The thought had crossed my mind Karl.
Must do some more research first though.

Can I have one to please Rob.

**tikkifriend** · 07-16-2015 12:48

Got a couple of 1 1/5 Stringers to paint up so I can play a couple of OTTTEY missions I missed

Well this should have been finished in May but better late than never.

Thank you

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 07-23-2015 01:50

I agree with Andy Per.
A very crisp paint job.

And now it's there

Thank's everyone

**Flying Helmut** · 07-23-2015 12:10

Very nice work!

**matt56** · 07-23-2015 16:08

Lovely work, P-G! It's an inspiration to all of us to tackle some of the 'lesser-known' planes...

All the best,
Matt

**richard m schwab** · 07-23-2015 17:37

P-G

Very nicely done!

I decided to try another full-color ground target for printing with Shapeways -- this time based on a railroad station: The Senlis station that was torched by the Germans in 1914, northeast of Paris. I expect this will take a couple go-arounds with Shapeways before they're fully happy with it, but we'll see how it goes. I'm sure the detail won't be quite as sharp on the actual print, but that's just a technical limitation that we'll laugh off in a few years.

These ground targets of yours certainly go a long way towards meeting the needs of those who want to add some 3D effects but don't feel that they either have the skills or the time to do their own.
I am very much obliged to you for this Daryl.
Rob.

**matt56** · 07-26-2015 03:12

This will be a lovely 'target', Daryl - is it planned to be the same size as your aerodrome targets, or does it need to be a little bigger?

Like Rob, I, too, think its wonderful you've created these to help with 'realizing' the game.

All the best,
Matt

**Guntruck** · 07-26-2015 04:25

WANT!

Thats a beauty.

Let me know when it is a go so I can add it to the Shapeways list.

**Nightbomber** · 07-26-2015 06:43

That is a perfect thing definitely. What bothers me is moving a bombing plane/base over it. How do you arrange that guys?

**Jager** · 07-26-2015 08:28

Simple, Andrzej. just have a target card the same size as the object, and place it underneath. If a flyover is possible, just lift the model. It can be replaced after being flown over

Karl

**Jager** · 07-26-2015 08:47

Not a WoG project, but I did this pennant for the Northern Ohio (NorthOaken) battle units for the Pennsic Wars, starting today.
It's been a while since I did an SCA banner, so I'm pleased I still have the skills.

Hmm, I should add a top-down view of the targets to my gallery, so it's easy to make such a card. Consider it done.

(PS: I like the flag.)

**matt56** · 07-26-2015 09:29

Karl - you are a man of multiple hidden talents! Well done, that seamstress!

...uh, make that seamster!

All the best,

I'm going to see how it comes out at 2"x2" size, but I might also try a test print that has been upscaled, just to see how it comes out (and how expensive it gets).

And there was great rejoicing!!

I'm trying to take a photograph from directly overhead, then printing it out at the same size as the model.
Start the game with the model placed on the photo; simply lift the model away when a plane flies overhead.

No need - Daryl's already posted 2-D files in his album Ground Target Top Views.

**Hedeby** · 07-26-2015 12:11

Oh my god - Genius being displayed all around

Yup just got those, they are brilliant, card printer and laminator are being made ready as we speak

AMAZING!
Thanks for that.

**BobP** · 07-26-2015 12:56

Love the 3D ground target Daryl. I picked up the PICA RAF AF in 6mm last weekend. Now that you have posted your photo as an inspiration I have to do something with it. Not sure how I want to mount the buildings. Something I have to think about. Thanks for your great photo and idea.

Thanks Karl! So simple.

@Daryl: it would be awesome to get such card!

**matt56** · 07-27-2015 04:33

Lovely target CARDS, too, Daryl! Thanks for sticking them in the album

All the best,
Matt

I just finished four planes a slow month for me. All are 144 scale F-Toys, three ME-410`s and a Beaufighter.

Rich

**Flying Helmut** · 07-30-2015 13:04

very impressive workmanship!

**Nightbomber** · 07-30-2015 14:23

Unrivaled details and crispy, historical painting, Rich. A pleasure to watch. : thumbsup:

**richard m schwab** · 07-30-2015 16:37

Tim and Andy

F-Toys makes a great line. They deserve most of the credit!

Rich

**Flying Helmut** · 07-30-2015 17:44

I've got a gaggle of 1/144 F-toys Albatri to do at some point.......they ARE great little models!

**richard m schwab** · 07-30-2015 18:12

Tim

The new releases are great, with two decal options for most planes!
Rich

But they are 1/144 WGS, right?

My WGS are 1/200 Nexus & Ares................

**richard m schwab** · 07-30-2015 23:37

Tim

Yes they are 144 scale. I was using 144 scale planes when DOW first came out. I only had about 50 144 scale planes then, courtesy of my N Scale model railroading. Long before the first Nexus Mini release.
