    Default Clipper's List


    Well here we go, new toys, new prices! My madness has reached an impasse with my family, sell off some of this stuff to make room for ANY MORE NEW ONES! They seem serious this time. One can only use a few hundred minis after all . . .

    Here's the cream of the crop, willing to sell, trade, etc. Each model comes with a base, ball gimble mount that fits standard altitude pegs, and is shipped post paid US and I will split overseas postage in half to where ever else! Enjoy, some models and colors are limited, PM if you have special requests. i do custom work as well. All aircraft are 1/144" scale and have been featured on the site threads. Construction is bass wood, styrene, wire, and plastics. Bases are featured on Bomber Bases on a Budget thread.



    New Zeppelins at 1/214 scale are underway even now, Type P @ 29.4" long, Type R (Super Zeppelins @ 36.25" long and Altitude Climbers @ 36" long) should be ready to ship by April.

    Zeppelins come with arc templates, telescoping stands, management cards. Price $125 USD


    Drachens, on telescoping stands, acrylic bases, black, toupe, grey, brown. Price $50 USD

    SSZ Coastal Blimp, on telescoping stand, acrylic base. full 1/144" scale. Price $90 USD

    Zeppelin Staaken, black, dark blue, medium blue, lozenge on request. Price $115 USD

    Shorts 184 (1) each as shown Price $75 USD

    Felixstowe, (2) red/white stripes, (1) red/white checkered Price $75 USD

    Muromets, (2) grey Price $85 USD

    Lohner L (2) red/white/wood, (2) red/white/grey Price $60 USD

    Dornier RS III (3) linen Price $75 USD

    Gotha GI (2) green, (2) linen, (1) toupe Price $75 USD

    Caproni Ca 4 (3) dark green, (2) toupe Price $85 USD

    Otto C 1 (2) dark green, (2) linen, (2) toupe $60 USD

    So there they are! Drop me a note if any interest you. Now onto the new Zeps!

    Hey Clipper. You are keeping busy.

    I just ran my first convention game with your L11 (AAR to follow soon). One thing that I was thinking while the game was going on was that it would be neat to have a set of dials on one of the altatude pegs to track damage. One ring with 0 to 12 on it, and another with 0-9, double stacked like the A.A. altatude dials. Just a thought.

    Yes Tim, I have 3 left in the camo in the smaller 1/214" scale size, they sell for $125 USD and the latest postage to the UK was $49-seems the winter rates are in effect . . . more headwinds I guess . . . Dave

    First, I can't believe that you even have all these custom planes in your collection. But to also hear that you are selling all of these? It's like you are a competitor against WGF and this is your store front lol. Lovely stuff here!

    I am just having too much fun! My goal is to enrich and enhance the game, NEVER to compete! The builds are fun challenges for me, I have spent over 40 years building flying scale models from indoor rubber scale B-24's to outdoor 1/4 scale RC. Here's my first WWI build I did at age 12, still have, still flies (control line scale). Yeah its in my blood! And it is hopeless!

    Hi clipper1801, I just have 2 words to say, Zeppelins! & Zeppelins! I think I read you will paint one to desired color of buyer? And I was thinking of adding a lot more M.G.'s. Do you take that kind of request too? I only know of 2 classes, type P & type R[supper Zepp's]. I was reading the type R - L.32 had 10 x MG's, thats some defensive fire-power. I just recently bought and watched the movie ' Hell's Angel's', seen it? The opening action scene, a Zeppelin attacked. But this is what I liked, on the top of the Zepp., there were 2 adjacent guns forward and 2 aft,facing port & starboard, engine nacelles had 1. I would like to see about 3 in the command Gondola. Would you add more to the ones you build? I don't mean this many, just more. I'm not ready to buy one from you yet, just wondering about adding MG's and differ. color, even though I like the camo too.
    One other thing, RC! I love them also. Have only one. Want to build a Nieuport 28,about 35" wing. Did you see the new plane from 'Hobby King', Fokker E. III, 4-channel, 40" wing, its listed as Beginner/trainer, thats where I'm still at, but looks like a fun plane to fly. ARF, needs Radio & receiver! And cheap, $96.72. It might not be for you, but maybe for others not yet into RC, but wants to, this looks like a good plane to start with and its WWI!
    Last thing, ever build or thought of a RC Zeppelin?

    So this is you? I remember this a few years ago and almost ordered one, are they still available? I used your pictures as inspiration for an indoor electric foam R/C Staaken, but got distracted with the Zeppelin Project. PM me when you get some time. Dave

    I too was interested in buying your airplane. I too got distracted and lost the thread. Are your airplanes still available? Clipper, I'm still interested in your zeppelins. If they become available again, I would like one as well.

    Trust me, as a fortunate owner of several of these. As good as these look in the pictures, they're even more so to actually see and hold them in person. I am truly blessed to have Dave as my friend and as a member of our flight. He is truly awesome.

    This is beyond impressive, sir. My jaw dropped literally, and it hasn't re-attached itself just yet. Now I almost wish I get outbid on ebay, so I have the funds to divert to you. How many of the Drachens do you have?

    Five drachens at the moment, they drift in and out with the tides of war : ) And with the rocketeers gearing up they may go up in smoke!

    Hello,
    Your work is Magnificent! Truly Outstanding! And I will own a few favorite's.I Like the Gotha G1 and the Drachens but Love the
    Dornier RSIII and the Zeppelin's mostly. Paypal is bone dry, Ebay! Need to reload. Must stop spending there and spend here. [ Do you take Paypal or just credit cards, checks?] I seen 'For Sale or Trade', I have a slightly used Wife & 2 cats, think about it, I delivery! But really, I will be giving you some business. Thanks for using your talent and skills for making this game a little better.

    A, yeah. I do the custom thing a lot. If you have a color scheme and armament plan I can make it. I have a couple dozen cut and first filled sitting in my very hot garage. Not a problem for the zeps but a 90 degree shop is not a happy place for humans. Even the elves rebel! I am resorting to summer schedules which means into the shop at 6:00 am and work there till 8:00 am then off to work. Progress on the zeps is slow but so are sales at the moment. Gives me time to work indoors on the minis! So far my wife does not mind the dining room table painting zone. Good plan to have a 4 x 6 foot table! We can eat at one end and as she does her needle work I can do my models, has worked great for 35 years! The kids had to find their own room along the way. Lately there has been a proliferation of Flames of War and Dr. Who minis on their side of the table. Families that build together stay together (mostly to share the glue and lights).

    And they are done! First 5 off the building bench, meet the Super Zeppelins! Still at 1/214 scale they come in at 36+" and have a new altitude and attitude! Bringing one of these down is a bit more challenging that ever before . . .



    They are going for a mere $130 since they require a bit more packaging, the elves are waiting on the phone lines . . . Clipper

    While I have a type P Zeppelin, and am acquiring some 1/200 home defence aircraft for specific scenarios using it, that North Sea Blimp looks tempting... as do the telescoping stands.

    The North Sea Airship is amazing Zoe. I'm just trying not to go Zep in the night. I really don't know how I would hide that one unless Clipper does it in invisible paint.

    I received a black drachen this week. Absolutely beautiful, and David is wonderful to do business with.

    I might as well inform my employer to simply send you a few checks, David, for I think it is safe to say you will have a repeat customer here.

    Thanks for your service and for enhancing our games.
