Excellent work on the float Alexis! Looks Great. Damn you seem to have more damaged builds than the Average Modeler  ::) Looking forward to a fixed Nieuport Triplane Now!

Zac , what container ?  ;)
I hesitate to give it a name because when you name something it hangs around - that's how my sister and I ended up with cats when we were kids! - but I think of it as the Box of Broken Biplanes:
Zac’s Box of Broken Biplanes by Zac Yates, on Flickr
Two are models of aircraft owned by a friend while the trio of The Blue Max builds have great nostalgic significance because of the film! So all need some degree of repair and/or re-rigging when I work out a way to display or safely store them afterward.

There is a bit of a back story . I won this kit in a contest we had here on the site in honor of Des . This is a prize I won from placing which I was surprised . So it had a lot of sentimental value to me . So when I broke it , I was very disappointed in myself and it took a bit to get over that .
That gave me a catch in my throat. I completely understand why it's so important to get that one fixed. More power to you  :)

Zac , nice Bluemax collection and I do hope this is inspiration on getting your's repaired . Would very much like to see them . I understand that connection , just some things which are the smallest have the most meaning to us . Thanks for sharing  :)
