    Some hint as to what has been happening might be gained by looking at whats been turning up for sale on EBay recently.
    Plenty of WoW Fokkers, Brumowski Albatros DIII`s or Nieuports still seem to available if you are willing to bid for them.

    The Ebay prices are crazy...just look at what happens in the last 10 minutes of an auction.

    I have extended the contest until the 30th of this month due to the recent issues with the site. Hope this helps out some of you.

    This may just save my entry! I've been falling severely behind on schedule.

    You're a star Oberst!

    I was actually frantically working on mine when this post popped up!

    Thanks, Herr Oberst!

    Thanks Keith for that but it looks like I will still miss out as the Nieuport 17 I ordered from S/ways via Zoe ended up a knitted one & still awaiting a replacement!

    That was not a comment by an "Unregistered Guest", but rather by I, the dastardly Dark Horse, throwing down the challenge! BWAHAHA!

    I have a couple of models to work on, but real life is conspiring against me, so its unlikely I'll be able to get to work on either of them (or indeed anything) until late May!

    Barry, you could build and paint a crashed Nieuport 17, too!

    Mine one has been posted several days ago. That means your repaints will be much more detailed

    Hi Zoe,

    I have reaction regarding your complaint.

    We are going to re-print the models for you. The new order number is: 111499

    I hope this helps you out.

    Regards,
    Kind Regards,

    Joost Denissen
    Unless there's an extension of the comp deadline, I think the 7 N-17s in the order will come too late...

    Don't think you need worry about me Andrzej. The way things are going, I'll be lucky if I manage to start painting on the evening of the thirtieth, since monday seems to be the first real chunk of hobby time I have available in the near future.
    One small blessing though, is that the deadline is actually a couple of hours after midnight (thanks to the time difference) - I fear that I might need that extra time.

    Looking grim for my entry. Still no decals (not whinging, I was late ordering them) and discovered tonight that Tarzan's Grip is NOT a substitute for superglue (metal model). Now I have to peel the Tarzan's Grip off the struts, bendy buggers they are, and start again.



    I am away all weekend on a church camp I am organising, but lets see if a miracle happens and I get it done Sunday/Monday nights...

    Having problem myself, but for different reason. Complications from pulled put tooth necessitates lots of decent strength painkillers - Makes fiddly build more or less impossible. Have to hope for problems to pass soon, so that I can finish build - And finally get down to painting!

    Would you like to add getting the U.K. Members lists up to date to that. Find the missing wingman game! My plane has been done for a month and I still need to photograph it.

    Phew! I finally finished mine yesterday & took the pics. Had terrible trouble with some of the ID decals that kept splitting.
    Had to wait for sooooo long due to the first lot of S/ways aircraft sent to Zoe that were not perfect!

    Oh well never mind at least I will have another early war plane to carry the fight to the Huns.

    Default Zombie Apocalypse

    Putting on the final decals now. Then waiting to dry, varnishing, dullcoting, touching up, and photographing.

    The model is sub-standard, but I'm pleased with it anyway. My natural reaction to things turning to custard is to take it as a Challenge.

    So I've attempted to resuscitate the truly awful Nieuport 17 models that we got from Shapeways. I've only worked on three so far, but I'm putting one of these "Zombies" in for the comp.

    How bad were they?

    That bad. As I said, a Challenge.

    So if I get a half- or even quarter-decent model out of it, I'll be pleased. I think I have, and while they may never be good enough to display, they should be OK for gaming.

    Some gals do knitting, or crochet, as a form of meditation, occupying the hands while the mind is elsewhere. I do filing, and filling, and sanding, and painting.

    Zoe, interesting textures there........Have you thought of leaving them natural and using washes and a dry brushing to bring out the unique camo?

    Ahhh I thought those were crocheted, sad we still get these still turning up. I replaced mine in the end.
    I'm sure you'll do a sterling job as usual Zoe

    At last I finished the plane. The photos are unforgiving and I could keep on forever It will be very intresting to see the other entries. The Alabtros DIII challenge was awesome with all the nicely painted planes. Iám sure this will turn out the same way

    Model completed, pictures taken... but now my camera won't talk to my computer(s), the USB port is KO, so looks like I'll have to go with plan B - low-res pics from my mobile phone.
