Oooooh, nice tankage!
Oooooh, nice tankage!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Nice job on those tanks. Love the camo on the German one. BattleFront makes WWI tanks for their Great War game but those look to be resin models.
The ships did make it onto a table.

Just back from the painting elves . .
Thud Pilots documentry off of Amazon Prime .
. . very well done so I needed a Thud
Then I found this unmarked tool box on the shelf . . . Seems this is where a large order of BoB planes disappeared . . .
Nice pair of He111's in dark camo, really do not remember doing these . . .
And the outer workbench . . .
That box is a treasure chest!
Great job David. Funny I just got 3 THUD's from Dave (AIM) but I know my paint job will not match yours.
Last month I did some Thai Hawk's. Over the months I have done a few for different air forces. Other then the Hawks and a few other American planes the Thais also had Japanese planes from before the start of WWII and then when the Japanese occupied Thailand. Here are some Ki 30 ANN's.

#10

The aircraft number in Thai is on the tail.

Awesome, not many know the colorful Thai airforce even existed, lovely work showing it off. Any information on pioneer aircraft in your vast catalog?
Nice work... also no idea there was a Thai airforce.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
For some reason the paint shrunk up and made the wings a little bit bumpy.
Me neither.
Finished up the three griffons for my "Jasta Greif" game for Origins - now on to finishing the six German planes to fly alongside them...
All things considered, I am pleased with how these little beasties turned out - they are lovely little models. I had Keith make some custom bases for them, and I need to order one more (operator error ruined one as I was finishing them up...)
All the best,
Matt
Very nice Matt. Hmmmm, I hope the schedule allows me to get into this game.
Maybe, but the paint acts like a really thick bubble.
What brand of paint are you using, Daniel? I have never had anything like this happen when I repaint a plane...
All the best,
Matt
FolkArt
And Patio Paint, (don't know where these came from I just found them in our paint box).
Chris I posted a YOU TUBE video about the RTAF museum. Its in the Officer Club section. It will give you an idea of what they had. When they fought the French in late 1940 their AF was actually better then the French. The Thais had 24 H75's and the French had only 9 Ms 406's. In 1940 the Thais had Sally,s and Ann's. Later they had Nate's and Oscar's. I still have the Sally's and Nate's to paint.

I have used Folk Art on other projects, Daniel, and I find it a bit thick - I think if I were going to use it on small planes, I would thin it a bit with water - maybe two parts paint and one part water...
Nate, the griffons are for D&D - I am using them for a scenario with WWI planes - late war. I will post the rules in the files section once I finish them. I have played two play-test sessions, and they work pretty well. The griffons have no ranged combat - they must close and melee...
Beautiful work, Bob, on your SE Asian planes - WW2 and more modern. They would go nicely with Dave's Thud and F-86...
All the best,
Matt
Haven't painted the 105's yet. Awhile ago I mentioned to Kevin that all his Viet Nam US decals were for Navy planes. Last month I get an email that he did some USAF ones. Now I have to get 3 mort F-4's for the 433r TFS. That's the squadron Robin Olds commanded and did operation BOLO.
These are the F4's I did but for another unit. Got the decals before Kevin did his.
thanks!
theyre a mix of "the great war; tank expansion" and "flames of war" minis. i got them because ive always wanted some ww1 tanks (though i originally wanted 1/35 scale) and to use in a "savage worlds; weird war one" rollplaying campaign (think ww1 meets zombies and dragons).

Wow, Mike - that is spectacular! The design is just fine the way it is Could I request that you change the Damage from B deck to A deck, though? I have the griffons rated as A damage, especially as they have to close to melee to inflict damage...
You are a marvel
All the best,
Matt

No names - a generic card will be just what the Kaiser ordered...
Thanks again for such wonderful accessories!
All the best,
Matt
Hmmm... I couldn't find a card for this on the Forum. For any Ki-30, actually. Anyone else know of one?

[Edited: Now showing "10" rather than "Ten"]
The script on the card back is supposed to be the Thai numerals for "10". I guess they don't use 1 and 0 to make the number as we do. Things you learn doing cards...

Greetings Daniel. Sorry to see the paint go bad! I used to use all the range of such paints and had this happen once. Some of the craft paints are acrylic and some are an acrylic enamel which over time tend to gel and thicken. Thinning them out with water can help, but if two paints mix wet or nearly dry they can have such a reaction. I soaked the model in hot soapy water, removed the paint and started over with a new bottle of paint. Since those days I have settled on Valaro (sp) paints and they have been a delightful change and are now available at Hobby Lobby stores in the model department. Carry on! What scale is the Spitfire? Looks cool.
Mike that is fantastic. Wasn't expecting that. I will ask the wife what number that is but I know it isn't 10. When she get back I will have her look. Yes they used Thai writing for their numbers on the planes.
Here is a clearer photo of the planes. The middle one is # 11. The first squiggles are #1 in Thai.
OK Mike. The wife just came home and told me the difference. What I have on the plane is 11, Thai numbers. What you have on the card is the word TEN (SIP) in Thai. So it would be like having the planes number 10 rather then Ten.
