My Son's biggest Christmas present was this 1:32 scale Metalshed WWI Hanley-Paige Bomber, with folding wings, tractor, air and ground crew:

Is Metalshed still producing models?

I think so, but I got this one second hand at a show, it was made in 2000.

I picked up a couple of nice Trophy WWI sets, a mounted German Infantry Officer and the Christmas in the Trenches Set:

The Handley Page Bomber is absolutely amazing - Bruce Hebron's Metal Shed creations are truly stunning- I think I may need to start saving up for their Taube to go in my Saxon Army 1870-1918 collection. Did the towing tractor come as part of the set?

Yes,

The set included the tractor, the two ground crewman and the two standing officers as well as the bomber with complete aircrew.

Louis,
Your collection just never stops. I have always marveled at the metal shed stuff at the Chicago show and you have so many pieces. Hats off.

The Metalshed stuff all belongs to my son. It goes perfectly with my Heco Tinplate Models, so we generally display them together.

And despite comments here recently about Louis' finances, the Metal Shed items his son owns were purchased by his son with his own money, he works part time after school in a local coal mine to fund his hobby...…………………..
