A bit of a diversion. Postie (Stuart) kindly gave me two boxes of Warlord Games landsknechts. In return, I offered to do a little painting for him. I expected to be working on some medieval knights, as I have done in the past. But no! Instead, he gave me World War One planes to do.
These ones are all circa 1914 to be used with his early war rules.
All planes appear to be 1/300th scale. Not sure of the manufacturer.

The following are for later in the war.

Top row is 3 crashed planes: British, German and Turkish. Bottom row: British Bristol F2A, British Sopwith Pup, German Fokker DR1 and German Fokker E111. |
All in all, I got my box of Landsknechts very cheaply.
Nice work Richard, i am sure Postie will be very pleased with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. I hope so.
DeleteGreat work on these Richard. I have always had a soft spot for metal WW1 1/300th planes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. Does that mean you have some or might get some?
DeleteLooking good and a fair exchange. As you say, now back to Renaissance.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was Jonathan.
DeletePostie will be pleased with these. Nicely done
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteNice planes Ricardo! Postie will be pleased!
ReplyDeleteCheers Raymond. Hopefully we'll see them on his table soon.
DeleteExcellent work on those and kudos for hand painting the markings!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I didn't have appropriate transfers and didn't want to buy some for a one off paint job. So, no option but to hand paint in the end.
DeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind to say so, Michal.
DeleteBlimey Richard that's some neat work. Excellently painted.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated.
DeleteGreat looking WW1 aircraft, Richard. I do like the swept wings on the German planes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. I agree.
DeleteExcellent looking little planes! Sounds like you got a great deal to me!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain.
DeleteLovely work on these. I look forward to Stuart running a game with them!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Lee
