Some nice birds there, David.
Since I have them all already I think I will leave it to those in need this time around.
(Unless I see something going too cheap!)

Orphan Repaints Sale! These repaints came in with and under all my trades. Most are rare and neat models but the repaints, not so much. If you are into repainting these could be the perfect canvas for your artistry. PM me your bid by Sunday mid-night AZ time and claim your new canvas! All have bases, cards, posts and a random box.
First item is a well painted Albatros D.III $15 bid
Next, Nieuport 23 Numbered "2" $10 bid
Next, Nieport 23 Single top wing Lewis gun $10 bid
A VERY colorful Fokker DVII, once a Schafer it appears, nicely done. Red nose and yellow balance, Lozenge on bottom wing and undersides of both wings. 10 bid
The tan Spad XIII with the number "2" and Stork decals.
Pfalz DIII Silver and black well painted and detailed with the silver stag, quite well done! $15 bid
The Red Pfalz DIII, also very well painted. The orange diamond on the top wing appears discolored but it is actually the radiator bronze color interruption that gives an odd look. Nice in hand though! $15 bid
So there we are for this sale, set your price and PM me. I will post the bids as the come in. Enjoy!

Nice list of items.
Ooooh, Hanriots, and I was trying to not spend money.
So want another P-40 or two but must resist...........
Bids updated 1/23. Only 2 days left . . .
Are you still selling the Zeppelins?
How do I bid via PM?
Never mind. Got it.

Updated bids 1/24, one more day! : )
Greetings Lance, (and other inquirer's) the answer to the Zeppelin question is yes. However they are a bit larger than the last time you ordered, they are now 1/144" scale, same as the minis, so they are around 6" in diameter and over 36" long! They come with 2 position altitude stands, base, management cards, and instruction guide. Cost is $200 plus ~$20 for first class postage in the US. Yes, a bit bigger!
Colors: There are 3 left, (2) grey, and (1) dark blue (not scale but very cool, same color as the Staaken bomber!).
A little expensive, but way cool! Cheers! Dave

Ok I now have a Zeppelin near the top of my list. I bought one from you a few years ago. In a moment of weakness I was talked into selling it. Argh. Two college degrees and 6 decades of experience and I still do STUPID, STUPID things!! So I will be PMing you soon. I bought one of the Hawk Zeppelins but between work and theater I'll never have time to build it.
Penultimate update on January auction, 3.5 hours left : )
Zeppelin Production News . . .
Just finished a not-so-good news visit with my bone specialist, the bone replacement therapy is not working so regaining use of my hands is questionable. I am down to the last (3) 1/144" scale Zeppelins in Grey (2) and Staaken Blue (1). $200 each plus postage . . . last of the many : (
I am also clearing out my supply of ships.
1/144" scale British Destroyer $75 USD (1) left
1/200" scale IJN Destroyers $75 USD (4) left
Like Zoe, Dave, profanities were the first things out of my mouth when I read this latest news - I, too, hope you overcome the odds and carry on creating. Take care, my friend!
Always the best,
Matt
"Never give up, never surrender". I'm sure you know that already and we're all praying for you.
im very saddened to hear of your medical plight. i hope very much the outlook improves. be well dave!!!!
My first thought was WTF?!
Sorry to hear the news David...
I shall be sending some positive energy your way.
Best wishes Dave, despite the medical opinion I hope things turn around for you.
But even if they don't, although your creative hands are a big part of who you are and what you do they are not everything that is special about you. Those of us on this forum who have never even met you have seen and always benefit from your knowledge, wisdom and generosity of spirit.
Clipper you are to us and Clipper you ever shall remain
Thanks all, I have been in a decline for a few months now, hand and finger control is still good, but holding things over 6 ounces and applying any force is painful and not recommended, happily paint brushes and minis are light and manageable-opening stuck paint bottles is a nightmare! Major carving and lifting are out. Working on large diameter handles for some of my tools so I can hold them without slipping. And I spend a lot more time thinking how the heck I can do that now, years of process engineering is paying off . . . WTF? Doesn't that mean "WOW that's fantastic!"? : )
'Where's The Filler' perhaps Dave; wishing you well from across the pond, hope you can develop a paint pot opening device
"He is wise who watches"
Oh David I am so sorry to hear of your health problems.
Mate there will be prayers for you every night so hopefully you will beat the odds & be able with the help of your Elves to regain your "Mojo"!
I am sure the family will open those obstinate paint pots for you.
For once Dave I can only echo the sentiments so ably expressed by Carl.
As another member who has gained a living by the use of his hands, I can fully understand your plight.
However, as my sight fades I find ways around the challenges which beset me from day to day, and from what you have said already, can only say "keep the Aspidistra flying."
I will prey for a change in your prognosis my dear friend.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Sad news indeed David. I've been a silent admirer of you and your elves ever since I discovered this site.
I do hope (as there is nothing stronger then hope) you will be able to continue enjoying your (and our) hobby.
In Dutch "hou je haaks",
cheers,
Guus

"zet 'm op ... witte muizen !" (strijdkreet van 1e JaVa, Luchtvaart Afdeling, Nederland 1940)
"let's go get them ... white mice !" (battlecry of the 1st Fighter Group, Army Air Force, Netherlands 1940)
I am hoping that my interpretation of that is much worse than it is in reality.
David you are a true artist and that would be a shame if you are not able to continue at the level you have been!
WTF Wheres the Funds?? I need to buy stuff.
Seriously all the best and it sounds like you are figuring out the work a-rounds. Keep it up.
Dave, I hope you beat the odds and improve in your health. Everyone on the forum is rooting for you.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!

As I said in my PM, we're all pulling for you Dave!
Here's hoping you can keep doing that which you love so much, and which we all find so astonishing and motivating.
All power to you and your Elves...................
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
David, I am so sorry on so many levels to hear of your problems.
I sincerely hope that your specialist is able to pull a miracle out of his medicine bag for you.
Lest we forget
The tan Zeppelin arrived yesterday..........................
Man, it's HUGE!!!!!!!
Thanks so much, Dave!
Thanks, Elves!!!!!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
