A long ago and( almost ) forgotten trip to Cuba

Indy 500 diorama

From my friend Don @ the Winnebago Automodellers club

This is club modelling of the highest order well done guys!

"This is a group of photos from our club display that myself and 4 other guys built. What you see here was all built from January 15th to the first week of April.

 The Marmon wasp was scratch built by Dave Falk. It is awesome. Everything on the base was built from scratch except the cars  with exception to the Marmon and the figures.

I designed the layout and we met five Saturdays and built this. Tom and Ed there are two of your cars on the display The Miller #14 and the Target car.

The base was basically sold for as we set it up. A deal was made at the end of the show and it is now gone we kept all the cars and figures. The scoring Pylon is actually lit.

The figures out front are painted in Umber and sepia tones to represent a photo from 1909."






A couple more nice pics filched from "Facebook" Auto Modelers Group

A rare bird.

No apologies (again) for the photography. I caught this Spanish airforce 707 (c-135???) parked at the far end of the apron at Malaga airport 29-4-2016. I could only get a few quick shots through glass when boarding my flight.  Original smokey Westinghouse engines?

A brandishing of Sabres (can you brandish a sabre or is it only cutlass's ) update:11/2016

A friend of mine is on a "Sabre" kick so these are for him   (enjoy Steve)

Just adding a few Sabre related pics.

This poor old (Sabre)Dog suffered a big hit from Katrina along with a lot of the aircraft exhibits.
