Title: Pulp Aircraft - Curtiss Goshawk
Post by: dominic on October 11, 2006, 11:20:01 PM: 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!

Post by: dominic on October 12, 2006, 04:11:54 PM: Operator5 - thanks! It took me 2 days and several resprays just to get the weathering to look right!

Post by: PeteMurray on October 12, 2006, 04:21:23 PM: 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!

Post by: Tri3 on October 13, 2006, 01:16:11 PM: That plane looks absolutely sweet. Great Job.

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

Post by: dominic on October 13, 2006, 01:31:20 PM: 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.

Post by: Tri3 on October 13, 2006, 02:19:31 PM: 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. :(

Post by: Neldoreth on October 13, 2006, 06:22:13 PM: 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!

Post by: dominic on October 14, 2006, 08:45:54 AM: Tri3 - The WI Limited Edition figure looks like it's wearing WW1 style uniform. The newer one from Artizan looks like it might be wearing WW2 RAF gear. So you have a choice if you want early or later Biggles!

Neldoreth - We've not tried planes in our games yet. I'll let you know if they work out fine.

Richard - how about some aircraft / airship / rocket troop rules for .45 Adventure?

Rocket Troops are in Amazing War Stories. Even some special abilities just for them.

If I do aircraft rules, they'll be similar to the original Crimson Skies rules which I thought were very cool. Still have the game and all the stuff for it. Even bought the clix version but never really enjoyed that one as much.

So many projects and so little time. :lol:

Now that I am back from vacation and can devote some time to working on my projects again, expect to see some new stuff going up soon.
Title: Pilots from Pulp Figures and Copplestone
Post by: warrenpeace on October 29, 2006, 11:48:15 PM: :) No need to scour eBay looking for pilot figures. Both Pulp Figures and Copplestone have excellent pilot figures available.
