Here's another I found via the x-planes blog on Tumblr, a Shinden/X-wing fantasy craft:

It's just so mind-numbingly brilliant.

An armor guy, who builds airplanes almost exclusively, that he converts to space fighters-- all while admiring ship models.

neat MaK spacefighter with Karma-Sutra Tripartite Association markings.

you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

What a brilliant idea.  I have always wanted to do an Air Show diorama so I could showcase multiple models at the same time in a setting that works.
This would make a great club or SIG display.  Lots of kits in 72nd that could be used and populate the show with some Preiser figs...

for some really nice artwork try http://www.rodneymatthews.com
Not a lot of Whif, mostly sci-fi & fantasy, but some neat stuff especialy -- http://www.rodneymatthews.com/hmhero.htm & http://www.rodneymatthews.com/icespirit.htm
Certainly one of the two best artists I've seen (along with Christopher Foss).
You may recognise some of his characters in childrens TV shows & books.

I got his Ice Spirit poster in 1977 & it's even more awesome than on the computer screen.
Some of his insect rockband pics are good too -- keep an eye out for the Tigermoth bi-plane in the background of one !!

I'm pretty keen on the 'Heavy Metal Hero'.  Seems like an oppurtunity for Revell's Big Boy:

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.

Here's another one from X-planes, part of his Sunday Fantasy series.  The caption reads:

"BLACK ANGEL FLIGHT LOG:
12/24/44: Dover Harbour
Encounter w/ Luftwaffe Zombie Squadron"
