    In a parallel universe I am deeply involved in Free Flight Scale, this fall I placed four events, one that I had not expected was a traveling memorial for Walt Mooney, a founder of one of our events back in the 60's.

    Dave the Lancaster is wonderful but I really like the pedalo thing in the 1st 2 photos, the frame work is very neat. What is it?

    Ken these are up to your usual high standards, looking forward to the Black Seas ships.

    Those German paras look quite business-like, Ken - great work there, to be sure!

    Very crisp work on those pups Florian.
    They certainly will not get bested in a dog fight, and nor will Dave's by the look of them.

    A little BSG love this month - the SW:X-W 'larger ship' "Hound's Tooth" from the Scum and Villany faction - turned it upside down and re-pegged it...

    Finally got my Sopwith Dolphin Complete. My daughter keeps wanting to play with it. Gives new meaning to "So Long and Thanks for the Fish!" Sorry for some of the flash glare. Use a gloss coat on this one and it wasn't happy with the flash.

    Thanks Wayne, the man was way ahead of his time, we're only just catching up with microlights.

    Florian those are really well built Pups, youve certainly cracked how to get a good glued joint on the struts, I've tended to reinforce my joints and get a big blob of epoxy glue which looks unsightly but is strong - so far Very nice.

    Florian, excellent work on the Pups.

    Dave, excellent work on the Pups - most lifelike The Lanc is fantastic by the way. Congrats on the competition redults.

    Ken, good job on the figures.

    Matt, liking what you are doing with the X-Wing stuff for BSG. Given me food for thought on how to re-purpose all my X-Wng models that I don’t use any more.

    Sorry it's not very aerodynamic but this is what's been keeping me away from WW1 planes, and it might give our American cousins a bit of a smile. I've been painting some of the inhabitants for my New Mexico town of Little Whiskey.

    Lovely work as always, Dave - and like Tim, I like the Triplane - reminds me of your captured Nieuport...

    Your Western town is just stupendous, John Truly magnificent (and more than seven...) I have always wanted to do Wild West skirmish - your set-up would make this such a joy.

    Well done everyone.
    Got some Bristol Scouts to do myself, Dave, but it looks like 2020 before I will be up to it.
    I like the CDL colour you used on both your models.

    John, I would have expected a Pirate scene with all your RRRs lately - but your Wild West looks great.
    A definite step away from the usual pics.

    Thanks for the kind comments on the town, I have a couple of friends coming up from the deep south for a few days of gaming and this is my contribution, although we shall have at least 1 game of Wings and one of Sails.
