Chaps,

Had a look at my "ongoing builds" and various "must make that", as well as "have to do that!!"....and just looking WITHIN REACH on my shelves and carefully arranged boxes.....I have around 30  or so TO MAKE this coming 12 months.

These include various items for "Iron Sky",Meerkats, Cybermen, Daleks, aircraft, Biggles-related, some IPMS Stafford stuff, etc., etc....

Most will appear at shows here and there, and also on my Facebook page (plus FB for IPMS Stafford, Biggles, IPMS, etc...). If I get round to it, I'll try sorting stuff out for the Gallery.

So....might as well reduce the stash..... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

So....apart from occasional favourites...I shall keep NO MORE than 2 examples of aparticular kit.
Mmmmm.
That'll shift about 15,000  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

The Wooksta!

My plan is to continue with The Plan, which shows no sign of getting smaller.

My plan is not to make any plans!!!
However, my INTENTIONS are ( and you know what they say about good intentions!) ;

R R Trent engined C-5A Galaxy (already started). I can hear kit collectors the world over screaming in anguish as I (horror of horrors!) actually BUILD the old Otaki C-5A
Avro Vulcan B4
B-49 - This will have extended wingtips (angled down), twin fins and, 6 over wing mounted TF-33 turbofans ( ex-B52). Inspired by the Revell Arado AR E555
and, talking of which, the Revell Arado AR E555 produced as the first operational jet bombers for the USAF/RAF
Westland /Douglas A2 Firedrake - licence built Wyvern replacing the AD-1 Skyraider
B-70 Valkyrie with GTD-21 drone
Boeing/BAC Triton maritime patrol aircraft - based on (if I can find one!!) the Airfix/Heller Boeing E3 ( I'll need the longer fuselage!)

We, however, will be cheering louder than their screams.

I plan on finally getting my naval Supermarine Swift done, it's past time I got my finger out.

...but I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing!

As for me... plans?

Most are probably uninteresting here, as they're just to continue on the Master Plan - one of every RW type operated by the RCAF/RCN/CAF since 1946 - though one of those *is* a whiffy, though I'd say probably the most common of Canadian whiffs: a CF-105 in operational markings.

I do have a small number of "proper" whiffy plans, though:

1. Finish the in-progress Sukhoi CA-234 "Rattler";

2. Once the package arrives, begin work on the Sukhoi CF-250 (still looking for a name... hoping to find something from First Nations lore, say Salish or Cree or Haida or Iroquois <now THIS gives me an idea!> that has to do with sneakiness)

3. Find something to do with the second Zvezda T-50 kit: at the moment leaning towards RAAF.

4. Decide whether to use my Starfix T-38 as a RW build (that'd make two CF-116s, though), or to whiffy it...
C-A-NZ-UK!

Helmeth von Moltke, Chief of the Imperial German staff made his personal motto, "No campaign plan survives first contact with the enemy".  It was actually Carl von Clausewitz in his seminal work, "On War", though who first coined it.   Mine enemy is the plastic/resin/etc that my models are made of and my plans for 2011 have failed to survive the encounter!  I don't expect those for 2012 will fair any better! ;D

Not possible. If it's Starfix then it's what we call a 'whif out of the box'.  ;D
