John,
Thanks for the link to the video. It was a treat to watch the two planes fly side by side. It's amazing that so little time passed between the two designs yet they are so very different. I'm going over to the Friendly Foes Above the Falls airshow in Niagara Falls this weekend. They will have a mix of WW1 and WW2 planes. Should be very interesting. Phil

Hi Phil,I thought you guys would enjoy it!It looks like when flying the Camel the pilot is busier than a one armed paper hanger.
 I have an old 1931 Ford A that I take out for a spin once in awhile, that keeps me busy adjusting throttle,mixture,spark,mechanical brakes and steering etc.....Multiply that by 10 to fly the Camel!!!!!!!! I'd love to have a few circuits though.

Cracked concrete base.
I accidentely allowed a acrylic paint and sand mix to dry in the bottom of a glass dish ,when I was experimenting with ground cover.I discovered it after a few days ,and then soaked it in water which released the whole thing in one piece.Rather than throw it out ,I put it aside again for awhile and it really dried out.
After weathering the gas pump I was looking for a concrete looking base to set it upon, when it again came to mind.So I broke the acrylic/sand piece into 3 different pieces and glued them to a piece of wood ,leaving the cracks a little open.When weathered it should fit right in!

Garbage Cans.
The can in the middle is an old plastic pill bottle and the ones on each end are plastic 35mm film canisters.
I sanded the surfaces and then took a hot curling iron and pressed in some bashes on their sides.The rusted through areas were drilled in with a rotary tool. The top is wood with a bent brass rod for a handle. I sprayed on black gesso and painted on Reid& Sons French blue acrylic with a brush. Next will come the weathering!(the fun part)
