This month is more "Bolt Action" than "Wings of Glory" for me.

I will have to restrain the twitching until I get back from my trip.

Nice Panhard.
If it gives you any idea of the quality you've achieved, at first glance I thought the photo must be a computer rendering, because everything is so perfectly textured it couldn't be real. Well done!No planes painted this month yet, been busy making and painting some 28mm Afghan buildings for my Brits to chase the bad guys around
Nice looking, Steve.No planes painted this month yet, been busy making and painting some 28mm Afghan buildings for my Brits to chase the bad guys around
Compound with two Airfix 1/48 buildings
Drone's-eye view of the village
All made out of cork floor tile with MDF bases and dry-brushed, with a couple of domes from the local Hobbycraft store.
How tough was the cork tile to cut and assemble?
I'm looking at options for terrain.

Dead easy Karl. I used a Stanley Knife to cut the tile, then superglue to assemble it although you could use PVA if you want to wait for it to dry.
Got the ideas (and nicked some of the plans) from Matakishi’s Teahouse site, he has a lot of useful stuff there - www.matakishi.net

Dang, Steve; that site is gold!
Thanks.

Saved that site, thanks Steve - if I go along this route again I will look at using cork...Though it looks as though I may have enough already, never say never !
Most of these are home made from the high density foam inserts from ammo boxes; only four are purchased models, they are the slightly lighter colour two storey jobs from The Colonial Steamboat Company.

Beautiful work here this month! Wish I had more time to spend at the workbench myself, but with the house move, that won't be happening anytime soon...
That little Panhard is wonderful, Eric - I've always liked the looks of that particular vehicle.
And your Albatros project is going to be stunning, Ezekiel
Steve, those cork tile buildings are amazing, and like Karl, I just visited that chap's site and it is a treasure trove of info and ideas.
Zoe, thanks for the reminder that even Nazgul need to freshen up occasionally! Did you manufacture the toilet game scenery pieces or are the available commercially?
Well done - and the month is only almost halfway over...
All the best,
Matt

With thanks to Jennel Jacquays.
I'm currently struggling to paint up a Blood Bowl High Elf team! I might post a pic later if I think they're good enough!

Frantically trying (again) to get everything done for Origins. Pictures from there (I hope).

Many thanks for the link, Zoe!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Losing interest in tiny things for a bit, not even sure what minis are on the far horizon . . . The elves are starting planning and production on some flying birds . . . 36" Lancaster being coded in now . . . .
B-24 will be next I'm hearing, hmmm . . .
Ah! My favorite kind of center fold!

Nice Clipper! How big will the Dams need to be for those beasties?

Nice Zoe, I remember that one.

Doing pretty much only graphics this month. Besides the Forum stuff, here is a Comox Air Force Museum project I am working on:
We have a "Women of The Air Force Division" (WAF Div) display, and they wanted a picture of the person for whom we are displaying a uniform. This is what we scrounged up from the Memory Project (Link: www.thememoryproject.com: Ruth Masters/):
This is what I've managed to do to mess it up:
We'll see if they like it, or what changes they'll want.

I'm working on 12 Valom kits (2 each of Albatros DVa, S.E.5a, Fokker E.III, Nieuport 11, Bristol F2b Fighter and Rumpler C.IV), in batches.
Doing one of each first to get a feel for each kit and to compare them. The first Bristol and Albatros are done:
Here's closeup of the Bristol's scratch built twin observer Lewis Guns on their Scarff ring:
As usual with closeups of 1/144 stuff you DO pick up all the flawsI shall be filing those butts more even shortly...
I've been making notes on the "Are Valom Kits any Good?" thread, but will probably just do a summary post when I've made up all 6 types. All of them have their own special little problems, though the Rumpler looks like it might be the best of them (Just started that today). The S.E.5a and Fokker are close to completion, with the Nieuport and Rumpler just started today.

I don't see how anyone could possibly find anything to take issue with. Great job Mike!Doing pretty much only graphics this month. Besides the Forum stuff, here is a Comox Air Force Museum project I am working on:

The sight of that Matchbox model kit box really swelled the old nostalgia. When I was a kid back in the mid-70's those were the only kits we liked (Airfix was a touch too fiddly, and the Matchbox tank kits came with dioramas).
I have been painting and have 20 AIM planes to decal (MISCMINI). Maybe I can get one set of 3 done this week.
Just finished these tonight.
Attachment 250298Attachment 250299Attachment 250300
Got HE 111 bases and 1 deck of cards (will run em as a formation). Just need pegs for the bases...sigh.
Basic AIM models, just put a piece of wire in for the bow MG and antenna on top.
Nice. Dave said he was going on vacation so when gets back we may see some new planes in the next few weeks.
Looking great! I added a few Ares He-111's with V-1's under wing with micro magnets! Interesting they were not popular when they came out, now they are hard to find, even in white!
With the only game (and planes) in town being BoB it makes sense.
