1st Viadal comp

Hi Guys, this was my first Viadal comp in 2007(Viadal=Full contact mixed martial arts, stand up fighting and grappling on the ground allowed, but no punches, knees or elbows to the head), it was a hard fought fight, my opponent was tough and had a longer reach, it ended in a win by KO after 2 min of the first round, the last photo is me and my training partners (the Baldies), Jamie and Srbo, great guys, and excellent Martial artists, we're the baldies by default, an act of nature rather than fashion sense. I'd rather be called, those good looking guys with long flowing hair, butthe Baldies will have to do. the Baldies will have to do.

UM's 1/72 Grille H

Hi Guys, this is UM's 1/72 Grille H, the original was not great, the fighting compartment walls were too thick and had dents in them from the casting process, so I replaced them with plasticard, also replaced the barel with an aluminium Armo one. so with work it builds into a nice kit but I can only give the original 6/10 I should have replaced the tarp bar with wire.

Manfred Von Richthofen's Fokker Dr 1

Hi Guys, this is my first WWI fighter, I made this about 7 years ago, (its Manfred Von Richthofen's Fokker Dr 1 by Revel)I plan to make a lot more WWI fighters, I'm not familiar enough with the period to judge this kit but it looks pretty good to me, this current base is just for display purposes, I will be getting flight stands to mount planes on for war gaming in the future, sill looking for suitable pilot figures (may have to try and sculpt some myself) the strut cables are made from stretched sprue, with limited knowledge in this area I would give this a 7/10, I made a mistake on this plane, the tail fin should be white, might fix it at a later date.
