What would modern Viking raiders use?
Hovercraft?  Amphibious armour?  Mothership with Landing craft?
All with dragonhead prows of course.

DFDS Oslo to Newcastle  ;)

I was thinking of Geordie lasses marauding their way through Bergen and Oslo.       Could you imagine any viking being able to cope with the Bigg Market on a Saturday night?

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you....."

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

One side of me thinks that this is Pirate inspiration
The other side tells me that it means at least three men died.

Here's some more light hearted inspiration.

Charlie the Pirate Dog.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I went on a trip to Spurn Point in Yorkshire today and it reminded me of a picture of a sail bogie I had in a book:


Which led me to go googling for sail powered trains:




What's a pirates favourite rail company??? B-Arrrrr!!!!
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.

Enjoy!

I like the Double Lightning on the same page - inspiration for the upcoming LHC GB.

FOUR afterburning Avons, all on top of each other?

They better have a tanker permamently in the circuit as otherwise it won't intercept anything that's outside the airfield boundary!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit
