Meanwhile, I seem to have regained my modelling mojo.

To which we all reply  HUZZAH

Completed glueing together a couple of 1/72nd Wildcats (HobbyBoss)....need a touch of filler before priming. Both will be RN/RAF in the North African Desert for the BIGGLES display.
Might do a USAAF F4F-4 too...similar scheme.

The 1/35th "creation" might have Vampires flying it rather than Zombies, as I've got some Rumanian decals sorted.

Proper got my mojo back.....full steam ahead.....

Primed in Grey today:

2 x 1/72nd F4F Wildcats (to be RAF)

A couple of B-57Ks on the way....

Correction.....RB-57Ks.....

2 x old Airfix Gladiators ready for priming...they're now sesquiplanes, and will be German WW1 for BIGGLES

Been doing bits and pieces....a Pegasus Flying Horse, a Unicorn and this morning, started a 1/72nd C-47-ish for Biggles, a Desert scheme.

Yesterday finally finished my mobile air defence system in 1/35th. A Panther hull modified with a launch ramp and a Star Wars Starfighter. Crewed by 3 figures.
Operated in the late '40s on the Eastern Front by SS "Vampyr".

Well all I can say is that I must have missed one  Quite an effective way to keep them warm I thought 

Great party mate - thanks

My pleasure....
a quick head count revealed 60+ adults and a number of kids....the next one will have fewer invites. Unless it's at the pub!!

Depends on your definition of the word "adult" 

[Radish]

True.

Managed to sort out some modelling yesterday.
Got the wings on my B-29.....thinking Washington MR.6 possibly? Or could just do it RAF Bomber Command?? But saw a nice 3-colour Czech one once that was a possibility?
I wonder if the Latvians had any?
Or Israel??

Also got the u/c on the Biggles C-47, and started to steampunk it. There'll be slightly "different" engines, perhaps with chimneys. Or I might leave the chimney concept to the "open-topped" C-47 for sight-seeing.....in preparation.

Just cleaned out the "study" also known as "The Radish Shed".

Found numerous part-built and primed items.....all suitable for Biggles too.

I also discovered an unbuilt 1/48th P-61 Black Widow. A few bits are missing, but I might know where I put them. If I can't find these (internals) it'll almost certainly become an entry on the SIG of GOTH table, full of Zombies and Demons.

Now, I'm off for a shower before going to the pub for a beer and some music.

Tony Robinson obviously had the week off from Time Team then ?
