Something new from me.  An old Lindberg Line 1/48 kit that I managed to win on Ebay.  I love the colourful US pre-war paint schemes!

Fantastic work Dom. I've never been able to get my vehicles to look "used". they always end up too bright.

Operator5 - thanks!  It took me 2 days and several resprays just to get the weathering to look right!

It looks great! The between-wars US biplanes are my favorite fighter planes of all time. The kit came out great, and I hope the plane does well in your games!

That plane looks absolutely sweet.  Great Job.

Who makes that pilot figure who is standing?  Great paint job on him as well.

Tri3, thanks for your comment.

The standing figure is a limited edition Wargames Illustrated Biggles figure (given free to subscribers in I don't know which year).  It is now very hard to find and can cost up to $20 (10 British Pounds) on Ebay.

Darn,

I was afraid of that.  It really looks sweet.  

Artizan has one, but I like yours a little better.



The funny thing is Artizan just released another figure called Captain Biggleswade.  Too bad they couldn't have released the same figure. :(

That place is fantastic. It is painted superbly! I also like the fact that you have kicked up the scale of your games to include things like planes! Do you have rules to use it or is it a terrain type piece? Either way, it would add very much to any game it was included in!

Keep them coming!
