Woah, I'd sell mine for that.
Woah, I'd sell mine for that.
I won't. Just double-checked - I have 3 but 2 are for the decals I bought this summer.
Just don't tell SWMBO
When discussing things we might have to abandon if the fires got two close, she was on about her shoes being worth saving.
I let slip that my planes were worth over 6K
Actually more like 12 ...
I paint a lot of minis and planes. I feel more connected to the ones I've painted than to the official ones. If I painted my own Schaefer I'd probably never put the Official one on the table again. At that point why have it? I have a decal for it so the clock is ticking....
We understand, Pete. You're safe here.
Sometimes I get lucky............

Well done, Tim
Ker ching.
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Great score Tim!
LOL! Good snag!
Congrats! Shockingly 'normal' considering the usual Ebay madness. I trust the S&H was reasonable?
What Jasta are you toying with this time, Tim?
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
I would love to see them in the painting thread when you are finished!
Indeed. I can’t wait to see what you do with them! Especially since those apparently were not even listed in the US
I’m so jealous.
Depends......
For Fokker D.VIIs I prefer Nexus/Ares, particularly the "Schafer" with the wing lozenge on the upper and lower surfaces of both wings. Plus, you can carefully remove the upper wing, to allow "Fokker streaky" or lozenge decal application to the fuselage, and lozenge decals to the "inner" wing surfaces. Plus, you get base, pegs and deck! (usually)
The Shapeways planes need clean-up, and have very limited access to the areas between the wings, so are only really suitable for single-colour application, like my all-black Jasta 7 birds. They are, however, much cheaper.
P.S.
In addition, I don't like mixing different model manufacturers in the same unit: they often look substantially different (eg Nexus/Ares horrible Albatros D.IIIs, compared to F-toys sleek-and-slim Alb.D.IIIs, compared to Shapeways beautifully-shaped sharks!). Once I have started a Jasta, I will only add to it if I can source the same models.
I have 3 Nexus Jasta 12 D.VIIs already, 2 Jasta 11, and have gathered 9 "Goering" Nexus D.VIIs to do Jasta 40 at some point (tail units are already all-over white! )

Well, that depends on what you want to do. I like using the Ares because I have a base and a set of cards already. And that depends if I can get a plane. But for Fokker DVII and some of the more rare I would personally go with shapeways because the cost of the planes can be high. It comes down to personally preference. I am working on some Italian Nieuport 17. I am using the Ares because I could easily get them. Now for something like the Fokker, or Sopwith Triplane I would get shapeways because I can get a lot of shapeways for the cost of one of those right now. I can get bases for the Aerodrome Store, and I can put together a deck of cards. Again, these are my personal opinions and I know everybody has a different one on this subject.
Flying Helmet makes a grand point as well. The Fokker's do have the wing lozenge already there and putting that on a shapeways can be challenging.
Ebay UK. A lot with two Fokker VII Planes. No cards though.

Lot of 12 Nexus planes.

If one of you all end up getting it, I'd appreciate buying the Rahn Dr.I off of you as a "finder's fee"
Someone should nick that right quick.
Buy It Now and Less than $10 per plane with free shipping.
small little voice from England - please sir, could I buy the Hautzmeyer D.III?
Couldn't bear it any longer ....
I'll take care of Max - can you do Iain, Tim?
Shipping would be likely prohibitive from here to Blighty.
hello Tim

That is the balloon Dan - but nothing else - no stand, pegs, base cards and he still wants a hundred bucks for it ! Pass.

What currency is that in?
If you a billionaire price would be irrelevant.
WOW, just been out bid on Evilbay for the D.VII with 10 seconds to go. Final bid £46.90, so over what I was gonna pay!!!!!
Those Fokker DII, very very elusive!
Someone just paid £10.50 for a 'Y' deck......
Just the deck, nothing else!
Ares, you're missing out of a shedload of moolah!
