I pass on my heartfelt appreciation to Ray and Garet for providing us with a venue to express ourselves though our shared hobby.
To all our members, thank you for your contribution and I personally look forward to you future submissions.

2018 will concentrate on WWI projects and the completion of my AL-60 Conestoga, the Bruno Stillman 55, the 1/32 Canadair Sabre and perhaps some progress on the Bonnie.

WWI project to date are a 1/32 Niewport 11 Bebe, 1/350 HMCS Aurora and a 1/32 Mark 1 field tank. I am sure other project will blossom as I want to duplicate  Tom Solury collection.

As a starter to the year, I wish you all success in your model projects as well as filling your life's personal goals.

2018 - WW1 - T28 Floh(Flea), Macchi M5, Fokker D-VIII.

          - Flycatcher and Ca-15 have languished for a while will endeavour to finish them.

          -  Several "small " projects that may come to fruition during the year.
          -  Must get into RC MTB as well.

I echo Lou's appreciation to Ray and Garet .
To everyone all the very best for 2018.

Cheers

The attached PDF file is the second prototype of the 2017 poster. Comments please. The images were arranged by size uploaded. All pictures for the year book should be 2X3 scale. Please set your camera accordingly.

New Toon started, loosely based on a Metal Slug Flyer which itself is based on a Harrier. Pictures to follow on my project board.

Sorry Lou, I forgot to say the second poster looked better with the images at the side of the central block. Regards Paul J.

Looks good to me Lou, regards Paul J.

Thanks Paul. Just waiting a while to make sure everyone has a chance to comment.

I have added a page to the Model Index in the cook up section to add all WWI projects I can find on this site. It may take a while.
