WHEN DOGS DREAM (Airfix)

This is my Airfix 1:72 German Shepherd dog model. It is taken from the Bloodhound Missile kit, and mounted on a dog biscuit. I call it WHEN DOGS DREAM. It is also called Otto after the German Shepherd I walk on the weekends. As Otto is about 8 mm long, it is rather difficult to photograph. Dog biscuit is courtesy of Phoebe the cute blonde (cocker spaniel) next door.

COASTAL DEFENCE CANNON, 1780-1812

This is a Mantua Models brass and wood kit of a U.S. coastal defence cannon as used from 1780 until the war of 1812 (and probably long after). It may be about 1:17 scale.
I bought the old (1971) kit at the US IPMS national convention this summer and built it in one week. Five dollars well spent!
