We have the set between us Chris. Did you notice that mine was Black Maria.
Yours are the RNAS. Just a coincidence?
Rob.
You have got a good finish on that for FUD Barry.
Rob.
My two. Both Shapeways.
Nicely done Tony. Shapeways seem to be getting the hang of the Knitting problem, or is it just a lot of work on your part?
Whoes plane is N 5387?
Rob.
They were badly knitted it took lots of work to get a smooth surface. Thank you both for your kind comments.
Tony
I like the detail in those engines
I have always liked the Sopwith tripe. You all have done a great job. Thanks for letting us see them.
My Sopwith Tripe made in resin with brass details by "AB Model". Next time I will get Shapeways...
Nice paint job there Hayden , are you going to use that plane in our next game as I'd love to christen it for you
Brilliant paint job on both the Tripehound and the Tank.
It must have been flying really fast in that first picture! That's the beauty of mobiles. They get fixated on one dominant feature, and it's usually not the one you want.
As for stopping smoking, just avoid them shooting holes in your oil feed pipe.
When I stopped, I had an ashtray full of all my old stubs and ash, and every time I felt like a smoke I went and smelt it. You could try that, it worked for me.
Rob.
Nice Tripehound Hayden - what make is it ? I gave up smoking during a bout of flu then to maintain it I thought about how much it was costing me in tax...the anger fuelled the determination to stop - plus it gave me more money to spend on wargames stuff !
Nice planes all of you.But Barry who are the pilot of your Sopwith Triplane?Reminds me of the Sopwith tripe of R.A.Little (that beautiful plane!)
Nick
Great work to on all of the Tripes in the pics. I'm holding off until they are released this year.
She's an SRAM, and i'm sorry about the tank making an appearance but these are the only pics I have of my lonely tripe
I'm on tablets to help me quit smoking, but you don't want to know the side effects
I may give her a 'maiden' sortie this weekend, vs one of Baron Rolfs DR.1's.
Making a guest appearance after a while MvR will break in your new tripe for you Hayden
This one has been waiting in the hangar to get some paint...
Its a Kampflieger Shapeways model.
I found the porfile on line but didn't bother with the serial number as i have no way to print white letters
Close up pictures always emphasize little flaws so it looks like I'll have to do something about the squadron markings...one of the bars has a little "hook"
I really should put the serial on it, don't I?
Ok I'll get at it during the weekend!
I think it was back in the summer (hopefully not last spring) that I bought a Shapeways Tripe for Son#1. The first one was a total wreck, so Shapeways sent me another. That, too, was a total wreck, and they sent me a credit which I used on something else. I did promise Son#1 a plane, and this weekend I was finally able to finish one of those two Shapeways planes. The knitting is still visible in places, but if I showed you a pic of the other plane, which was just as bad, you'd cringe.
The colors were of #1's choosing. His favorite color is blue.
And yes, at the moment I'm "boycotting" Reviresco pilots. It's not that I don't like them, but I'm looking around for something I like better.
You have a steady hand young sir ! Take it it's another SRAM kit ?
Made a really good job of that paintwork Hayden.
Rob.
Very nice, great touch on the striping and hearts.
Great looking Tripes, all.
Looks a lot better than mine!
Nice job on alla those triplanes.
My version of Naval 1 aircraft No 4

Like Alex, above, I dont have a printer giving white decals.... so cheated a bit and my serial no is black on a white background. This type was used so Im sticking to it
Looks great to me just as it is Chris.
I'm now in the position of do I send for more Tripes, or will the official ones be out before I have time to build them.
Rob
