Hopefully these will see more use with Bulldogs rather than Eagles.

recent martian arrivals chris?

**malachi** · 11-23-2023 06:34

lol - well that hadn't actually occurred to me, Phil, but probably would be great for destroyed objectives. They are part of a set of generic blast craters off eBay.

Hahahaha - no chance Chris

Nice craters though

**Flying Helmut** · 11-23-2023 12:28

Very nice craters, Chris!

**Jager** · 11-24-2023 11:38

They are nice craters, Chris. They look like some of the potholes around NE Ohio

Caudron G3 - which I have had in the "To do" box for so long I cannot remember who the designer was - apologies. I think it was one from Decapod.
Paints all Vallejo - Mainly a mix of Golden Brown and Golden Yellow with a touch of white added (more so for the G4 below); Other colours used - Red Leather, Sky Blue, Red, Medium Sea Grey and Oily Steel.
Decals: numbers and British roundels (G100 below) by Miscmini and French roundels by Skelton.

Caudron G4 - Apologies, again designer unknown. No pilot so probably Decapod?

Martinsyde G100 by Reduced Aircraft Factory. My second and both of them were used by 30 Squadron RFC out in Macedonia

Paint mainly Clear Doped Linen RFC/RAF by MisterKit, plus vallejo as per the above.

Excellent work, Mike

**mikeemagnus** · 12-05-2023 09:59

Sharp eyes amongst you may spot a blemish on the upper plane of the Caudron G3, just above where the pilot would sit. I'm afraid, in my enthusiasm to drill a hole through the base of the fuselage, to act as a seat for the ball bearing, I drilled right through the cockpit and hit the wing. For around five seconds of panic, trying to find the off button, the poor little Caudron G3 was wizzing around in circles faster that it could ever have done in real life

Decided to keep the blemish as a reminder to try and avoid such a catastrophe again

**Stumptonian** · 12-05-2023 10:34

Those all look good, Mike.
Especially like the Martinsyde.

**Larry R.** · 12-05-2023 11:55

Great work, Mike. Love the Martinsyde especially.

**mikeemagnus** · 12-05-2023 12:08

Thanks all

**Flying Helmut** · 12-05-2023 15:34

Very nice trio, Mike!

**CrashCraig** · 12-05-2023 17:50

Great work as usual Mike. I too like the Martinsyde "Elephant"

**ReducedAirFact** · 12-05-2023 22:27

I wasn't sure how the camera on the Martinsyde's...uh...side would look, but you've nailed it!

**Guntruck** · 12-06-2023 00:14

Good job Mike.

**Hu Rhu** · 12-06-2023 04:02

Nice work on theose three Mike.

**mikeemagnus** · 12-06-2023 04:18

Thanks again all. Glad I got the camera right Daryl.

**Teaticket** · 12-06-2023 07:04

Inspiring work guys.

**flash** · 12-06-2023 08:11

OK I'll do the honours -

**CrashCraig** · 12-07-2023 15:54

Great work Mike. How did you get Tim to fit in that small plane?

**RJG173** · 12-07-2023 19:11

Mike, I like that you go the extra mile to display your models 'flying' over a village or landscape. I wouldn't have any trouble spotting that G3 on the table.

**Guntruck** · 12-07-2023 23:34

Superb!

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 12-08-2023 00:35

Nice one Mike. It gave me a laugh.
Just a pity we cant get one of him in Steffi.

Rob.

Thanks, Mike. I had both hands full last night, so I needed someone to deliver the

for me!

Oh, I don't know.....

Provide a sufficient number of high quality Brandies...

**mikeemagnus** · 12-08-2023 03:42

Done in honour of Tim's enormous number of victories during Origins this year. Although I was tempted to put him in a flying boat after an earlier comment he posted.

Tim, if only I had found an appropriate good photo of Steffi, I would have used that amazing model, but sadly I don't have one. Next time perhaps.

Have to say, I was also tempted to put myself in a Camel and place it in a position about to collide, but thought better of it
