Merged: Old Shapeways-related announcements

Gorgeous work, Bo!  I am wondering is there a Daimler-Mercedes
version in the works?

Cheers,
Ernie

Cheers guys --  @ Ernie Daimler version is in the research stage.

Looks great BO! What are the chances this would work with a Roden Alb.DIII ?

Thanks Rick I Haven't tried it yet, but I think if one were to cut the right size hole, it should work ok. (Care to try it for me? I'll supply the radiator ) The bigger question for me is whether it will work on a D.II. I need to research whether the airfoil section of the D.I/D.II was similar to the D.III/D.V and/or whether the radiators were the same...

A very kind offer Bo! I will look at the kit and get back to you today via PM.

it is indeed a perplexing situation. i have been working or a replacement spinner for the 1/48 albatros kits. the eduard spinner looks like a ball cut in half. of course i am doing it in the old fashioned way i used a drill and sanding sticks,finally vacforming the result .point is i like you am struggling with if it looks right or not, do i re-do it or not etc. damn spinners.

[ALBATROS1234]

looks like they were made for that

I think your Albatros nose looks lovely.

How about filler caps for the top of the Albatros fuel tank?

On this already

These are the Albatros Tireless wheels in the premium FXD material (shown primed but otherwise as they come).

I got mine, I'm really impressed.  The natural rubber tires fit perfect.  I'm actually pulling out my Albatros out of moth balls, I'm gonna do Richtofen's all red D V.  Please keep making parts......Seats, cushions, ammo chutes, fuel tank?  I'm nervous about the louvers being warped on the radiator?  What are your thoughts?
