    I've kind of had this Louisiana thing going with it.....
    Ahhhh! Thank YOU, Willy; now that's an offer I won't be able to refuse.
    As soon as the goods are ready, I'll take you up on your fine generosity.

    As for that pretty little Tri-floater - still one of my all-time favourite flyers, Sir. :-)

    Added depth...



    The original scenery was missing those elusive elements of depth and solidity - I think we're now on the right track. :-)

    That's the brew Pete, and Cardiff is the Land of my Father's.

    You're near the mark for the location; Conwy Castle. :-)

    Lock, stock, and a few smokin' barrels...

    now under construction and texturing...

    They'll be needing suitable fortifications overlooking the harbour...







    then it's down to the docks, wharfs, and shipyards where real the action's at :-)

    'cry havoc! And let loose the dogs of war'

    Three cannon outside 'The Black Bear'. The local Constable will not be happy.
    Conwy Castle is just a few miles North from me. At first I thought it was Harlech Castle. But never Cardiff. Great scenery for Milton's ENDEAVOUR.

    Will become a favourite destination for amphibians and flying boats. Just been ogling 'Shessi's' great models of the Sunderland. It will be set off nicely with one of King Edward's massive castles as a back-drop.

    Thanks for your imagination and work Nigel.

    What good are the cannons if you don't have the balls to use them :-)

    Great modeling there my friend.

    As you rightly say; if you've got them, use them. :-)

    Thanks for the brain bump, Skipper.

    BTW, Mal - errr that must be a dandy hangover you have there...

    I dare say; pretty much everything looks like a 'Black Bear' after several flagons of cider...

    Gotta have the infamous "Wolf's Head Tavern", Nigel... place wouldn't be complete without a resident werewolf. Actually, I flew over that castle a bit ago in the Mallard, OUTSTANDING attention to detail there sir.

    "Home, by the Sea"...And there you have it.
