GMorrison,
You want in?
Aaron/ Tim. Glad to see administors starting a GB!! I’m not much into the WWI era planes but when you guys get ready to do a WWII GB let me know. I will be game for sure. Start the rally for the latter part of the year and we’ll get everybody on board!!
yes please
You’re in!
and the future WWII build …do able???
Mustang! Thanks for the kind words. A WWII GB? Hmmmm. It’s not out of the realm of possibility. However, the next GB won’t be WWII–not strictly speaking at any rate. We’ll announce the theme after this one’s over and Aaron and I have knocked out the details.
Also, I want to welcome everyone who has signed up for the FSM WWI Aeroplane Group Build. Counting Aaron and me, we have 10 participants, which is more than I thought we’d round up. Thanks for taking the trip with us.
Didn’t mean to get ahead of the game Tim. Just interested in future stuff thats all. Should have PM’d you on it. Sorry
Not at all, dude. We’re thrilled that you guys want to do GBs with us. Keep pestering and asking.
I’m rather partial to the odd GB now and again. So i will be keeping an eye out for future ones.
Curses! I see that Monsieur Aaron has went with the other side! And I brought this delectable brie!
Well no brie for you sir!
I am sharing it only with my magnificent comrade in arms monsieur Greg!
Brie, indeed! Don’t feel bad, Aaron. We have beer, and lots of it. And many kinds of -wurst. Oh, and I’m sorry for “accidentally” putting your instructions through the shredder. I’m certain we can find a low-res copy for you online.
Cleaning out my garage last weekend, I found a stein from Mader’s in Milwaukie. I’m ready, suds boy!
That’s jolly civil of you, mon ami; I’ll bring the warm beer and Marmite.
Chicken! [:P]
Seriously, that’s a great choice Aaron! [Y]
Tim, I’ve done a bit of thinking about this GB, and, seeing that this is really shaping up to be something quite special, figured it deserved a special kit on my part, so I just went and pulled the trigger on a Wingnut Wings Fokker E.II / E.III (early). It’s a kit I’ve had my eyes on for some time, and with your permission, I’d like to make it my entry for this GB instead of the DR.I. Hope that’s cool with you.
Absolutely! Update is official.
Jack,
Fine work! I hope to have our offering up this week and we’ll throw 'em both out there for the men to decide. Thanks for taking the initiative and doing that!
Awesome! Thanks Tim! [Y]
Jack, excellent work! That looks amazing!
Tim and Mike, thanks for the comments on the badge.
It’s too bad my photo provider does some wonky things to my uploaded pics
- hence the pixel noise. [:@]

All right! Here’s the Fokker D.VII I intend to build:
Part of Jasta 43, it was flown by Otto Creutzman to eight victories and Josef Raesch to seven. Not that that matters to me. Wingnut Wings produced two extra sets of decals for the D.VII (Alb) and I thought this scheme with the pitchfork was very cool. In fact, I yesterday I had decided that I was going to do Carl Degelow’s Jasta 40 decorated with a stag when Aaron reminded me about this tasty red and white number.
So, there it is!
