As a new player forgive me if I am asking a repeated question - is there any plans for the balloon models to be rereleased ?

I'm not the most informed, but there is a plan. However, it is pretty far down the list, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
Someone else may have heard a rumor I haven't, though.

Look on Shapeways site you can find balloons there .
As Mike says, they are planning to release them again but we don't know when.
armaments in miniature makes a great drachen for 18 usd
AIM are resin models which are affordable, very easy to paint and hard wearing, link below:

Thanks for all the advice - much appreciated .
Just seen this,
for uk take a look at Red Eagle Miniatures, they do WW1 balloons, both types, or at least used to

Drop them a line to see if they still available. They come with a winch truck
That's a great resource -and will do for the forseeable future but sure will get the wings of glory ones when finally released. As a matter of interest whatis the rough size of the official bases?
David - check out 'Clippers list' in the Sale/Trade section. End of page 3 or 4 (forget which)...there's a balloon...
Many thanks - I think with the current resale price on auctions will wait for the re-release . A couple of weeks ago the rules set was at a silly price of £140 then overnight Amazon was selling the new issue at £28. As much as I would like a couple of sets I will wait patiently unless something affordable comes along.
Hi David
If you ask fkying helmut (Tim) nicely
He will i am sure search his man cave of goodies...
And he may be persuaded to part with one of each for a very fair price
if you so desire

Tim might even swap one for some sails of glory ships, his collection is a bit low atm.
