huh. All these years of opening up stuff, removing the packing forms and I never once noticed that, with some careful cutting and flipping them upside down, those paper maché forms make great mud forts/buildings. Imagination activated, I can feel another project coming on. Now to start searching for stuff I can give away but keep the packing forms… |

Wow! This is a really dangerous idea guys. There's no telling what one of you will come up with next now that he has planted the seed. Dan |

Thanks guys for the comments! I will have some more progress very soon. Glad everyone is enjoying it so far. ;) |

Just curious … Are you going to make the tubes look like giant logs, or are you going to make them look like metal pontoons? Dan link |
airbornegrove26 | 10 Jan 2018 1:14 p.m. PST |
Dan, I was going to try and make them look like giant logs to start off, but I tried wrapping with string and making it look wood grain, and it just wasnt working out. So I have a different plan which I will probably be able to share in the next post. Getting some more interior done, and got the deck buildings how I want them: givemlead.blogspot.com/2018/01/saturday-morning-space-aircraft-carrier_10.html

This is insane… -ly awesome!!! I am about as unplugged from your genre of gaming as possible for a fellow miniature gamer, and yet… am wearing a big smile seeing this and reading the various blog posts updating your progress, which I will continue to do. Thanks for posting! |

Absolutely amazing what a coat of paint can do! I've been anxious to see it start taking paint. Very nice!!! Terry |

Uhm, speechless.. unheard of for me. Oh K, just realized something I had to ask, 'Is this a 'Lets see if we can do it.' project, or do you plan to actually us this / these in actual games. If so I can only guess they must be 28mm, if not 54? |
airbornegrove26 | 23 Jan 2018 2:18 p.m. PST |
Thanks Part Time Gamer. We have always planned on gaming with them from the start, but it did have a bit of 'Let's see if we can do this" and I'm pleased so far me and the good Major are moving right along. Yes the games will be in 28mm, Major is working on some rules for the ships, and soon to be painted aircraft. From there it's all up to what we can imagine on the table top. ;) |

I have been following this not sure exactly what to expect. But seeing it progress and the finished project it is truly impressive! Very well done!!! Terry |

Glad you guys are enjoying it. We are getting close to completion, but there are still a few more steps to go. Stand by for more in the coming weeks. ;) |
airbornegrove26 | 21 Feb 2018 6:37 a.m. PST |
Got my Wind Raiders painted up for the Cactus Air-force, New Texas only air wing. Things are really starting to come together. Now I just need to focus on the ship's interior and we should be getting very close to being finished. Lot's more on the blog this time, including charts for the grappling hook: givemlead.blogspot.com/2018/02/saturday-morning-space-aircraft-carrier.html

Not to worry, continuing to follow. Speech failed me a bit, though. Tomorrow, I intend to gobsmack the fellow at the 'old toys' store with images of this. ;->= Doug |

Script post script: By the way, didn't notice 'til now the blog's 2017/12/17 post had 'So in roughly 6 months time there will be fighting among the stars….' I'd say you may be ahead of schedule! Damn, wish my designs for ships-on-sticks could handle that weight! Doug |
airbornegrove26 | 24 Mar 2018 9:51 a.m. PST |
Yus show the toy store guy what can be done! I am a bit, however I'm really stuck atm on what large battery/weapon systems to go with. I want to keep them as close to the aesthics as possible. So with me hum-hawing it over I will have it complete closer to June I imagine. |
Skinflint Games | 26 Mar 2018 7:39 a.m. PST |
Wow. Just wow. That. Is. STUNNING. |
TheBeast | 26 Mar 2018 8:23 a.m. PST |
Yus show the toy store guy what can be done! Being the kind of fellow I am, it's more about what won't be on his shelves. ;->= I'm sure it'll be a temporary snag, you're feeling, and if it turns to longer, well, those of us in glass houses will throw NO stones! Doug |
