Lovely job on the Shapeways.

Tried to REP you, Tim but damned gun is jammed.
Nice work on all of the Eindeckers you posted.

[Guntruck]

Nicely done, Mr Helmut

[Karo7]

Superb! Looking at your different Eindecker it's obvious, that in the case of quality, Valom is 1st, Shapeways 2nd and Red Eagle 3rd.

That Fokker E.I looks fantastic Tim

[Hedeby]

Very nice indeed (or should I say, as usual?) Tim

[Marechallannes]

Detailed work, Tim.

[Flying Helmut]

Thanks for the accolades, chaps!

Detailed work, Tim.

I have a very old book about Ancient Period Wargaming, and one statement from it has always stuck with me........................

Referring to the painting of Wargame miniatures "if you can't be bothered to paint them properly, why should they bother to fight for you?"
