You leave my tentacles out of this! A Martian's tentacles are his own private kingdom and I shall defend mine with your life: see if I don't! Indignant of Mars 👽 -
You couldn't make that mechanism leap a bit higher could you? Now(ish) would be a good time. Martian 👽

You're not wrong there Loren. Negations with the Doctor for the loan of his Tardis are ongoing. Martian 👽

Fret ye not Terry, she will beat Telford in all her glory. Helpful of Mars 👽 -
No, six tables! The pressure level here at Martian Towers has gone up by a lt more than 50%, I can assure you. Pressured of Mars 👽

Yes it will indeed be at Telford this year and we have been asked if we can fill an extra two tables as well. The upshot of this is that the entire collection can be on display. Hope that helps Martian 👽 Edit: Tje display will also be at the IPMS Abingdon show on Saturday.

I am intending to commission a 3D printed kit of and M Class Zeppelin (more specifically the later M2 Class) to add to my Zeppelin display. I have plenty of pictures for my designer but am having the Devil's own task getting hold of a decent set of plans. Can anyone help me in this regard?. My designer will most likely make the kit available for others to purchase. The model will most likely be to 1/700 scale and will doubtless be available on the designer's EvilBay page.. Hopeful of Mars 👽

A very interesting project, beautifully executed. Now hand back my blurglecruncheon! Evil child! Get ye to Specsavers, pronto! Everyone knows that the Blackburn was one of the most beautiful designs ever to grace the skies! Shocked of Mars 👽 -

I am particularly enjoying this Lynx build. Don't tell @Ex-FAAWAFU, lest he have me flogged or hoist with my own blurglecruncheon, but I think this variant is the most attractive of all the Lynx variants. Heretical of Mars 👽

Thanks Kev, presentation is something I am looking to improve on. Fortunately, my best friend's wife is a professional artist. She loves "a project" and has decided to make yours truly her project. I was extremely fortunate at the Farnborough show in that someone approached me to say that he had a bit of Zeppelin and if I could tell him a bit about it, he would donate it to the collection. He sent me a picture of the piece and from what he had already told me, I was able to identify it as coming from Max Dietrich's L.34, shot down in the sea off Hartlepool on 27th November 1916 by Second Lieutenant Ian Vernon Pyott. Dietrich was the favourite uncle of the film star Marlene Dietrich and so holds all the more significance. The gentleman was as good as his word and the piece now awaits framing before joining the display. Can I build a model of this ship before Telford? It's a tall order but the least I can do is give it a go. Very Lucky of Mars 👽

Thanks for sharing that Mike, a fascinating piece, in some respects more interesting than the large piece of wreckage in the church at Theberton. Now hand it over! Demanding of Mars 👽

Loving having you back with us Ced and I am hugely enjoying following this project. I do Have one slight reservation though; i understand that you are building this diorama whilst you are staying with your daughter? Isn't she going to be slightly miffed when you try to hang it from her ceiling? Just concerned about your safety you understand. Concerned of Mars 👽

Masterful workmanship! Impressed of Mars 👽
