Apology accepted. No hard feelings.

there isn't any point to this hobby except to enjoy yourself

They look great Wingco - i hadn't seen Blotz before - they've got some nice stuff on their site. Nice paintjobs too

They're magnificent, I'll have to see about getting some. Handy for the siege of Chillan.

This week's President-for-life arrives for the grand opening of the new Ministry Of Mines building in the capital.


Oh no ! Rebel aircraft appear and attack, intent on killing The Pesident !



A bomb hits the MOM building but doesn't explode and is swiftly dealt with by the bomb squad.


The President declares this to be a sign that he is favoured by God and his convoy returns in triumph to his ranch.

You need a 6mm geologist in shorts, bush shirt and boonie hat, carrying a bulging suitcase into that MOM building.

Excellent stuff, why do the Rebs and the government use American weaponry?

Alpha Jets are French and Toyotas are Japanese. Good idea about the geologist carrying a barrel of beer though !

Sorry, I thought they were skyhawks.

I would guess that to get a mineral lease, you would need a suitcase of Kwachlas.

From my time at BAe I can confirm that no genocidal African dictator would be complete without a bribe from the French. Anyone who wanted genuine quality bought the Hawk.

Of course we all laughed like drains when a civilian air traffic controller from Benin wrote off their entire air force by slicing a golf ball whilst practising his drive beside the runway at the only airport, striking the windshield of one Alpha Jet as it was taking off and causing it to veer into the rest of them (another five, IIRC) lined up on the perimeter track. The powers that be actually thought Africa's answer to Nick Faldo was an enemy agent and had done it deliberately!

The Alpha Jet sales office were sent several cartons of BAe golf balls.

6mm golf balls. I like a challenge...
