Hi everyone,
I seem to have trouble keeping my WWI aircraft and warship model momentum going. I often find myself thinking of WWI aircraft models that I have in my stash, but there is always so much to do. I have a lot more tanks and WWII aircraft so I get bogged in them and before I know it, a year has passed since I touched anything covered in canvas.
Generally I have two or three models going at once, and I try to avoid dispersing my interest too much. But the demise of WNW has really brought WWI back into focus. I had to do a little panic buying to double my small WNW stash, and I've had to reach out and try to get some Roden too before it went crazy. But Roden's prices have jumped 25% or more, too.
I'll try to be better at participating.

G'day Gaz
Good to see you back mate. Don't worry about your WW1 interests fluctuating, our bit of the hobby has always been a bit of a hobby rollercoaster. Ups and downs define WW1 modelling!
I wouldn't stress the Wingnut Wings thing too much. Very sad to see them close but there are countless thousands of pristine, unmade kits in circulation and once the "these are more valuable than toilet paper" hoarders lose interest and move on, those hoarded WnW kits will filter on to the market at more reasonable prices.
I expect people will still be building Wingnut kits for some years to come. It's still quite easy to source classic Aurora WW1 kits and how many years has it been since that brand disappeared?
In the meantime Roden, Copper State, Special Hobby, Lukgraph, Eduard and others doing WW1 land war subjects like MiniArt and ICM are keeping our WW1 hobby ticking along nicely.
cheers
