    Good to know people still play this out-of-print. This was my X-Wing!

    It is not exactly out of print, having been reborn as Wings of Glory

    I saw two versions yesterday (the guys from http://www.fanen.com/ had them ).
    It was both 'Wings of Glory' (ww1) and 'Wings of War' (WW2)
    Are the rules like X-wing ?
    The minis looked very tempting.

    The rules are similar, but you have to plan further ahead in WoG WW1, and there are fewer special action rules. Things get very basic when you are flying in something made of sticks and baling wire :)

    lol ... I've flown some of them in a pc-game (Red Baron).
    You're definitely not doing a barrel roll if you want to keep flying.
    It still is an interesting era as most of the tactics were invented in those days.
    Plus the planes look awesome.

This Experiment Failed

Image
(End credits, Excel Saga) Yes, today I have a very sad tale to share in my cyanography experiments. You remember last time, I shared this: Well, I have experimented further with inkjet photo paper, and made some very unpleasant discoveries along the way. The first is the streaking - without using a non-contact application method, I am not going to avoid it. The gel surface is just too fragile. So if I want to persist with this, it will be out with the air-brush. I somehow doubt I am going to find spray-cans of cyanotype sensitiser, after all.  The second is in washing. Because there is no cellulose for the Prussian Blue to bond with, the washing inevitably destroys the image, meaning that you cannot preserve the image long-term. This also means that you end up including the un-exposed chemicals in the scan, which adds considerable grain and loss of contrast - especially in the high-tones of the inverted image.  This second issue is essentially insoluble, which is a pity, as it would h
