Thanks Mike,:D Anything that keeps me out of the General Discussion Forum has to be looked upon as positive! ;) -Moe

Steve, thank you so much! Same model, different background: -Moe

Thank you, Steve:D -Moe

Thank you:D -Moe

I checked the WB Faceboook page, but didn't find any mention of the development. Would love to know what made it over on the boat. I've been dutifully checking in, here, for months now. -Moe

Jenkins' little Boeing fighter over Pearl Harbor: -Moe

Matt, Jenkins had the DH.2 in the works for several years. I don't think that he could get the model where he wanted it at the original price-point of his model planes, $180-$230. When the model was finally released, it was priced at the absolute limit of many collector's sensibilities...

Nice work, Wayne:salute:: -Moe

That's true of resin vs wooden subjects in general. I'd also note that surface detail and parts definition translates far better with resins than wood. Still, mahogany has it's charms, character if you will, and collectors keep buying. Put another way, I don't view the turrets solely as scale...

Thanks Wayne:D -Moe

Yes, the graphic came with the quote from SD Model Makers.

Admittedly not the best image that I've ever produced, but it's sorta fun, at least, so I thought that I'd share it: This is another example of perspective being forced on a subject. In this case, the model appears set back against a foreground of poppies. -Moe

Mike, I think that some of the figs are Thomas Gunn sets.

Very insightful. And one of the tigers apparently had two claws, and another four. And why would two sets consist of only light-shaded scratches, while the other two are BOTH LIGHT AND DARK??? I SERIOUSLY suspect that this sort of thing is why some TS-Makers don't want to get involved in WW2...

This is Jenkins' only 2-seater, a Roland C.IIa Walfisch:

Legos are great fun for kids, a way that they can translate images into a physical product. As a child, I did the same sort of thing with Tinkertoys. -Moe

Today's output, another view of one of Jenkins' best models, the Collishaw Sopwith Triplane:

Spectacular Robin! -Moe
