Sorry if this is a total newbie question, but what needs to be done to adapt 1/144 aircraft purchased from Shapeways for use in WoG (aside, obviously, from the fact that you need to acquire a flight stand)?
Adapting Shapeways Aircraft to WoG
Sorry if this is a total newbie question, but what needs to be done to adapt 1/144 aircraft purchased from Shapeways for use in WoG (aside, obviously, from the fact that you need to acquire a flight stand)?
Colinwe's planes have pegs akin to those found on Ares models, so they're pretty much ready to go. I don't believe this is the case with any of the others (kampfflieger's do not), so I glue a small ball bearing where the peg would be... this allows the aircraft to mate nicely with a magnet, and you've got a ready-to-use gimbal mount.
I can post a pic after work today.
You might need to put a peg in it, add crew, paint it & find a manoeuvre deck. Other than that nothing John !
One of the Shapeways designers makes pegs that can be glued to the bottom of the plane. I can't remember off hand who but it is on my spreadsheet under accessories. The spreadsheet is on the thread 'WSF Planes on Shapeways' in the hobby area.
I'd put a link here but this computer (not mine) won't give me access!)
Found them, they are made by jbmacek.
