Unfortunately, during the move I found out how many projects I had gathered for but hadn't done much with. No matter, when faced with a big task you hammer it out one piece at a time.
Task I- A VSF Ornithopter.
Having been impressed by anothers use of a Ral Partha Dwarf Ornitophter

I decided to make my own. Out came the box of Ornithopters and much to my surprise I found each box held two. How wonderful. Then I noticed that they lacked landing gear. Expletive deleted, I bought the wrong kind.
What to do, What to do.
I remembered that I had a Fast Lane construction train and it came with a crane (I'd bought it just to have four more pieces of straight track, Fast Lane and Goldlock make nice cheap trains but they never come with enough straight track pieces).
I decided that my Ornithopters didn't take off from a landing field, no they were launched into by a steam catapult.
The crane as it was orginally.
