When I first joined the forum I was given to understand (assuming my memory is not playing up again) that fsn is an avid aviator ...

Does having a butterfly mind count?  :D

I'm just waiting until I've bought all the Brunswickers I need, then I'll be all grapeshot and uhlan.

Unless I happen to see a video about the ACW ... though there was that thing about the Chinese using Pz I's which was interesting ... unless the Korean War figs appear from Pendraken ... which leads me to believe I'll next be painting triremes.

Yes. Your wight it's waining in Liverpool. And I bet its waining in Wuncorn too.


PS I still don't know what a wax 5 is.


Is Techno complaining that his undoubtedly manly styling product of choice will not survive the journey Nor-East?

For a style icon like Techo, this would indeed be most upsetting.

Sorry you were disappointed, Nobby. :D

I think its proper name is a "wax carver no.5".

Hmmm ... maybe, Techno. Just maybe.

Bloomin' 'eck! I've done it again! I've finished another project! This time, the French Armee de l'Air. Apologies for the quality of the photos.

The French: Bombers in green and brown, fighters in tri-colour camouflage.


The Italians. 12 SM79s in green. Far too many types of fighters based on the CR42 in mottles scheme.


What next? Well, I've just ordered the last batch of Brunswickers so perhaps I may try my first Pendraken figures for my 2nd favourite period. Alternatively, since I'm doing so well on aircraft, I've got some Pacific War (couldn't decide on 1942 or 1944 so went for both), or British bombers I picked up at Phalanx in June. Still waiting for Dom to come through with the decals for Korea, so that's on hold.

I mucked up some 1:3000 British 1940 Mediterranean ships - so they could do with a Dettol bath and a second go.

I could make a start on the WWII Poles - but I haven't bought all the cavalry - so I don't want to start until I've shelled out for them.    

Oh! I know. I found the first lot of farm animals that I bought when they came out. Perhaps them?

But I have been listening to Xenophon's Anabasis whilst painting the French. I really want to do some hoplites.
