Seeing that latest image of it on your workbench I’m quite taken aback by how big it is. A seriously impressive project!  8) :-*
My LAF Gallery is HERE

Thanks for your encouraging word. Like many of my projects it has taken much longer than I hoped so they are appreciated.

I am currently working on the finishing touches of this pieces. Beside aircraft and military gear there should also be some personal effects scattered about when a plane in a transport function is broken up. A few busted open duffel bags and trunks with contents all ahoy seemed appropriate. So what's in a soldier's bag? Naturally, I googled 'Jazz+Age+Erotica"...




French postcard. Don't giggle, it could be you grandmother posing!



Gentlemens' Paphlet from the early 30's. 'Real French Capers', I just love that mildly naughty double entendre.

I feel I have to shrink these to the appropriate size and scatter them about the base. Noone will see what they are but *I* will know. :-)

That’s odd! I did the same search and was deluged with images of an elderly and naked Benny Goodman doing something very interesting with his er ‘clarinet’.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

That's because the search algorithm keeps track of your usual search patterns.  ;)

Yes, Google knows all too well my consuming passion for Jazz. Not sure why Siri kept prompting responses for ‘jiz’. Probably my accent. That’s why I switched her off. :)

Things are getting racy on the North West Frontier!

Not sure the Afridis and Mohmands will approve if they come across these "propaganda leaflets" of yours, H.

Ah but surely Hammers is wily enough to print off miniature goolie chits for each of his survivors?

Failing that, some hair dye to paint their hair red and sire a thousand children after capture?

If you stretch your mind back a bit, Carlos, you may recall I own one of those very chits (the exact same one), I posted a thread about it here some years ago.

Unfortunately that one in particular contains a lot of guff about the Japanese, which might go some way to muddy the waters even more. If they have acquired a taste for mucky books and get wind of what the Japanese have to offer, then the Frontier will be ablaze with schoolgirls and tentacles.

And we don't want that.
