Clear plastic stands are the way to do it. Lovely.
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

Great post, I'm a big fan of ww1 planes, but use the Wings of Glory rules which I find works well for me.

Probable max 6 to 10 planes on the table at one time.

How are you finding the Syborg planes for quality, the pictures on their site look to have quite distinct layers on the fuselage although the wings look very smooth. I'm using the WoG planes which are expensive and scarce but quite good quality.
Cheers

Syborg planes are lovely, and a pleasure to paint.
Pay a little more and go for the resin material option, it’s well worth it.
These are syborg resins.


And these too.

Really nice, I like the planes and the bases!!!

These aircraft are from Reduced Aircraft Factory on Shapeways, some I painted and others I got printed with the paint job done using different color filaments.

Well, yes - provided you can get them to answer your email enquiries!!!
No plan survives first contact with the dice.

I had a similar problem with them on the run up to the Colours show at Newbury race course recently.
The chap on the stall did apologise and said they had real issues with their emails at the time.
Sounds like those issues haven’t gone away or been resolved.

Great looking game. Enough going on for some nice narrative and fisherman's yarns :-).

That was where I first noticed it - it meant that the aircraft I'd ordered to collect at the show weren't there!  I've since emailed him twice more, and started a thread on his forum (which has been responded to by another customer), but absolutely nothing whatsoever from him.  I even put out a request on here for any alternative contact routes, hoping anyone who knew him would at least give him a nudge and wake him up - but nowt!

Could you not cancel your order, via your credit card firm ?
If it helps, I went looking for alternative firms in the uk.
Try paint and glue.
They seem to sell the same aircraft.

Sounds like the only issues they're having is in NOT answering their emails!!!  lol

I just went a few rounds with Amazon over an OBD scanner for my Mini, I'm still shaking my head at their policies but at least I now know what took place.

This stuff is addictive, now I'm wanting to get 10 more airplanes, but I'm also thinking of getting additional planes of the types I already have instead of different types.  Decisions, decisions!  o_o

Deepcut. Part of my Christmas present from my wife a couple of years ago.
She offered to buy me two mats, & while I was still considering, the nice
fellows at Deepcut put up an offer, 'Buy two, get a third free'  :D :D :D
