    Guess no one has random projects this month.

    Been chewing away at my pile of 15mm Napoleonic lead the last month between a few jobs. Austrian army is starting to get a bit large from new units and serious revamping of the 30 year old figs. May have to start French next, gonna be a lot of reworking on them. Still need more flags and also need to work on clearer pics.

    The planes are sometimes on an accelerated timeline so I figure these tanks from summer 1917 could be too

    Thanks, Tim! They're 6mm, about 3.25cm long x 1cm wide tread to tread. That's the end of a toothpick in the upper-left corner of the pic.
    Pricey for what they are but found: here

    I got all my WW1 tanks from him: Renaults, Whippets, trucks and field guns, and he did up Lk IIs for me on request.
    I didn't think the prices were bad at all.

    nice tadpoles chris!

    yes, they were to better cross trenches ken, but the increased tread contact with the ground made them exceedingly hard to turn to the point of breaking down!!!! not that breaking down was all that uncommon for ww1 tanks lol.

    In anticipation of Thursday's action at Gritty Goblin Games, I decided I better finish some seaplanes I have had sitting around far too long. First a Hansa Brandenburg W.13 seaplane. It may be difficult to tell, but this model is about the same wingspan as a Caproni bomber. I need to put a big K number on both sides of the forward hull.

    For protection while on their bombing run, I have Gottfried Banfield's Oeffeg Type H, a one of a kind seaplane. It also needs a number and a really tiny cross on the side of the fuselage.

    I have finaly finisned stands that allows use of WOG planes in "In Clouds of Glory (ICOG)" game. Planes can be rotated freely in any position (even upside down), positioned one directly above the other and set in any heigth and I can swap planes between WOG and ICOG easily as desired. Can not wait to play with them.

    3mm carbon rods are sticked to the styrofoam board witch serves as playboard.

    Nice idea, Petr.
    I might use this for WGS planes if I want to fly them in Check Your 6.
