Good lord The_Beast - I posted this on January 24th, 2011 - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=25479.msg312517#msg312517- best part of 4 years ago!

OK, the spelling was so bad you may not have even realised the point was a request for a photo of a razor-handle aeronef.

You caught me; I don't go back through EVERY thread to which I've posted. Just most...  lol

And, yes, I see the 'Show replies' button.

Actually, the photography continues to be SO poor, it's taken this long to screw up courage to point it out. Also, the failure of paint to hit the dingus (one of the tail planes I added fell off) is even MORE embarrassing. Friends are really tired of me talking about ideas never completed.

As an aside, that's a chopped Aerotech Vengeance Carrier in front; with sides and tail pipe removed, I think it's a fair image of an old Traveller System Defense Boat. It's never seen paint, either...

My razors are still sitting in a plastic tub in my loft. It's not like I've done anything about sorting them out anyway. Some day...

Quite agree about the Leviathans, though the fact I see them for about 30% regularly mitigates immensely. For those of us paint aversive, better yet.

Those islands ARE fun, and not totally beyond my meager skills, just beyond my ability to stick to a project. :'(

Quote from: Steam Flunky
I will buy most of the smaller ships from Brigade Models as they are quite cheap (between 50p and £3.00) and for that price its not really worth building yourself unless you are a die hard scratchbuilder.


Agree completely, though, in my case, the smaller are doable in some real sense (see above), and cheap-and-cheerful is more easily forgiven en masse, which is appropriate for 30-50 hulls of gun-or-topedo boats.

Really looking forward to some dust ups from you and Mister Benbow!

Doug
