Beautiful work. I have thought of doing something like this but then I look at my little black cat and she looks at me.......yummy wood. Then I would have to put the battery in my 1/6 scale RC tank an chase her.

Hey topgun,I know of which you speak.One of my cats years ago ate the ends off the yards off my HMS Victory model.That required a month or so to repair.It seems that as they get older though,they prefer to sleep.I hope.Cheers! John.

I plan to have the basketcase Jenny JN4d in somewhat the same condition as depicted in the photo as there is not enough room in the diorama to accomodate the wingspan of the 2nd aircraft.

Ken Foran has done it again! Take a look at the new pics of his beautiful Camel over on wwi-models.org For accuracy and detail his work,in my opinion.is the best.
