Yes, you certainly can build things, Jessie.  Not just a pretty face.  So glad to see these beauties posted here.
Cheers,
Bud, the mouse

Nice HD1.  I've had one of those half done for ages, seeing this might be the "shove" I need.  The Martin looks pretty small. Unusual looking kit.

Love the Martin. It looks like a bad idea brought to fruition. Did it actually fly.

All great work, Jessie -

Makes my effort on the Eduard Hanriot HD1 look really puny in fact.

Best regards

Dave

Not well. It was both seriously underpowered and terribly overweight. As a result, it  never got out of ground effect. Rather a poor showing for something intended to be a Zeppelin interceptor.

Where Capt. Martin intended to put the Lewis guns is beyond me...

  Jessica,
Outstanding projects my friend. I followed your WIP thread for the Martin Kitten, what a grand project too. Isn't the Hanriot the old Hanger Queen ?
Great to see her in her finished glory.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Yes, it's the one I started a couple of years ago over on the Aerodrcome.

Some nice birds there, the Martin looks like an interesting beastie.

Very nice models Jessie, your building talents are excellent. The Martin Kitten is a very interesting little bird, if it was underpowered as is just imagine what would have happened if they had mounted a machine gun, it probably would not get off the ground.

In fact it was supposed to have two! Capt. Martin was not one to let reality get in the way of grandiose plans.
