Three months ago I hardly knew this game existed.
I blame this awesome community for being a horrible, horrible influence on me
I blame all of you for this!

Another one bites the dust . . . welcome to the asylum . . . soon you will be seeing elves and their works . . .
I know the feeling. Great collection! Dang, those bombers are big.
Enjoy!
Welcome fellow flyer!
Thats a nice collection Cody!
But its only the "Start"!
Ha! wait three more months and you probably will find it hard to fit all of your planes on your map for a new picture.
Oh, yeah, Cody...
Blame us. Have you read my biography in my profile? It wasn't the Forum. although we are a bunch of enablers.
Personally, I blame Andrea [Angiolillo], the Game Designer. It's all his fault. Really.

3 months and that is ALL?????.....I got my balloon in the first month...no big uns though.....keep it up.
BTW, about half way through month 2 now.
The WGF is strong in that one.
oh come now. give into the addiction. its better this way
Like the way you went straight for the big planes. Another 3 months and it's going to be: "I'm gonna need a bigger cupboard"
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Nice work Cody. Just wait until you discover the joy of WGS!

Welcome Cody! Great start to the collection!
You have done well to collect all those injust three months, Cody.
Wow, what a great picture, and collection!
Right now I'm focusing on filling in the missing single-seat planes, so I have all 3 of a type. Have another D.VII, Tripehound, and Halberstadt on the way (though unfortunately the Halberstadt is the same model, wanted it for the deck. Might to a bit of paint work on it). Next on the list will probably be the remaining 2 SPAD VIIs and Hanriots.
Haven't picked up a Stakken yet. Don't know if I will.
Started all of this after spending a week or two trying to decided if I wanted to go WoG or SoG. Love the subject matter of them both, but ended up with WoG. One thing I love about this game is -unlike most of my other board/tabletop games- I can actually convince my non-gamer friends to play it. Everyone loves little aeroplanes, apparently.
A little out of focus but I like the angle better. Probably should have used a different lens:
It's Ok, I have two more maps... plus the 4 from the KS :PHa! wait three more months and you probably will find it hard to fit all of your planes on your map for a new picture.
NEVER, NEVER, add up the cost! Just look at the pretty planes and play.
If you think it is bad now...just wait until you also get in to WW2. Nice start on your collection, by the way. Isn't it amazing how quickly it can grow???
An definitely don't let SWMBO ever find out

A very nice collection Cody
But only one DR1? and you must have another Siemens Schuckert... and one HD1 is never enough and... Oh did I say that out loud??!!!
Guess it was my own addiction that spoke
Cody,you have some fun times ahead of you.
A commendable start, indeed!
All the best,
Matt
It's all down hill from here Cody. The more you get the more you want. Wait until you get into WGS and of course eventually Sails. Need I say more. Happy flying.
See you on the Dark Side......
Totally agree with this sentiment - or if you are really curious and have to know do it in a dark place where the wife/significant other can't see the results, lol
I can just hear the distant echo of "you have spent HOW MUCH????"...
Enjoy, and fill your boots..
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Cody; congrats on the nice start:
here's what you have to look forward too:

Welcome to the Drome Cody. Ontario is a large province. I know there are other Wings players there. Hopefully they will chime in and are close enough for a get together.
Karl. What is that little box with the red baron on, beside the WGS starterset?
Is it some special limited edition?

Yea, we don't ask those kinds of questions are here
Honestly, if I could have found the SoG starter set for less than a C-Bill I might have gotten than instead.

I'm having a very hard time finding any Dr.1s that aren't MvR's. A quick look at Amazon.Canuck and I'm looking at $81 CAD for LvR's, and anywhere from $85- >$100 on scambay.A very nice collection Cody

I'm probably going to acquire the rest of the Shcukerts on my next trip into Toronto, likewise with the Hanriots (as an aside, is it me or is the Hanriot an insanely fun plane to play?)
Unfortunately WGS doesn't really have many planes I want. I personally have little interest in the PTO. I'll probably get there eventually but not for a while. SoG starter packs are pretty rare and expensive. On top of my SW:A collection I'm trying to keep it reasonable (a word I redefine with every purchase LOL)

Not when you add shipping and convert it to CAD. The exchange rate is crap right now.
It's a Revel mini snap kit; several years ago, a member (GullyRaker?) posted about using these to build a few different Fokkers. They are a bit large for 1/144, but I thought it was worth the buy in, as this was before Shapeways was known to us. I still haven't done anything with them.Karl. What is that little box with the red baron on, deside the WGS starterset?

Never seen one of those.
The pic on the cover looked just like the one on the WGF delux set but it is an all red Dr1 isn't it? It was a bit hard to see in your pic
Thanks Karl
The HD1 IS a very fun plane to fly
I tried very hard not to say this, but found it impossible.
If you dont mind taking some advice, first thing to try out Shapeways will be to replace the Ares Sopwith Tri(rubbish)plane, keep the bases etc but replace the model asap, you will not regret it once you do
I think you were quite calm with this one, Chris.I tried very hard not to say this, but found it impossible.

Excellent. Nice collection Cody.
Eventually I want to do the Black Flight.I tried very hard not to say this, but found it impossible.

First planes from Shapeways will be DH.2s.
My painting skills reside somewhere between "crap" and "non-existant" though. One reason I really like pre-planned minis.
I wanted to play Sails of Glory (SOG) before I got into Wings of Glory (WOG). But for some reason I didn't get in on the Kickstarter campaign. We used to play Wooden Ships and Iron Men and usually enjoyed the game. In fact I still have it though I haven't played in quite some time. I ended up checking the reviews on both WOG and SOG and decided on WOG. Now I'm watching my funds. Between X-Wing and Wings of Glory I'm limited.
I'm not sure I need another collectible game. Maybe if I put together a list of ships and bought in and stopped.
Yeah I hear that. My current two are WoG and Star Wars Armada.
I completely understand, as I share a similar level of modeling skill. Chris is correct, however... especially considering your interest in Collishaw's Black Flight. Though you've got got pre-painted minis, you'll not have a Tripehound until you pick one up from Shapeways.
On that note, does anybody have a recommended Shapeways shop? There's a lot of 144 stuff on there.
I have ordered from most of them and am happy with them all. The designs are good but once in a while the printing can be messy. I've had noticeable stepping and missing rudders, but if you immediately contact Shapeways they will make good.
For which shop, I suppose it really dpends on what aircraft you want and quantity.
Some of the early designers, Kampfleiger and Colinwe for instance did quite a few different types but mainly as singles.
Later designers, ie Jbmacek and Reduced Aircraft Factory, also do different types but also do flights of two or three or even more models as a set.
This is only for WW1 and not a full list, but I have used all four of these designers and can recommend all their models. Take a look at the Shapeways sub section to have a look at various models.
Any questions just ask, someone will most likely have used the designer you are asking about
For Armada I got the core and Wave I and stopped. If I add anything it will most likely be on looks or tastes. I did the same for Imperial Assault and Eldritch Horror but added after Wave I. Getting into X-Wing has me thinking that I'll ever be 'all in' on games with never ending expansions.
For me get enough for flavor and a few more for replay and variety. Then I'm good.
Pity you don't live in British Columbia.... :)
I dumped a lot into Armada very quickly, it's easily one of the best tabletop games I've played. Accidentally oops'd some ships from Shapeways for that, too.
Though I pretty much shifted my spending to WoG for two main reasons: WoG can be played solo, and it can be played in under 3 hours. Armada can't do either.
For WW1, I've shopped Kampffleiger, Colinwe, Decapod, Jbmacek and Reduced Aircraft Factory. All with good results.
