He would have been VERY happy about the weapons ban.

Only talked with him a few times, but he was such a nice guy. I still miss him to,  his brain/imagination was so fertile.

Normally I like weapons on everything...guns..bombs and so on but this is something I'm gonna enjoy..something sleak and fast and since I'm going with a Mustang with a push pull engine set up and after reading what Mossie mentioned that Robert liked that too it seems now im building a plane with the likes of both of our missing friends...very cool 😎 😀
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I have ideas for a Tophe-esque ship model, not certain where to go with it yet.
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Hi all

Getting the bits together at the moment,.

I'm going to attempt two builds, the first will be a push-me-pull-you Spitfire, the second will be a flying wing Zero.

Both are Tophe creations but the Zero will be switched from puller to pusher and up-engined in the Robert style

Obviously I may not finish both but I am going to do my damdest. Personally. Circumstances permitting  :lol:

Roll on the start  :thumbsup:

In that vein, yes.   :wacko:  I've an idea fluttering about, but need to find a kit that won't cost an leg and an arm.

Catamarans only have two hulls, trimarans have three.

A proa has a single smaller outrigger.

You are of course correct.  My bad.

Well I have acquired a large tin of "Tophe Blue" spray paint,  now all I have to do is decide what to do with it...

An afterthought.  I am correct in assuming that GB entries aren't required to fall into 'Tophe' and 'Kitnut' categories, and that there'll still be a single vote at the end, yes?

I think Rule 8 explains that ? My understanding is that builds have to fall into either one or the other categories, or you may commemorate both in one build. At the end of the build there will be 2 votes, one for Tophe and one for Kitnut memorial builds. If you do choose to commemorate both in the one build then it will be entered in both Polls.

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

Perhaps as a courtesy to the moderators, the builder should state if it's a Tophe, kitnut, another member such as Brian da basher or a combination. Just to make things clear.
