I have just finished two 1/200 Shapeways CAC Boomerangs in late war RAAF livery, Bougainville 1944-45.

FUD finish makes for a great little miniature.

:salute: Now they look just superb! :thumbsup::clap::clap::clap:

The cockpits came out great Carl by leaving them FUD.

[flash]

Great work as always Carl, and thanks for linking to your thread :thumbsup:

Nice work Carl, I would give you some rep but apparently I have already given you some recently...

Thanks Nigel. I was hoping to get a game in this weekend with the Boomerangs, but they will have to wait another week to get a run.

Don't know much about the "Boomerangs" but they sure look neat with those RAAF decals.

Hi Wayne,

A nice pair of 84 Squadron Boomerangs there mate.

What material are the miniatures?

[Whiskysierra]

Thanks Carl, they're in frosted detail. There was a little bit of texturing in the surface but I can live with that.

[Carl_Brisgamer]

If they look good on the table at arm's length they're good enough for me!

We'll have to get together for a game, I'll bring the Horn Island map and the Bettys and we'll see if the 'Rangs can get a kill.

Just got to get some movement cards printed for them.

K deck is what you are after.

Milsims has some Revolution in the Skies card packs each with two J decks and one K deck going cheap - http://www.milsims.com.au/node/115467

Very useful info Carl.
I just picked a set of those up from a store that is closing down, and one for the last Biplanes.

You cad Sir; how dare you call Australians offensive! After all, we let you have the Ashes (for a few more months)!

By gad sir. Your attitude is just not cricket. Play the game sir. Play the game.

Unfortunately (now trying to close the thread drift I induced), I think that (apart from a very enjoyable Day 2 which I spent at Trent Bridge) the umpiring meant that the whole last series 'wasn't cricket'.

Gad sir.
Do you mean to say that there were actual Umpires at those matches?

Zounds; good point! They certainly acted more like piano players from baudy-houses masquerading as ICC officials (though they definitely presided over a complete brothel with the DRS and the light levels!).

Cricket? Oh yes I remember now we colonials used to be dab hands at that game..........

In 2007 I spent the entire Brisbane Test in the 'Gabba security box right next to the commentary team looking straight down the wicket. A tough job but someone has to do it.
