Oh very cool ! Thanks Zac ! Love the bottom shot....exactly how I envision it as I'm building it.

Picked up a few sets for my dio, the L'Arsenal bicycles and the ladders etc, as well as the Kingfisher and catapult set. I also have a 200 scale Russian DC-3 that I will be putting on floats. Now, I just need some 200 scale vehicles ? Where's a good place to get them ?

Perhaps Shapeways?

there are lots of pics out there but it's hard to actually find a place to buy what I'm looking for, Korean War era US military. If I owned my own 3D printer it looks like I'd be laughing lol

Still looking for 200 scale period stuff to populate

Have you looked at the Skytrex range Capt ? http://www.skytrex.com/

The company was obviously "resurrected" in 2013 but the stuff I had was good and the range used to be huge

Thanks Chris ! That will certainly help. I'll try an order and see how she goes.....jeeps and trucks and trailer. Perfect load for the Goose !

I was thinking of adding one or two of the catapults to the dio base. I'm torn tho. It's like I'm just trying to busy it up and/ or use the parts I already have. It would kind of make sense, as there is no runway proper, but it would also be a wee bit unrealistic.

a catapult for the huge Spruce Goose? a giant catapult? for a giant ship not sinking with this huge weight?

funny, thanks

Maybe a giant trebuchet?

Sorry, the cats would be for the Kingfisher set I bought, that came with two cats and two planes.

I assume the bicycles are to get from one end of the "Goose" to the other in a timely manner?
