What better birthday present than a pup I ask you!? - 2 Sopwith Pups of course!!
A present from my wife arrived this morning - a bit early but just in time for our first stoush for 2023 at my place on Tuesday. I fell an early war scenario coming on!
A nice birthday present

Nice!
Happy Birthday Wayne!
Are planes better for your health than cake?
Well, you probably had both, so congrats!
Hope the game is as much fun.

Thanks guys - my birthday is actually January 24 (75 years young!) and our wedding anniversary is Jan 23 - best birthday present I ever got!
Now to go and find the plane cards I printed off when I first put in the Shapeways order, then turn my attention to suitable decks. If my memory serves me correctly, it's a D deck with an extra turn.
Well, that was an interesting search for information on the best maneuver deck.
The general consensus (IMHO) seems to be a D deck with one of the sharp right turns being replaced with a sharp left - that soft whirring you can hear in the back ground is me firing up Photoshop!
Well, your wife has been better trained than mine - that's for sure.
She wouldn't know what a Sopwith is...let alone a Pup!
That said - we've been married for 10yrs, and she's never remembered our wedding anniversary.
Going cheap - anyone want a barely used wife? 'IOU' deck I believe.

Lovely presents. Enjoy. Happy birthday / Wedding Anniversary
Yep, spent the afternoon scanning, printing and laminating. I now have a modified D deck for each Pup. The best thing to do on a38 degree day!You lucky bloke, the D* deck works fine, I think you'll enjoy using them
Philip - my wife remembers the anniversary date, just not how many years we've been married. When I asked her why, she says it doesn't matter, it's a life sentence!
Congrats on your excitable Pups, Wayne! And happy early birthday
Happy birthday for the 24th of this month - Happy flying too - great gift
Bwahahahahaha - well done that man!Philip - my wife remembers the anniversary date, just not how many years we've been married. When I asked her why, she says it doesn't matter, it's a life sentence!
Nice early present, Wayne. I look forward to seeing them on the table.
Great present from the wife! Congrats on the anniversary too.
Thanks Peter - married in 1971 and still going strong!Great present from the wife! Congrats on the anniversary too.
Thanks Mike. I actually discovered a spare D deck in my stash so I scanned that, photoshopped the left turn to replace one of the right turns and printed 2 modified decks.
Cool!

A very good vintage the 1971 Wayne. Seems to age very well. Not a lot of us seem to keep the bottle corked for 50 years these days.
Congratulations on this milestone, and here is to your 60th in a few more years.

Congrats on the anniversary and birthday; those are very nice Pups. Are those from the "printed in color" offerings some of the designers have?
And how did their first combat sortie go?
