World War One Aviation: 1915

The mid-January game is on hold at present, due to me deciding to use different figures than I had previously chosen. 

What I have finished off are these two 1:144 WW1 aeroplane models, so I can get in some solo games of Wings of Glory. Models are by Reduced Aircraft Factory, through Shapeways (purchased a number of years ago).

The models are:
. Morane-Saulnier MoS-3 Parasol (British classification of Type L) [converted; rear observer replaced with a Red Eagle Miniatures Lewis Gunner miniature)
. Fokker Eindecker E.II  


Of note: The Royal Flying Corps aeroplane model still requires varnishing. The Type L (in this case) was armed only with a single, rear-facing machine gun. It was about 10mph slower than the German Eindecker.

Bits for my planned for mid-January game

Some of the terrain for my planned/hoped for mid-January game, using Bryan's/Vampifan's and my own miniatures. Game to be played using Ganesha Games' Mutant and Death Ray Guns rules.

Managed to get some of the terrain finished (originally made for games of Palaeo Diet - to hide Angry Critters/Critters and/or berry bushes to forage) in between the various home help who visits us at present (NHS/hospice/Marie Curie) and my own filial caring duties. Big terrain piece still, obviously, to finish and I've a (smaller) terrain piece to begin, using the modelled edible fungus clumps sold via Steve Barber Miniatures (as part of the fruit bushes armatures set).
