Official Snoopy the World War I flying ace thread

**matt56** · 12-30-2015 14:33

Since several of us have done Snoopies in various guises and sizes, I thought it appropriate to start an official thread for the little bugger!

Here is my latest version of the pup - this is the 2002 Hallmark pewter figurine; he's the perfect size to 'get airborne' - still a lot of detail in the figure, but he fits nicely onto a flight stand...

When all was said and done, he really didn't take all that long to modify and paint - certainly something worth trying if you're so inclined...

Those of you who've modified and/or painted a Snoopy for your collection or to fly, share him again (or for the first time) here!

Thanks for looking!
All the best,
Matt

That is nice work Matt. I prefer the brown kennel to the usual Red one!

What size is the Hallmark model?

**grumpybear** · 12-30-2015 18:20

Never thought to repaint ,yours looks great

**matt56** · 12-31-2015 03:32

Here are two pictures for size comparison, Barry. Like I said above, if he were any smaller (than an inch long), I think something would be lost - as a 'gaming' piece, I think his 'just larger than scale' size works nicely.

Nice job Matt

Here's Snoopy's German cousin, Baron Von Rottweiler

**matt56** · 12-31-2015 05:51

I remember him, Steve! Glad you posted him - he's a wonderful take on the Airborne Beagle

All the best,
Matt

**Naharaht** · 12-31-2015 06:01

Well done, Matt and Steve!

**zenlizard** · 12-31-2015 06:46

Much needed thread, especially with the KS Giants arriving soon, a lot of us have the Snoopy add-on.

Is it Snoopy piloting Sopwith Kennel?

**Setarius** · 01-18-2016 19:49

I got 3 different versions of the WW8 Flying Ace for Christmas.

Have only ever seen two versions of Snoopy and both come with cartoon booklets - I think that's brilliant that you have three versions. Please may we have a picture?

PS - Pardon me ... But WW8?

That was my favourite book when I was growing up - Capt. W.E. John's "Beagles of the Camel Squadron"

There's a hallmark ornament that has Snoopy flying with Woodstock behind; if I could find one without paying an arm and a leg, I'd do it up as a Sopwith Strutter

Now that I would be interested in Karl.

If you perform a Google Images search, you will find there are many Snoopy Flying Ace toys. However, here is a picture of one with Woodstock.

I wonder how hard it would be to find that figurine??? Also, how many limbs would it cost?

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 01-22-2016 11:21

Cheers Dave. I just got the one of Snoopy on the kennel some years ago and a recent one of him with Woodstock, but this one with Woody on the kennel is much better. looks like a two seater pusher coming on.
Anyone up for doing a card for that?
Rob.

I don't know about the States ken, but this is amazon U.K.

Hallmark 2000 Snoopy Flying Ace Pilot Pewter Figurine

by Hallmark

£131.60+ £4.98 delivery
Only 3 left in stock - order soon.

Rob.

**matt56** · 01-23-2016 02:14

Ken, I purchased my initial pewter figure above for $7.50 plus shipping on Ebay - and then I found a second one for $10.50 plus shipping...if you do a search for "Snoopy #1 Ace" you should be able to find him. The last one I saw a couple of weeks ago was around $20.

All the best,
Matt

PS - I just checked Ebay and found him - $19.50 plus shipping from a dealer in Raleigh, NC - I guess his official Hallmark name was "Flying High"...I used the search parameters I suggested above and had no trouble finding him...

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 01-23-2016 03:17

You lucky chaps.
E-Bay US will not let me purchase anything from the site.
Rob.

**matt56** · 01-23-2016 04:34

I also happened to see some on Amazon US, Rob - they started at $24.95...perhaps that would work...or perhaps one of us here could get one for you and ship it to Blighty...that would certainly be cheaper than 131 pounds...

All the best,
Matt

Very good , Steve!

**Teaticket** · 01-23-2016 07:30

Great rendition on Snoopy's Sopwith Doghouse.

**Stumptonian** · 01-23-2016 10:50

Here's one.
If they won't ship to UK I could get it for you and re-ship

Snoopy #1 Ace

On further checking, they will ship to the UK but their rates are terrible!

I would love to try to do those very models in green stuff... (Woodstock would be TOUGH!). I think I would size Snoopy and his Doghouse down to somewhere halfway between 1/72 and 1/144... I had the Card models back in 2011 but gave them away over the years in between then and now.
