Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter

[berthier]

Shapeways 1 1/2 Strutters in two variants, one is a single seater the other a two seater.

Things I would do next time
- probably switch back to matt finish rather than gloss
- get some pilots!
- figure out how to put some machine guns in the observers seat (wish someone would produce 1/144 accessories for the planes themselves as discussed in another thread)

In the background reinforcements waiting for finishing.

Wikipedia has a really nice article on this aircraft for those of you who are interested

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_1%C2%BD_Strutter

As a side note, all the models are WSF, painted in Vallejo paints, decals by Dom...I wish to thank my family....oops wrong speech.

None of the models had any structural issues, I'm loathe to seem partisan but I've only had one dud from this supplier and that was credited. I have had props fall off in shipping but that's hardly an issue and I only order in WSF now.

You may also be interested to know that 3D printing is taking off in the medical field, particularly dentistry. :eek:

They look great Daniel. Did you know that Peter Pig now do rear gunners for both sides. Also Reviresco do a mixed pack of pilots and gunners.

Hey Rob I knew there were some pilots available, but it's MG, bombs etc I'd like to see as well

Rob
I found the Peter Pig ones but the Reviresco site is a nightmare and I cant find pilots. Link takes me to Airco DH-2. do you have a link? Thanks

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I tried my normal link and it took me to the same place as you. I can only think that they are either withdrawn or have a glitch on the site. I would drop an E-mail if you are that keen. However they are only Gunners with attached guns just like PP ones.

Nice one Dan, take a look at Max album he did a couple of cards for me if you are interested

Me too. I object to cutting up a Peter Pig rear gunner every time I want a Lewis gun.

I don't know much about the Shapeways process, but could some clever person make bombs and guns for us that way?

Colinwe's doing a "detailing kit", only suitable for printing in FUD. Send him a PM and get him to include some bombs on the sprue, as well as the lewis guns, parabellums, hotchkisses, Fiats, etc.

Now that sounds good for a couple of my Neuports, I will keep a look out for that

Nice job. I have them on my next order but for France. Fills the 1917 year for recon/bomber used by France (over a 1,000 built). Also for Bloody April by the British another time I'm interested in.

:thumbsup: Nice work Daniel!
I am an "early War" aircraft fan as you no doubt know & it richens the game to be able to progress from 1914/5 right through to 1918 with a correct mix of Aircraft.
