Lightbulb Please note

For anyone wanting to build a Bleriot XI or a military version, I have access to not only the model shown here in the models section but the real thing in 1:1 scale. See the Airplane ,Replica section of this website.
Presently I am doing research on the Bleriot XI "Scarabee" that flew from a field at Lakeside(Valois) here on the West Island of Montreal ,almost 100 years ago.It was the first airshow/airmeet in Canada and preformed the first flight over Montreal.
Unfortunately,both the model and the 1:1 at CAHC are not true representations of Scarabee but I do have lots of info on the real thing which I plan to present here as I get time to do so.The military version I understand is very accurate.I have taken 100s of close up pics from a modelers point of view and when finished this will be a goldmine for future Bleriot builders ,both scratch or otherwise.

I made a few small vignettes using the backyard and the crashed Albatros.

Smile More fun with vignettes

While I am working on the early stages of building the facade,I thought that I would put up a few pics of the crashed Albatros sitting in the backyard of the backyard flier diorama.(lots more on my photobucket,look for the Albatros album.)When the backyard is finished with all the landscaping in place,I will submit better pics without clothes lines , bird feeders,porch railings and sun canopies etc... Eventually I will be taking a lot of pics of my 1/18th scale old car collection using this backyard, before shipping it off to the museum.
