Well folks here we are. . .the leaves are starting to fall. The thick cloak of winter will fall across our windowpanes in the coming months. If you do any serious modeling you probably have a few kits picked out for those nights when everyone else is letting sugar plums dance in their head. Pick up some new DVDs for the holidays, stock up on cheese, crackers, fruit, summer sausage, your favorite beverages get a new seat cushion for the chair at your hobby desk. New slippers for your feet and maybe even some holiday music. Sit back for a minute and ponder and let us know what will be on your hobby bench in the coming months. I'll start of with the hopes for the future and reminder of finished projects.

In-progress 1:48 there is of course my two dioramas;
1. Issoudon Repair Shop building, 10 Nieu 21 and 1 Nieu. 24 and the building ready to put on a base. ..so far.
2. German aircraft turn in depot EOW 22 various kits..so far.

5. 2@ WNW Albatros D.V / Va (one each).
6. 2@ WNW Sopwith Pups (one Naval one RFC).

Completed this last year in 1:48.

Greetings Stephen and everyone

We're having great autmn weather here in my part of the world. Clear crisp blue skies and cold mornings – great for picking mushrooms in the woods if you're so inclined... or reviewing the kit stash – I'm doing both

At the moment I'm trying to get my two WNW albatroses moving forward, with the 11 november looming, I'm still hoping to get one of them finished for the group build.

After they are finished I've got a few boxes lined up – all in 1:32:

Rodens DH2
Hobbycrafts Nie 17 (here I've got Mastercasters interior and cowling + hopefully Maurice Bayous serpent thanks to Mike Taylor/SPADA to boost things up a bit)

Then – perhaps:

Rodens Triplane
WNW Pup

And also :

WNW Bristol
Rodens Spad VII
WNW Junkers

The order of these may change around a bit – and if WNW releases the Fokker DVII or the Fe2b this will get priority I think...

I guess this list should take me through this winter at least – Oh and I'll probably need another displaycase too

Best Regards

Mikael

All in-progress from the past I hope to finish.

Choroszy Nie.17bis
Eduard Albatros D.V (two of 'em, but I'll try to finish at least one)
Omega Morane-Saulnier Type AC

Maybe others, but those three I would like to finish soon.

Oh yea, they're all 1/72. All other scales are conspiracies.

1:72
Eduard Albatros D.V
Eduard Dr.I

I'll not get through all that. But it should keep me out of trouble through the long dark Scottish winter.

WW1 ones done this year so far.
A couple of Dr.I kits Airfix and Eduard
A Revell Camel and a Roden D.VII

Like Matt all 1:72 although I'm branching out next year.
