    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"

    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.

    I will NOT criticize your efforts, Bob, whatever they are I am still about to repaint one of the D.VII for my "Polish-Soviet 1920" project!

    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]

    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...

    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.

    Dear Dave:

    Relax, enjoy what teh others are doing and get better!
    Give the elves a few days off and do nothing.
    The Zeps will wait and your friends will also wait.

    Anything you need and can assist, just say so.

    Positive vibes coming your way! Best wishes for a quick recovery, and that means following advice from the experts.

    The elves could probably use a break, too.

    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"

    I've always had excellent service from Rob, and have bought more than 20 decal sheets from him.

    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.
