German with Spiked Helmets, and Some Doughboys.

German Calvary in Gas gear would be an interesting piece.

I'd be down for just about anything, but priorities to a Dr.I , stroßtrupper and an American with an Winchester M97.

Any of the famous biplanes and tri-planes, even monoplanes from WW1. Those, even groundpounders like me would be interested in. Prime requisite would be authenticity and quality.

Otherwise, my wallet stays closed. :wink:

TTT

A Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr.I, and a German with a picklehaube.
Oh, and some tanks.

Biplanes,and triplanes.

But these would have to be high quality with proper rigging.

Not sure if BBI,JSI,or maybe the reincarnated 21 Century,would be able to produce a high enough quality model that would interested me.

Snake that sounds like a challenge to me. I would maybe have the rigging come with the plane but let the costumer put it on. You would, however need well written instructions, something these companies are not well known for. There are many wood models that do this. Its not hard.

Some basic infantry figures would be nice, mostly from the Western Front...

-Doughboys... I'm a US guy through and through, so yeah I gotta have my Expeditionary Force... Marine/Army would both be welcome, even though the US action in WWI's limited.

-German Infantry with early and late war helmets...

-British Infantry, and I'd really like to see at least one Highlander. :)

-French Infantry...

I'd really like to see them all in a series so you get an MG team, riflemen... A sniper with a trench plate would be cool too. Sections of trench? Hey, we can dream right?

Honestly I can't say I'd be interested in planes at all... They're beauties but not something I'm particularly interested in since I'm only passingly interested in WWII warbirds really.

I could see a tank slipping in there, perhaps a truck or ambulance, but really I'd be quite content just seeing figures and MG teams.

Oh, and a German Stormtrooper... That'd be a dandy to see done.

I'd like to see a Dr.1 and a Sopwith Camel.

I don't do 1/18 planes but even I would be interested in WWI planes. At the top of my list would be a Fokker Dr.1, Sopwith Camel, S.E.5a and an Albatros DIII or DVa. A Spad in Guynemer or Nungesser's markings would be welcome as well. I've always been interested in WWI planes and used to build 1/48 models of them. I don't do 1/18 planes simply because they are to big for me to display. With WWI planes the size wouldn't be as much of a factor because most of them were fairly small.

Hey I'm usually the one fanning the WWI flames!...So just to get my dig in. Wasn't there a company who announced they were doing WWI a while back...who then became strangely silent...and they went by the initials of ADMIRAL TOYS?...he he he...

I'd like an Albatros and Nieuport, but will happily settle for a Dr.1 and Sopwith Camel.

I have to admit I've only caught short snippets of Blackadder thru the the 4 seasons when it was on tv,
have never really gotten into watching an entire episode before

I was more into 'Allo 'Allo, for the WW2 France setting and the humour

Here is a link for the final scene in Blackadder goes Forth (4th season),
those who have never seen this might recognise Mr.Bean and Dr. House
