Merged: Old Shapeways-related announcements

[uncletony]

Any news on the photo etch or decals Thanks

Sorry, no hard news. Still planning on having some PE frets made. As for decals -- at the moment it seems like there is no economic way for these to make sense -- of course I have art for "print your own."

Thanks If someone does print the decals I would buy a set from them Keep us up to date on the etch

Several people have inquired about the availability of the compass with working gimbal like the ones I made for my Fokker D.III and Fokker D.VII.





I've made this model available separately now, and also as a pair. You supply decal for the face and your own .25mm pins. Also a short section of .5mm tubing for the tuning thing that hangs below the gimbal.

Thanks for taking the plunge!

Due to request, I am offering a scaled up version of my German Flight Compass in 1/28 scale to fit the popular Revell kits. It is the identical geometry to the 1/32 version, just 14% bigger. Assembly details are identical as well.

For the time being it is only offered in pairs, being a bit more economical:

My 1/28 pair arrived just 2 days after the 1/32 pair. must faster than they stated when I ordered.  Thanks Again Bo for making these available !

Just received a couple of the 1/32nd scale sets. I think they might go well with the two  Mikr Mir D.VIIIs I've got.

[Borsos]

Looks really cool!

Think I need one of these for my new Dueliist LVG. Spare compass decals (and all the other instruments) are on the WNW decal sets sold seperately

Very well done Bo, this is an accessory we have been longing for for a long time, I'm sure this will be popular.

Excellent Bo I guess this is another to add to my want/need list  Something I could have used on my Fokker builds is the cable, can't remember the Damn actual name, that leads from the guns /gear to the engine. Looks like a cable with rings
