One more S.E.5a pic, and Mick Mannock goes back in the curio cabinet:

A second view of the S.E.5a model:

Wayne, Your pics are constantly improving. Very nice one above:cool: -Moe

Hi Al, Jenkins mentioned that he had "retooled" two of his KotS models in the company's news update this week. As I count them, there are only four of the old-tool versions left, and one of them, the Fokker triplane, has apparently taken the form of a Werner Voss Dr.1. That leaves us with three...

Another view of the Brown Camel:

This is Jenkins' Mannock S.E.5a: I haven't taken pics of this model in at least six years, the curio having swallowed the set and so fiercely hung on. ;) -Moe

Thank you, Wayne.:) I'm really hoping that Jenkins will "retool" its Sopwith Camel. To be honest, it doesn't measure up well against more recent efforts, the maker's Sopwith Triplane, for instance. -Moe

Guy, Your dioramas are always marvelous:salute:: France 1940 is such an interesting military campaign. Like the early ACW battles, it's a shame that it went the wrong way. So many lives could have been spared. -Moe

This is Jenkins' Roy Brown Camel: I find JJD Camels difficult to image effectively. Seems like no matter what I do, they tend to come out looking like a toy:redface2: -Moe

Wayne, You did a great job of blending the base and backdrop on this one:salute:: -Moe

Crews appear to have gotten carried away with making the Walfisch "homier" at times.

Thanks Matt, Here are Wayne's and Louis' model pics on a different background: About the only limit on the background is what you can locate and frame up using Google maps. Quite a tool there. -Moe

Got 'em, Louis! For our other readers... Basically, what I was suggesting to Wayne was creating a pic made up of three layers. One layer would be an aerial view of the Thames River in London, a second of his model '109, and, thanks to Alec, a third of a He111. To make the three pics mesh...

Well, darned if the pics didn't disappear. Will PM you an email address. -Moe

Louis, These should be fine. :) Please thank Alec for me! -Moe

Great pic, Wayne:cool:

Louis, a request... Could you ask Alec to shoot the model against a white background, a sheet perhaps, towel, or poster-board? It'll make it easier to make the bomber layer transparent.

Hi Louis, Sure, we can turn this into a teachable moment! :)

Nice work, Wayne.:salute:: Found a color backdrop that you can try: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.bbcimg.co.uk%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2F55254000%2Fjpg%2F_55254323_3.-aerial-view.jpg&f=1&nofb=1 The image above can be enlarged considerably without noticeable...
