough numbers to form their own escadrille.

    Although I still have half a dozen current Wings of Glory projects on the go the recent purchase of a 'Classic Battletech Introductory Boxed Set' has resulted in a workbench invasion by 31st Century war machines!

    Some of these old boys have not seen the light of day for almost 20 years, so I am touching up, painting and basing to get them back into operational condition.

    As you can see, Wings of Glory was not my first miniature gaming obsession

    Except for the primed plastic miniatures on the right from the recent Introductory Boxed Set everything there was purchased last century. All those you mentioned plus Thunderbolts (my personal favourite), Archers, Griffins, Phoenix Hawks, Shadow Hawks, Crusaders, Riflemen, Wolverines, etc., even a Goliath.

    It is just a crime to leave them boxed - they need table time!

    Not a fan of the _T-Bolt_ -- too many different guns, and overheats like a mofo. I was always partial to the _Shadow Hawk_; few things are as fun as scoring a kill by moving 8 hexes every turn, so the opponent keeps missing his shots, gets frustrated, tries a couple alpha-strikes, and ends up overheating and blowing up his ammo. Table-Flip in 5, 4, 3.... >;)

    Amen to that. I customized my 3025 era Thunderbolt ditching the MGs, SRM2 and ammo for more heat sinks.

    Received the Crooked Dice "Great Ape" figure on Saturday and glued him together right away - last night I finally had a chance to fill the two seams (head and right arm are separate pieces). Here he is with a Jasta 19 Fokker DrI...

    It's a beautifully done figure - and I think from a scale perspective (judging on Kong's size in the Peter Jackson version of the movie) he's about right - a 1/144 supine blonde would fit enticingly into his paw...

    I look forward to making a top of a tall building for him to stand on, and I have a couple of ideas that might make his three-point stance seem a bit more lively.

    All the best,
    Matt

    I would love to see a photo Phil. These aren't all my 'mechs either - I have another fifty of the softer plastic types that I will get to eventually. I found they did not take paint very well back in the day, many have stated to flake with the passage of time.

    you sound like a buddy of mine. he always used to bring in hoards of smaller mechs to the point that, even if i won initiative, itd still loose because hed just move some non involved mechs elsewhere (often hiding at the bottom of a lake) so id be forced to move my big guys (i like big mechs, and you other jocks cant deny.....) already engaged. so i cured him of that by mining the bottom of the lake!

    i always liked designing my own. many of the book mechs seemed highly flawed to me (ie ammo in a torso with no heat sinks or anything to soak up the crit hits {BOOM}).

    one of my favorite mods was replacing the ac 5 , and srms on a shadow hawk a ppc and med lasers.

    Nice Battles Bob.

    Regarding the photos, I found a fix is to save them to your PC first, open them with MS Paint, rotate them to the desired position then save. After that they seem to upload OK. I always save mine as jpeg files.

    This only happens when I use the cell phone. Gives me a reason to get a new camera other that the DSLR one I have. I save them to the PC and they look ok but when I download them they come out upside down. last time was when I took the picture sideway.

    There is a set entitled "Party-goers with waiter" which has a couple of gals in long dresses (ala the blonde in the Peter Jackson version at the end of the movie...) that would be very workable...I think I shall have to order it in the near future...

    I'm excited about developing a building-top to make Kong seem more 'active'...I really do like the size of this figure, even if he isn't quite the 'eye candy' one might want for the King Kong scenario...

    "I got that beat -- I got that beat...."

    I played Outworlds Alliance. OA is big on Air Power -- their aerospace forces are twice as big as their 'Mech forces. I applied this thinking to Vehicles as well, and built many VTOLs; guess what happens to the to-hit numbers when your unit moves 10 hexes at "walk/cruise"? Oh, and since lances are rated solely by weight, not number of units (for ex.: some of the "short lances" seen in merc units in early products; later, "Delta Company", Marian maniples, Clan Stars, and such)... well, guess how many 10-ton SRM-armed VTOLs one can fit into an "assault lance"?

    No, our battle cry was not "SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM, SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM, LOVELY SPAM, WONDERFUL SPAM..." :)

    And when SL Tech came along, and I figured out how to put a Gauss cannon on a VTOL -- "Clan Invasion? What Clan Invasion? They all got decapitated weeks ago." >:)

    uuuuuggghhhhm i hated aerospace (even though my 1st game kill was a LAM).

    sounds like we think alike as far as vehicles. my favorite is a ppc armed 50tn hover called the "ramm dodge" (you can probably see where this is going) that was basically a shock absorbed with an enormous front armor plate. 10/15 movement does wonders for charging damage!!! i used its basic design to mount many different weapons loadouts (before id heard of that term lol) before they made rules limiting how many and what kinds of weapons you could mount (wwaaaayyyyy back in the day). the "vulcan" model was "interesting". as may machine guns as i could shoehorn into the turret (50 i think). sure it only had 1/2/3 range but whats that matter when your movements 10/15.

    i also had a few FLFs (fast little 'effers') before they made the lower weight limit on vehicles 5 tns. i had one unarmed/unarmored hover that was basically a scout/pilot recovery vehicle that had a flank speed of something like 128!!!! and a 5 tonner with a SL with a flank speed in the 30-40 range.

    and then theres the "buzzard". a vtol troop transport (jump anti mech infantry) with a downward facing ac20. yes you could say i liked my vehicles!


    sounds a lot like mine hawk except that i also had mls in the head and left arm (basically, like many of my mech designs it had a long range set of weapons and a short range set of weapons).

    pounded into snail snot no doubt lol!!!

    We are getting a bit off topic here ..... but what the heck, we all like 'mechs!

    My BT crew were big on combined arms tactics like use of fast hover tanks to screen and flank, assault pioneers laying minefields, LRM carriers for indirect fire support (one lance can kill a 'mech a round easy).

    Most players do, for the very reason "they're wicked-fast and damned-near impossible to kill" (and the one "AA 'Mech" is an underarmored, overheating PoS).

    Being OA, I had to make use of Vehicles -- Periphery nations are not rich in 'Mechs, by canon. And since not all planets are alike, and some don't allow for Hovers (places where everyone lives in domes), I had to have a variety of designs. I even figured out how to make "official" designs from the "vaguebooking" units mentioned in the _Gray Death Legion_ supplement (surprised the lazy bastards at FASA didn't do it themselves...).

    [QUOTE]OK -- never heard them called *that* before. Is that an equivalent to "long-range reconnaissance"?[QUOTE]

    Hi Chris,
    no it's not. The plane (heavely armed for it's time) was designed to be flying high and diving down with great speed on unsupecting enemies, a bit like a naval light cruiser would do ...
    Later the design was slightly altered to include bombracks and called a light / medium bomber. The name aerocruiser stuck somehow. And, seeing their performance on the first day of the invasion rightly so.
    cheers,

    Precisely. A buddy wanted to see what it looked like folded, so...

    Actually, it's FAB Defense (Israeli gearmaker), Mako's just the importer--and they're the source on the mag-carrier stock, monopod-recoil pad and foregrip-bipod-light too. Hence "Ten Pound Monster Carbine"...

Best I can hope for is a Remington 7615 pump with a ten round mag (on my list for 50th bday this year ).
