Greetings Frank & Justin. Thanks for the kind words. Yes these will be commercially available in the near future. There is a small company that started this venture about a year and a half ago. They are about to go public in the near future I am told. I helped with the colour data and they have been picking my brain about what might sell and what is just a gimmick.

Beginning with the 5 colour. Note the cut lozenge strip under the cradle for the top wing.

Here is the 5 colour with some texturing and without serials or national markings. By tomorrow I should be able to add the finishing touches and markings.

Hello, Stephen, that is a fantastic build. stunning effects with the texture and the lozenge decals. very nice work. Daywalker, Had to peek my interest in the SPAD. I've been wanting one for a while and it looks like a great kit. Here'a a pic of my 2nd attempt at the Roden DVII. I'm ashamed to post it after Mr. Lawson's build, but here it is... I shouldn't try to weather these aircraft like armor! Had a heck of a time with these decals. They were really thin a came apart easily. OBTW, I clicked the button! Best Regards,

Stephen, Once again I thank you for your response to my question on the rib tape. I also enjoyed the link to the information on weathering the lozenge covered aircraft. What fantastic work! ![Bow [bow]](/emoticons/icon_smile_bow.gif) Mobious, I was wondering how well the Eduard Nieuport went together. I have the release with the PE parts included in my ever-growing stash.

Hello MPS, The Eduard Nieuport kit went together without a hitch. A fun build. Would recommend this kit for someone starting out in Biplanes, such as myself. ![Approve [^]](/emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif) Best Regards,

They're herrrrrrrre! See the gallery for the higher res images of my builds. Here is the owner's (Mr. Tom Sollers) final comments on the subject. The site went live this morning. The URL is http://www.MicroSculpt.com. Thank you once again for all your support and time!!! . . .I already have a sheet of Fokker serials partially designed. Feel free to pass along anything you would like to see. I am open to suggestions. Future release schedule will depend on sales. I've about squeezed my wallet as hard as I can. I'll need some return in order to go forward. Keep your fingers crossed. Cheers! Tom
