I finished my airship model (finally ;D ) and here are some pictures of an Imperial Chinese aeronef resisting an unwelcome visitor in the year 1898. "Haifeng" means "Ocean Wind", my sources tell me.     Here's a link to my Photobucket album, where there are more pictures, including larger versions of the ones above: s193.photobucket.com/albums/z256/hilbyf/Aerial%20Dreadnought/Just for fun (well, a sort of obsessive-compulsive fun  ), I tallied up all the parts that went into this model. Not counting the foam for the scenery, there are 1079 parts you're lookin' at here, 14 of which came from the original kit. |

Just a quick update, and a brag: This last weekend I took the Haifeng to Wonderfest, and got a Gold--and Best Starship! I haven't quit grinning since Sunday afternoon!  |
