Well, add me to the list. Don’t know what yet. But it will have wings.
Tony, that would be cool to see a bust made. I know what you mean about the goofy look - seems to be a trademark on a number of Verlinden releases.
A bust is something I considered too, but if we go four years, I can also add an aircraft, and maybe more figures.
Mike, that’s another sound idea to have a badge dedicated to each aspect of the war.
regards,
Jack
David, the Zepellin Staaken is enourmous even in 1:72 
but I think there was one slightly bigger bomber during WW1. Just slightly bigger!
About being tempted to build - definately yes, the only problem is that I don’t have where to put afterwards - not enough free space :-/
There is much time till te GB start, but I may try a 1:72 Gotha GVa/Vb (if I can find some nightlozenge decals) or some WnW kit (Fe2b maybe)
best regards,
Sasho
Bish, Just wait once you build one WWI kit you’ll start build more!
Jack, Glad you’ll consider adding medals to the badges if we go four years.
John, Thanks for joining and got you added!
Mike, Thank you for working on the badge. I can’t wait to see it.
Tony, Got your build updated. I do agree that the bust looks goofy. But I’m sure you’ll do a great paint job on it. I believe Sheperd Paine said a good paint job can make a poor figure look good. I admire anyone who tackles large scale figures, and makes them look life like.
Sasho, Your right about one more bomber being bigger then the Zeppelin Stakken the German’s also built one Siemens-Schuckert R.VIII
Wingspan on this beast was 157ft!
Also your in the same spot as me with the Staaken I don’t have the space either.
Took a peak at my stash and rounded up the WWI kits, trying to figure out what to build. I’m sure I’'ll add some more before July. But here’s what I have for now.

Have great night everyone.

I would like to get in on this GB. I’m not sure what I’ll build, but it will probably have tracks. I’ve always been fascinated with WW I and this GB should be very fun to follow.

O, I think I am starting to get the bug, just a little. I built one last year for the FSM WW1 aero GB.
Not upto the standard of the other builds in that GB, but it is my first.
I’ve said it before, but I love that 0/400 Bish. I might even get to an aircraft as well, but lets take it one at a time.
Cheers
Tony
Welcome aboard Dale! I’m sure our leader will be along shortly to officially add you to the list! [Y]
Dave, very impressive stash of WWI birds! Only thing missing is a Wingnut Wings Gotha. [;)]
Bish, still tough to believe that’s your first bipe. Light years ahead of my first (and second and third) efforts. [Y]
Dale, thanks for joining up! And got you added to the list. It will be nice if we have something tracked among all the winged stuff[H]
Bish, You may think that 0/400 isn’t as good as your other builds. But that’s a heck of a kit to start on for your first rigging! I know I wouldn’t have been brave enough[:@]
Mike, I’ve been thinking about getting that WW Gotha with my tax return. That or a 1/32 F-14 or maybe both[whstl]
David
David,
Thanks for including those of us who build ships in this GB! Although I usually build sailing ships, I picked up the HMS Dreadnought pre 1915 update and I would like to throw my name into the ring.
Thanks,
Steve
I will give a try with the SMS Scharnhorst 1/350 from Combrig. Sunk at the Battle of the Falkland Islands December 8, 1914.
Steve and GMorrison thanks for joining and got both of you added. Nice to have some ships added to the build.
Steve, who makes the Dreadnought and what scale?
David
David,
Sorry about that. Trumpeter, 1/350, pre 1915 refit version.
Steve
David,
I would like to participate as well. I have been a committed WWII aircraft builder, but have been drooling over those amazing looking Wingnut kits. This is the perfect excuse, and the delayed start will give me time to get my courage up.
I will come back when I know which kit I decide to build, but it will be a 1/32 WNW.
Thanks!
I think my first model for this GB will be a 1:48 Eduard Albatros D.V. Might tackle the 1:48 Special Hobby SPAD VII after that.
Been itching to do a bomber too…
Hey Grey Snake, I will most likely do my 1/32 WNW Se5 , once I get the guts to actually remove it from the plastic bags LOL.
Theuns
Welcome aboard Big Blue! I’ve built 4 Wingnut kits so far, and have nothing but the highest praise for everyone involved with that company. You are in for a real treat! [Y]
Considering the run time of this GB, it appears that there will be plenty of time to squeeze in another WnW kit from the stash after the Snipe, but which one? Still waiting to be built are an Albatros D.V, a late Fe2b, a Sopwith Tripe, and their Roland D.VI. - decisions, decisions.
Thanks Mike!
I am getting pretty fired up from window shopping at the WNW site. Just need to pick one…!
Greysnake, the Kaiser called me last night and he was in a bit of a mood. I suspect he’d been at the Schnapps again…
In the middle of all the spluttering, something about how the SMS Scharnhorst would rather be sunk with all hands, including the Spees, than ever become the HMS Scharnhorst!
I got him calmed down with memories of sailing on the Thames with him as boys, but I promised him you’d change it on the list.
Sweet! Can’t wait to see which one you choose. [Y]
