    Well, this wasn't very difficult nor is it as amazing as some of the other posts in this thread, but I am proud of what I have done here. I like playing Hornet Leader by DVG games. The only issue I have has is that my carrier is just a piece of 8x11 paper. Yes, that is right a piece of paper.

    I have been looking at aircraft carrier models for a while. I have not really found any I like. They are either too big or too expensive for what I want to do. Most of the models I looked at cost more than the game itself. Also, with all my other projects laying around half finished do I really need to start an aircraft carrier. Well......why not, but I really don't need to do that. Then I found the solution at the local hobby store. A 3D model of the USS Enterprise. It is pretty close to the correct scale and was only ten dollars.

    Spent the evening putting the beast together. I have to say, it is a bit bigger than I thought but is does look pretty nice for what it is.

    That's pretty darn cool for $10. Besides that it's better than a sheet of paper.

    That is sooo Cool! Now, if they did WWII carriers, they'd probably have issues keeping it in stock.

    Here are 2 more SPADs (SHAPEWAYS) but with rockets. These are thanks to our own jbmacek. Again I just put together some of Kevin's decals on these planes.

    Here is a shot of my repainted SW:X-W C-ROC cruiser redone for Battlestar Galactica - just finished spraying the Dullcote on it this morning. Both it and the redone Hound's Tooth sport the lion's head decal to indicate they are from the Leonis Colony. I am toying around with names for both ships now, based on stars from the constellation of Leo...

    This was a fun ship to repaint, just like the HT, with more to it, of course. I had to decide when to stop with detail painting and dirtying it up. Enough seemed to be enough... I will post a few more shots of it in the BSG larger ships thread.

    All the best,

    An update on the martian cylinder I've been working on. I have the final hatch printed and ready to go and I've been working on the paint. I want to make it true to the description in the book. I've also been working on some gauges for damage and altitude and other pointers for special damage for a game cockpit.

    Most of the cockpit will be laser cut out of 3mm plywood, the pointers and gauges will be 3d printed.

    Here is the cockpit Mk I. Now that it is cut I can see some adjustments I need to make but overall I'm pleased with it.

    Starships, zeppelins and cockpits all look great. Can't wait to see the final zeppelins and MKI cockpit. I agree with you Matt, sometimes it's hard to know when to stop. It's looking ready for the stars.

    Other than building and painting a sleigh and team of six, I am doing some graphic work.

    My latest squirrel is based on a drawing I have seen for the C-47 Skytrain/Dakota transport plane, which showed a dorsal turret just aft of the cockpit. I'm trying to find any photographic evidence that this was even trialed for US aircraft (lots of evidence that the Russian Li-2 had dorsal guns). Anyone got something on this?

    One image I did find was this:

    This is photographic evidence of a trial fitting of .50 cal MGs in the fuselage, but again, I can't find any other written corroboration that these were ever used in the field by US/RAF units.

    This drawing shows the bomber version of the Li-2, with the pilots and bombadier seated in the front, a dorsal turret just aft of the cockpit, two mid-aft waist gunners, and a ventral tail gunner:

    Loving your SPAD work, Bob! I'm used to seeing your WW2 and psot-war stuff - these look great, too Loving your Tripods console, too, Robert - particularly the use of the actual icons is really cool. If you decide to market these, I would love to purchase a couple...

    Great work, indeed!

    Now that is something i never knew existed. Thanks you for that post. Even though I’m primarily a WWI fan,anything with wings is fascinating to me. I wonder how many other gems like this are buried in archives around theglobe?

    This looking fantastic! Unfortunately my ‘rep’ magazine is empty otherwise some would be coming your way!

    I would love to get the stl files for the cylinder hatch. Do you plan to market them? Also cockpits for the tripods would be a winner. I have lots of sketches brewing but am yet to get it to a point where I’m satisfied enough to commit the ideas to a hot print bed!

    Thanks Matt. I saw those rocket SPADS in SHAPEWAYS and thought they would go good with the ARES Nieuports. Something to shoot balloons and tripods with.

    As for marketing these and the martian cylinder hatch, I would love to but I can't unless I get a laser and 3D printer of my own. I can use the stuff at work for myself but I can't profit from it. I'll work on a version that will fit common mail tubes and get the STL files to those that want them.

    Great paint job Ken. You need to remove the bi pods from some as the Marines took them off. Seems Japanese snipers picked them out as targets.

    ...while this picture shows one with plaster joint compound 'iced' over the cylinder. You can see the outline of the spiral construction of the cardboard cylinder...

    ...so I patched a bit more joint compound on in spots to hide the spiral.

    Here's a close-up of the texture - a bit rougher than I want, so the next step will be to do some light sanding. I want some texture, but not quite this much...

    Next will be to build up and texture the ground around the imbedded cylinder to make it look more appropriate to the impact. More to follow...

    All the best,

    With 2 cylinders and roughly 5 tripods each that's going to be one hell of a fight Matt.

    Those are looking great Matt. If you give me the inside and outside diameters I could print some hatches for them if you’re interested.

    Can't wait to see the finished product. They will look great.

    I rather like the rough surface . . . they did travel a long way, enter our atmosphere and slam into our planet . . . they do look like bugs on the windshield, leathery flat and globby . . .

    Roughly the same view as the previous post, if a bit closer, but after a little sanding to soften the texture - I like this much better...still rough enough that it will paint and wash and dry-brush nicely, but not so 'crude' as the unsanded version. I think it would hold up nicely on the long way from Mars to Earth

    A lot of the ones i just researched had the same sort of surface. Just what you would expect on earth atmosphere entry really.

    A perfect idea with the surface, Harry.

    Thanks, Andy and Rob - I like the cylinder's surface more as time goes on. Here is Round 1 of building up the torn-up ground where the descending cylinder penetrated the ground. I am using a product called Model Magic made by the Crayola Company - it is very light and dries in air. It comes four 8-ounce packs to the box - this is one pack's worth...I figure it will take a couple of more applications to get things to the point where I can put dirt and gravel and texture on the groundwork...

    Thanks for your encouraging words! More to come as the week progresses...

    All the best,

    Looking good Matt. Great addition to the game. I have an order from Shapeways being processed and an order from AIM that should be in soon. both should keep me busy for next month and these will be something different. One set is inspired by Andy (NIGHTBOMBER).

    I've been messing around with making a wet palette for my paints.
    This has the advantage of keeping paint wet for a longer period (doesn't dry up easily unlike a normal palette), and I've found that I don't have to thin my paints due to a small amount of water being slowly absorbed by the baking paper.
    After looking around and see what people recommended I decided to do a test myself.
    I went out and bought some cellulose sponge cloths from Wilko, Tesco own-brand Baking paper, and a tupperware/generic plastic tub - all in all about £3.

    I'm glad to report that it works perfectly, and I'm starting to get back into painting my 40K models.
