    I am now the proud owner of 7 of Davids models. My favorate is the Dorneir RSIII. They look good in pictures, but it is not untill you get an actual model that you can see up close the skill David has (and he mass produces them) So I would recogmend to anyone who is thinking of purchaseing one or more of Davids Models do so I belive you will not regret it and your collection will never be complete without one of Davids models.

    WWII 1/144" scale F-Toys! The elves uncovered a stash of these whilst cleaning the shop. I am interested in trading or selling them - make me an offer. The boxes were opened to check contents but the models were not removed. So far there are one each Zero 3A, 3B, 3C; Focke Wulf 190D 1A, 1B, 1C





    Make me an offer I cannot refuse, looking for all three Ares Bf 110's, Sopwith Triplanes, Gloster Gladiators . . . or Paypal gotta make room for some aircraft carriers : )

    Yes Tim, I have 3 left in the camo in the smaller 1/214" scale size, they sell for $125 USD and the latest postage to the UK was $49-seems the winter rates are in effect . . . more headwinds I guess . . . Dave

Priority Mail should arrive within 5 business days, (what ever those are) Customs Form # CW731584456US and yes the Readies arrived! Thanks and enjoy!

    SWMBO just saw this, and suggested a different, less complimentary, name. Although not nice, it is strangely appropriate.

    The name was a suggestion for a new cat we were acquiring, but didn't use (although it would have been appropriate, too). The name is "STYLB". Pronounced "Still-bee", it is an acronym for "Stop That, You Little Bastard".

    No malice or defamation is intended, but it made me laugh, so I thought I'd share.

    Mike

  20. #70

    Default

    Considering that STYLB lost out as the cat's name.

    What did you name the cat ?

  21. #71

    Default

    Nothing as funny.

    The cat ended up with "Yukkiko". He is a white, Devon Rex. We just didn't want to name him "Snowflake", or some other obvious name. Yukkiko is Japanese for "Snow Child", or "Lucky Child".

    And, yeah. He still gets called "STYLB", occasionally.

    The RNZAF ones looked like this:

    The RNZAF initially operated Four Mk III Sunderland Transport aircraft (NZ4101-4104). The transport variant of the Sunderland was originally developed for BOAC from the standard Mk.III in 1942, and began international operation in March 1943. These unarmed aircraft had the military equipment removed, fairings over the turret positions and an improved interior catering for 24 to 30 passengers. In January 1944 the British Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs offered the New Zealand Government four at a very reasonable rate. Although the sale was initially opposed by the US (which saw the aircraft as potential post-war airliners), the aircraft were delivered by air (taking a westerly route through Africa and the Americas) between October and December 1944. Officially brought on charge on December 4th, the aircraft were allocated to the Flying Boat Transport Flight and based at Hobsonville. After repainting and interior reconfiguration for the combined passenger/freight role, the aircraft began operation in February 1945. The routes were primarily Auckland-Fiji, and Auckland-Noumea-Espiritu Santo. With the end of the war the aircraft were heavily involved in repatriating service personnel until they were laid up at the end of 1945.

    The four aircraft were:

    ML792 NZ4101 'Tainui'
    ML793 NZ4102 'Tokomaru'
    ML794 NZ4103 'Mataatua'
    ML795 NZ4104 'Takitimu'

    Just caught the note about the cat not named STYLB...we have a dog almost named Ellis...a stylized version of L.S....aka "Little Sh*t". Wound up with another name also...but like your cat occasionally lives up to his "Jellico name".

    On a less esoteric note, a friend of my sons had a Labrador called Deefor, and yes we were all stupid enough to ask him why.

    Have you considered marketing just the basic foam Zeppelin fuselage - think "owner completion" - in 1/144? I might have some buyers...

    Hey Bob, just remembered this. I did offer partial kits at one time and would still but the hull is the biggest part of the construct, bringing it to painting surface is the most labor intensive bit. Then the fin anchoring, and the gondola mounts, it gets complicated. I just poured molds for the new gondolas and props so the process is getting further developed each build. Status pictures will be coming out soon on the build thread now that I have some of my life back : ) Cheers!

    So this is you? I remember this a few years ago and almost ordered one, are they still available? I used your pictures as inspiration for an indoor electric foam R/C Staaken, but got distracted with the Zeppelin Project. PM me when you get some time. Dave

    I too was interested in buying your airplane. I too got distracted and lost the thread. Are your airplanes still available? Clipper, I'm still interested in your zeppelins. If they become available again, I would like one as well.

    The elves are currently cranking on the Zeppelin Assembly Line. Will be posting them as available in a month of so, so watch this space . . . 14 are being assembled in 1/144" scale . . . most all the aircraft are still available with the inclusion of all the "Pour Me" Series on the Metal/Resin Hobby Thread. Enjoy!

    Finally have the little guys sorted! These are molded foam and nice and light, come with bases and sliding altitude wires for altitudes of 5" to 8"



    While they last there are 15 of them ready to lift off!



    Going for $10 each or 3 for $25 plus shipping . . . PM to order, thanks!

    SO SORRY - Sold out already! Will get the elves back into production if more are requested. Thanks all!

    Hey Sam, the flying boats have expanded into several, Mavis, Emily, Sunderland, and I am working up the Mariner and Mars - all in 1/200" scale for the game. Prices range on raw or painted models and their complexity. More pictures one of these days to update the list, many are and have been featured in my "Pouor me . . . " threads in the Hobby Room metal & resin section.
