From DaveD - Cooke's Goose! (30 pts)

Another bit of random left field stuff. Following on from my earlier Pulp Savage Seas entry I have now completed the last part for the game that MartinC has pulled together for us to run at the Hammerhead show in Newark today. Its a mix of "Tales of the Golden Monkey" meets Jurrasic Park meets Indiana Jones.  The star of the show was "Cutters Goose" a Grumman Seaplane - so here we have "Cooke's Goose" landing on the shores of the south seas island ... what adventures await! Martin may well get cooked in large pot!

its a 1/48th scale kit - which was a mix of plastic and resin - altogether a bit of a pig to put together.It does  though I think look the part!  its a decent size with a wingspan over over 300mm.

the table is set!  i can hear the seaplane coming now...

Well Dave, this is a fun and fabulous little surprise to find! There is just something about seaplanes that seems so classy, civilized and fun.  They offer the prospect of adventure, daring, tropical temperatures and a swig of a refreshing beverage - no matter the state of the seaplane itself.  And as you say, the culinary spectrum that awaits after a trip on one of these aircraft is rather vast - let's hope the participants at the show and game today enjoy some stewed MartinC...

As for points, well, let's see now...that would be a 28mm-sized vehicle, but it looks like it was a bit of a pain to put together, so we'll toss in some extra points for the modelling effort and the fine general result.  I shall decree 10 bonus points for all of that, for a total of 30 points. 

Great work Dave - well done, and good luck with the event. That table sure look fabulous, and I bet it will be great time!
