After all the discussions recently about reprint delays or lack of reprints I thought it may be time to explore painting up my own. I’m looking at early planes such as the E.III. (Dh2 and Halberstadt as well. I have the Morane)
After looking at Fleabay prices doing my own models seems the way to go.
From research here on the site it looks like place to go is Shapeways and pick your preferred manufacturer. First question; fine detail or professional plastic?
Decals should be easy. Set of simple crosses and good to go.
A base seems simple enough, Aerodrome accessories flight base with some scavenged pegs.
Now the biggie, cards. The plane card should be a non issue with the stats printed in the Aerodrome base. The Immelmann booster is next to impossible to find so maneuver cards are a problem. Maybe use the MATS cards here on site? Print out three then write down which is being used for each turn? A real pain in the butt but I don’t see anoher way. Suggestions?
