Early Bird Actions
Just ran across some pictures from 2012 with some VERY early birds from my collection, enjoy!
Very nice they are too David

Those are just magnificent!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Very nicely done we need need the birds like F.E.2b
Cracking sets of wings Dave.

With a few more early friends . . .
Rumors of dragons from Mars . . .
. . . we be ready!
Here's my fave F.E.2b photo:
I do love the Pfalz Eindekkers with the black lines.
It does make a magnificent pulpit, doesn't it.Here's my fave F.E.2b photo:

Must have been a difficult job, I have been a Chaplain, but those guys back then didn't have the technology and decent reliable equipment we do these days, no parachutes and ejection seats! He does have their attention though . . . somewhere in France I am told . . .
Great models, David!
Awesome eindekkers. Are they Ares repaints?
nice! i especially love those taubes!!!
Those are Pfalz Eindeckers, not Fokkers, so are probably Shapeways? or possibly the elves own design/construction..................

Must admit to prefering the Phalz’s and agree the Taube’s look great too.
Nice pics Dave
Reverse temporal inspiration . . . Omaka's brilliant display . . .
All these minis are early Shapeways . . .
Stunning work. Love those early birds!

I didn't do up the Back Card for this one, as I don't know the squadron nor pilot. I suspect they are both 'Unknown'?
PS: Beautiful paint job.

I somehow missed this scheme: historic, David?
It's nicely done, and more interesting than the basic doped linen.

Like the picture Dave, and also your E III and card Mike.
I may well be flying a few sorties in the New Year.

That was 6 years ago! In old guy years that's decades ago. It was authentic but no pilot info, AH colors fall camo. Did it with a dry brush technique. . .
It's very effective and very well done, also very different.
Well I have made some decisions. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is here and the war is done . . . I was feeling a bit down with no one to share my fun with when Mrs. Clipper announced an end to my Gloom. Andrew is coming home for a month from Christmas on! . . . A Suitable Victim, I mean opponent! Its time to do a re-start! I have the elves digging out the DEEP boxes. I have cleared a suitable combat zone from Mrs. Clipper. "Till Andrew leaves in January you can set up a "play" zone on the landing while he is here."
Ah, I can hear the engines coming to life, we will start where it all did, Fokker Spinn III's, Taubes, wobbly planes and all . . . oh my! "Who's with me?" The elves have offered their services to those without proper wings!
Early Zepps too! We Ha!
Food for thought, can I make this easier . . . . ?

Taubes! Now that's talking Dave.

So will be needing damage numbers for flinging bags of bricks and the odd grappling hook attack then
Yea more Taubes needed
Maybe Dave, but they just look so great spotting even in the background, we have to have a couple at least.So will be needing damage numbers for flinging bags of bricks and the odd grappling hook attack then
Then there is the Martinsyde Elephant to consider as well.
