Gotta love Saturday delivery . . .
Perfect start to a new workbench thread.
The way Shapewayts packs their stuff there might only be 6 planes in that box. But I bet there are more then that.
Looks like Christmas, Dave :D

New pilot reported for duty.
I know, I know - not the correct forum, but I have printed and painted these for my flying mate Baxter, for when we indulge in a more watery battle-ground:

thats pretty ingenious. i wouldnt have thought of that. i wouldve cut some cardboard and duct taped something together lol.
Solidifying plans for my first sample batch of Ground Targets...
Base models: GHQ US90 M4A1(75) Sherman and G548 Panzer IV-H
Paints: Vallejo 71.043 US Olive Drab (Shermans); 70.604 German Dark Yellow, 70.092 Medium Olive and 70.041 Armour Brown (Panzers for green-and-brown-over-Dunkelgelb)
Bases, per platoon: 2 double Shermans and 1 single (command tank), 2 double Panzer (Pz platoon = 4 tanks ca. 1944; 3 if Tigers)
Problems:
1. Figuring out how to do good "grass/ground" cover on bases.
2. Something unique to mark "commander" tanks that I can actually do with my poor dexterity... AAM had its Command Tanks with figure top-halves sticking out of the turrets, but that was twice the scale and even painting those would be Screaming Nightmare Time.

Could it be . . . no . . .
DB, Tigers had 14 tanks per company - 45 per Abteilung - on paper at least.
4 per platoon; 3 plt per company + 2 command.
With the reduced numbers pairs of Tigers would be more appropriate to offer - then the consumer can decide whether to add more to create a company and you don't have to worry about odd ones on bases. Just a thought.
Malachi, loving the snoopy! Clipper, amazing. Love the space station! The only thing that could make it better is if it was Babylon 5.
Not many, but significant...........
"Michael Wittmann (22 April 1914 – 8 August 1944) was a German Waffen-SS tank commander during the Second World War. He is known for his ambush of elements of the British 7th Armoured Division, during the Battle of Villers-Bocage on 13 June 1944. While in command of a Tiger I tank, Wittmann destroyed up to fourteen tanks and fifteen personnel carriers, along with two anti-tank guns, within the space of fifteen minutes."
Also, throw in a handful of Tiger IIs!
"It was first used in combat by 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion following the Allied invasion of Normandy, on 11 July 1944;"
2 Kompanies had 12 Tiger I Ausf. E, the other Kompanie had 10 Konigstiger (Porsche turret).
Uh-oh...............................
I'm gonna need a bigger workbench......

ISS RTF! After orbiting in the summer kids program over the past few months the ISS has returned to base for updates and repairs which the elves did efficiently. It is now back in my office in low orbit, awaiting the Space X Dragon to arrive from Shapeways.

Tim with a box that size we have to see what you have in there. I guess I have to take a photo of my order that should be here next week. Only 10 planes so the box might not be that big.
Lots of nice stuff and Clipper is on a roll again. finished up my weekly slug of Civ war and a bunch of D and D characters.

Clipper, that box is huge! Exactly how many shapeways can you get in one box?
How many are in that monster?:eek:
An HP 0/400 arrived with a broken front MG then after repair I started adding a few details. Then I had to do my other one. I'm confident many of you are familiar with the malady...

railway targets
David; Your postmaster either loves you or hates you ("Gaaaa....he's back with another carload of who knows what!")
Chris; very nice targets. I'd bomb or defend them in a heartbeat :thumbsup:
Karl
Thank you, Karl. Hopefully we can live that dream in person someday soon!
Dave, maybe this pair from KAGOHL 3?

Red, according to "Phaeon", but they've made mistakes before...........................
Like those paint options on the Gothas
Can't wait to see the paint job on all those. My Shapeways box is in the local PO since Sat so hope to get it this week.
They are nice but I've done them all, even the red/green show . . . where's the checkerboards, the leopards, the flames . . . Help me Mr. Wizard!
Awesome Gothas!
Dave, what is the Gotha with the auxiliary nacelle?
That's the Gotha G.VI an asymmetric design to reduce drag. P.142 of German G-Type Bombers of WWI by Jack Herris . . .
