More Airship Ventures Zeppelin NT!  I am really enjoying seeing this ship overhead and hope it stays around for a while.  It seems l to handle like the smaller blimps, but is big enough to give an impression of what a real 1910's- 1930's rigid would have been like to see.  Just tickled pink to see this as part of my skyscape every day.

Lotsa jet noise about this morning, then went for a walk round the village with the missus and saw a Tonka then 30 seconds later 2 Eagles in close formation.  Wonder if its all to do with the Italian Typhoons at Coningsby? (Wish I'd known earlier, I could've nipped down this morning  :( )

The new darker scheme looks really good in real life!!!

Wow....that's a real beauty ! Very US special forces......I like how much the different lighting really changes the colour.

Were it not for the horrible simple 4 blade props, and much too small engines, one would think it had just come off the production line! :wub:

Its not the workbench that makes the model, it is the modeler at the workbench.

Not a plane, but I was driving out of Weymouth the other day, and passed a Warrior IFV parked on the side of the road...
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

If that was the main Weymouth to Dorchester road, a Warrior is a good vehicle to have!!!!

Airliners also get bloody boring when they are over head all day, every day!! I live under the western TCA for Heathrow airport and all I ever get to see is airliners of all shapes and sizes....

Too bloody right! Awful bit of road, that. Just as you go over the top of the hill and start to go down to Dorchester. The crew were sat on top looking bored - must be tempting to just roll over the traffic at a time like that...

That reminds me, I saw several Saxon APC's just trundling through Hull a few weeks ago, no idea why.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Personally, I'd rather take pot shots at random cars with that 30mm pop gun in the turret. Mich more fun!!
