Nicely done!  :-*

So say we all! My favorite part is the bow on shot of the canards. Really feels like a properly cobble, though, as captain, I'd complain a triffle about my field of vision diminished a bit.  lol

Love all the little details like the rockets and that gadget in front of the steering wheel.  :)

I wondered about that myself; could be a simple compass, or a fiendish device that includes inclination, or even a tracking globe, ala the movie LXG's Nautilus'.

<q>It held aloft with the patented Antigravatical Gyrometre (the upper node of which can be seen on the aft deck)</q>

which would be the thingy in front of the helm I believe.  ;)

I cry foul!

He actually READS posts!  lol

Thank you, James.

Edit: I suspect the navigation information is in the wheel itself. A heads-down display...

Thanks for all the kind replies.
This turned out to be a bit of a love/hate project. When I started I loved it - Half way through painting it I hated it. But now I love it again. :-*
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Now that is an aeronef that I would love to see on the table. Beautifully done.
