Nice, thanks Paul. I'll get these up Wednesday.
List has been updated.
Is this something that should be a sticky?
For all you Zeppelin enthusiasts, I found some mooring stations. They are under accessories.
A few more for the end of March...

Paul, I am a happy owner of some of your 3D designs. Keep on working and notify us of the new ones! :thumbsup: Guys, buy them with confidence!Quote:

Paul, the first link for the Armstrong-Whitworth comes up as 1/72 scale. Is this correct?
1/144 single version, much cheaper!Quote:

I got confused - the pictures look the same :), the 1/72 version is a lot more expensive!
Nice; a Bristol Bullet is a must-have for my next order!Quote:

WGF planes on Shapeways list with links updated. 17 June 2014
Excel list updated today. If anyone finds any 1/144 planes missing from this list please let me know.
List updated with inverted Martinsyde S1, Louis Strange!
Fwiw, I think a few of mine may not be listed, such as my new Albatros D.IIIs, and the Zeppelin-Staaken R.IV.
I have the day off (kids' schools closed) and I plan on messing around the Shapeways stuff. I'll double check the list and report back.
Hi John, sorry not to have updated the list with your latest planes but I didn't know. I just added your Zeppelin Staaken, SE5as and Albatross DIIIs, BE2C wingman.
I'm off to Britain for 2 weeks today and will go through the list when I return. Shapeways has a new look! There used to be a smaller link for each plane on the page but now its gone. Your list looks more organized now too. I know in the past when I looked at your 1/144 WWI list it wasn't complete. I found more of your 1/144 WWI on your complete offering list. Please let me know what I'm missing.
Daryl has a new release thread here so everyone and I can more easily keep up to date on his planes. The easier it is for me to see new releases the quicker I can update my list. Where can I find your latest creations without having to go to looking through Shapeways?
No worries. I can be a haphazard kinda guy, so when I think about it, I'll let you know if there is anything new. I've mostly been doing 1:3788 scale starships these last couple weeks, but I am just about finished with one of my WWI faves -- the Halberstadt CL.IV.
:thumbsup:Quote:

:) I like Matte Gold Steel option!
Another very fine looking bird John.
Rob.
I did have a guy buy something in silver once. Surprised the hell out of me.
Thanks. It's another fave, so I put a ton of time into it.
Nieuport 28, in single and double.

I have heard that 3D printed models tend to have a grainy surface due to the printing process.
For those of you who have purchased or own 3D printed planes I would appreciate your feedback.
It is true, but there are plenty of workarounds. Search the site for some of the threads. My personal favorite is a handful and dunks in Pledge, followed up with a couple coats of Krylon Triple Thick Clear (which may no longer be on the market, since I couldn't find any this weekend). I have gotten quite a few to come out so smooth, you wouldn't know they are WSF.Quote:

I have also found that using Clipper's method of coating whilst the first coat of varnish is still curing is a good solution to the uneven surface.
He explains the process in his thread.
Rob.
I used few layers of Elmer's glue (as Zoe suggested in her thread), and it worked fine.Quote:

John, is the propeller already attached to the engine or does it have to be cut away from somewhere else on the model?
I do mine with the propeller attached to the engine. It's just a personal preference. Also, I don't include a peg, since I attach mine to the stand with a magnet. And for pilots I use N gauge people. You can usually find an unpainted pack of 100+ on ebay for about $5. Chop off their legs, paint 'em up, and you are good to go. At that scale the lack of head wear isn't a problem, and sometimes you get people who are waving or whatnot, which makes for a neat look.Quote:

An excellent comprehensive piece of work. Well done, Peter! :thumbsup: :clap:
Nice Halberstadt and Nieuport 28s. I'll definitely be getting some of these.Quote:

John, just found quite a few more from you and updated the list.
Now starting a WW2 list for 1/144 and 1/200.
Peter, the thread is now "stuck".
I spent far too much time on Shapeways recently trying to browse 1/144 WWI planes. I wish I had seen this before. Thank you for your work on this.
Thanks for 'sticking' it. Sorry you hadn't seen the list. Last fall I got annoyed when looking for 1/144 planes on Shapeways over and over. Finally I had enough and put the list together. Much easier to fiind what you are looking for or something new and to spend one's hard earned money now. A blessing and a curse.
Just added a Shapeways list for WW2 in 1/144 and 1/200. If I missed anything please let me know. I plan on adding AIM to the list and any other sources for 1/144 and 1/200 I can find.
The WW1 Shapeways list has had the prices updated. A few items under Accessories can't be opened at the moment but I have left them there to remind me to update them when they are available again. Items showing 'nfs' under price are not for sale at the moment.
I'll try get to the WW2 list as soon as I can.
