A toast to the Aerodrome

[Oberst Hajj]

In the near future you will be able to raise an actual Aerodrome glass when you toast your fellow pilots here on the Aerodrome. Here is a sneak peak of the new Aerodrome glass that will be going on sale later this week...

Each glass will come with the Aerodrome site logo on one side and your choice of Dr.I or Camel on the other (I might be adding more planes in the future). There will be an option to add your user name above the site logo. Price is going to be $9.99 for the standard glass with the user name option adding $2.00. These will be made to order, so please allow a week for me to engrave them.

[P-51D]

These are great! I will be ordering one for sure, and even more if you do a P-51D variant down the line! That laser of yours will certainly be useful!

[Oberst Hajj]

Oh, I forgot to mention that these are 16oz glasses.

And yes Daniel, my wife and kids are already finding out how useful it is to them. lol

[Nightbomber]

These are FANTASTIC! :D

[MoonSylver]

Those are lovely! I'll be so down for one! :pint:

[Jager]

I'll be looking forward to this.
Thanks Keith!
:thumbsup:

[Captain Chum]

Wow....:eek: Very cool glasses Sir Oberst! :cool::cool::cool::cool:

These will look great with some wine in them.:)

[Flying Officer Kyte]

That is sure going to be a money spinner Keith, and has just preempted me by a few days in shelling out on getting some G&T glasses engraved at my local Trophy store. Thank goodness you posted now.
Rob.

[flash]

Shiny ! :pint:

[Doug]

I will be down for a couple as well:thumbsup:

[Oberst Hajj]

Glad you guys are liking them. They are a big hit around my house.

Rob, what size and shape G&T glass were you going to get? What were you going to put on them? Shoot me a PM with the details please.

[Flying Helmut]

I'll be after a couple as well!

[Brambo]

Fantastic, I want one for sure, thanks Keith :thumbsup:

[gully_raker]

:thumbsup: I certainly will be ordering one of those Keith!

Camel for me & "Hearts of Oak Sqd." as the name!:D

[Blackronin]

I'll want one for sure, Keith. My birthday is coming in February and if a certain young lady doesn't know what to offer me... I might have a clue or two...

[grumpybear]

I'm in for at least 1 or two. Looks great

[skyking20]

Oh are you kidding me!!! That is so cool. I love getting coffee cups from cool places that I visit through work or vacations. This will start a whole new thing for me, But no I won't be letting the wife and kids use them unless they play more WoG with me! Then I'll get them their own glass.

[Blauer Baron]

Tastefully done. Engraved glasses can look awful, but this is spot on. Good idea and good end product.

[Dan-Sam]

Wow, it would be a nice trophy for Prague Con winner! I will think about one or two or three or...

[Oberst Hajj]

I like the way you think sir!

I'm actually going to be making a trophy for this years Wings of Glory Aerodrome Invitational Tournament winner. If you like, I could do an award for your Con as well. We can work the details out via PM.

[skyking20]

The invitational is at Origins!? Who do I need to bribe? :money:

[Oberst Hajj]

Just signup for it when you register at Origins. It's open to all members of the site and any players we happen to recruit during the Con. Last year we had 24 slots for that game and had 24 players with a few waiting to see if they could get in. So, if you really feel the need to bribe someone, I'll PM you my details. :p

[fast.git]

So, if you really feel the need to bribe someone, I'll PM you my details. :p

I'll happily accept your bribe. :cheezy:

[Oberst Hajj]

I'll happily accept your bribe. :cheezy:

But you would have to bribe me to allow you to be bribed... much easier to just cut out the middle man :D

[Oberst Hajj]

Back on topic, these glasses are now up on the site for order (http://www.aerodromeaccessories.com/index.php/apperal/aerodrome-customized-pint-glass.html).

Very cool. Any idea how long the "coming soon" time-frame is for other kites will be?

I'll order mine when I am back from Cancon.

[Oberst Hajj]

Not really. I do have some artwork already for other planes, but it is in a different style and I need to do some testing to see how well they will engrave. I've used this same artwork on other products (like the Rotary Cockpits), so that gives you and idea of what I've got lined up for the next couple of planes.

[7eat51]

Keith, these look really nice. I am always a bit leery about such items. Far too many look like something kids buy on spring break. These don't; they have class.

I am looking forward to seeing what other types of glasses you might use.

Looks like a new collection is about to start.

[skyking20]

I was also wondering if coffee cups are in our future as well. A great way to advertize my hobby at work.

An excelent idea, Keith. I will mention it in our thread.

Oh, sometimes I like what I see when the collage kids are on spring break. lol

Thinking about it. I can etch on ceramic, but it has little to no contrast so the images don't show up very well. There are some colored mugs out there, but I have to find some I like that are not pastel colors.

[Oberst Hajj]

Here is the artwork I already have that was done by one of our very own members. I've not etched these yet, so I don't know how how they will come out.

By the way, there are some mugs that show a picture when you fill them with some hot liquid. It will be pretty cool to see enemies on the tail of normal printed plane when you fill the mug :)

[Teaticket]

Nice! Looks like a new full set of glasses will be filling many cupboards.

[Brambo]

I do like that DR.I picture :thumbsup:

[Jager]

Oh, D.VII!

[MoonSylver]

Those are some nice looking pics! Look forward to hearing how they come out in glass. Highly interested in coffee mugs as well. I use one of those a lot! ;)

I have one of the mugs that the Oberst used to do and very nice it is too.

[tikkifriend]

Very Stylish and at a reasonable price. :thumbsup::) Whats the shipping cost to the European squadrons?

[Oberst Hajj]

Have not quoted it yet, but they are not super cheap to ship. You can add one to your cart at the AA site and it will tell you. With box and padding, they weigh in at just over a pound. But if ordered with other items, it should not be to bad.

[Boney10]

Now they look nice, I can get a nice drop of Port in one of those.l
Will have to get a pair of them, most likely the Albatross for my Jasta 5

Notice I made no mention of a Triplane what so ever, yes I know its a Dr1 :)

[predhead]

Very cool, but the better half's head may explode if I add to the pint glass collection!

[tractorboy]

Wow Keith, I just saw this thread. These glasses look fantastic! I will be ordering several, any reason to drink beer gets a thumbs up here! Had a question, the SE 5a is roughly $20 for the glass? Also must give a vote for the DH 2 and D Va.

[Brambo]

Keith, can these be done on whisky glasses? I love the Dr.I and Albatross.:thumbsup:

[Boney10]

Or Port glasses :)

[Oberst Hajj]

Kirk, the site is processing the SE5 incorrectly... it should be the same price as the others. I'll look into that this afternoon. As for the the DH 2 and D.Va, I've got artwork for those similar to the SE5 already. I'll check them out to ensure they engrave well and add them to the site also.

Excellent!

[Flying Helmut]

I took delivery of my first glass last week, a Flying Helmut Fokker tripe.
It's magnificent! I will surely order more types in future.

[Oberst Hajj]

Price on the SE5 has been fixed.

[BobP]

I just saw this and have to agree with everyone. They look great and the more I see them I think I must order them. You should off them as a mixed set wit one having the pilots name.

[BobP]

Idea----Next raffle one of each glass + flask?

[Oberst Hajj]

Being a one man operation, I try to keep the number of product SKUs to a minimum. So I don't fore see a "complete set" option anytime soon. Sorry.

But I will tell you, the first week I had the laser I made a custom glass for the wife and kids... it's amazing how quickly these become "your glass"! When the kid's set the table, everyone always gets their personal glass. When ever I reach for a glass, I find my self looking for either my Aerodrome or Anchorage glass first. lol And my little man is still a little upset that he did not get a glass... at not quite 4 years old, he's not yet ready for such a large and heavy glass to drink from. Poor little guy.

Brings back fond memories of my set of Burger King "Return of the Jedi" glasses...I was devestated when my Granddad smashed Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight while washing dishes...:cry:

I need to get one of these & drink a toast to poor ol' Luke, gone but not forgotten...:salute::lol:
