I would like to thank once again to YOAVHOZMI who presented such a wonderful model.

Inkscape 0.91 Now Available

Greetings to all you designers on a budget and those who simply like free stuff. ;)



Version 0.91 of Inkscape was just released today! You can learn what's new on the release notes page.



A few of the new features did look promising, do far I haven't had time yet to do anything other than download and install.




Nose cones.

I notice nose cones of aircraft and missiles etc are a sequence of sections that are not my idea of accurate. Is there a better way of making these parts?

Happy Birthday chani

Building GG, Villa Bertani ....

In honor of my most favorite person in the world, on the occasion of her birthday, papertigerarmaments.com is pleased to announce the release of Building GG, the "Villa Bertani".



Buildings



This FREE model is an Italianate structure inspired by an actual building South of Rome, between Aprilia and Anzio. I believe it was once a rural train stop. Buon Compleanno sig.ra Bertani-Lozes.

Looking like Frankenstein

Just before xmas at my usual check up at doctors he hit the panic button.I had a sore on my nose which i assumed i got from a bone chip hitting me at work.He wasnt happy so on xmas i was sent for a biopsy with specialist.He said he was 99% sure it was skin cancer.I didnt have medical insurance so was told it would be 5 months before treatment.Last week i got a call from hospital saying there had been a cancellation and i could go in for surgery last friday.After digging out the affected parts from my nose under local anisetic they took a piece from behind my ear to plug the gap as a skin graft.THe injections in my nose were the most intense pain i have ever experienced in nearly 60 years.End result im sitting here with 8 stitches in my nose holding the graft in and a piece missing out of my neck.I think i need to go and build something except i cant sit my glasses on my nose anymore.:mad:

A Request

Hi :

I recently got my hands on a SCHREIBER 2013 catalog .I have requested in GERMAN an up to date one from them .The products have changed And I could NOT find the Nuclear Reactor generating station in their listing . Probably didn't sell to well . Anyway , I also asked , for you castle and Schloss builders out there if they could include the Schloss -Braunfels in their repretoire .This city was founded by Prince Solms of Braunfels . Thought you'd like to know. Papersurprise50




WOW ! You Have to see these !

I wish I knew how to post pictures ! I found a company , here in the good old U.S.A that has this great product line available through catalog . They range in price from Ten Bucks all the way to Four Hundred bucks ! No, I didn't stutter !

The company is Model Shipyard. Their address is vessel@model-vessel.com. The catalog is almost a refined and sized version of a model publication The models have both regular paper and a heavy wood core Paper product. These are ALL sailing ships .They even cut and shape the oddball planks for you . Rigging and detail sets are available too !

For those of you not wanting to mentally go to sea , you can keep your feet dry with their Light-House models ! Now, here's this if it helps

SHABAT SHALOM to all my friends here.




G'day from Tassie.

I'm a miniaturist. I model almost anything old. Nearly all my projects are heavily weathered, rusted, well worn or simply in everyday use.

Nothing modern, with several small exceptions I feel styling and character went into declined in the 1960's. Currently I'm working on an ON30 train layout. Tasmanian timber milling set in 1957.

Trains allow me the freedom to build structures, boats, vehicles, figures and scenery etc. Paper and card give me unlimited variety and possibilities. All I need apart from my laptop and printer is a pencil case of simple tools.

I look forward to reading about other builders achievements and hope soon to post photos of mine. This is a "learning hobby" and I learn something new everyday.:)

How do you construct it?????

Being a only card modeling for a few years, I have been constructing my models as per the instructions and building every thing in position.

Now as a quest to improve with every model I have been thinking is this the best way to work, or as I have noticed on this and other forums some modelers build sub components all fully detailed, and then place them where they need to be. Do you think there is an advantage to this, or is it just the the way some of you like to work. I am sorry if this has been talked about before, and I hope it doesn't fall into the realms of "Dumb question". I thought that it would be nice to here others comments, especially those who design and write the instructions.




Russia planning to removes it's part of the ISS

Russia allows its Progress re-supply ships to be filled with ISS garbage when they are done with them and burn up upon entering Earth atmosphere just like their first space station, Mir. I guess it’s their way.






Colditz castle, Oflag IVC

Hello to you all,



As you might guess from my forum handle I am rather interested in Colditz castle. I have searched for years to find a paper model of Colditz and have come up empty, not even a mention of there being a model.



I think that it might be a model worth doing. Having said that, I have no real idea of what it takes to make a model like that. Any one else out there interested as well?



Best regards,

Don




minimalist diorama

One day last fall I decided to cut some of my micro sized buildings in black paper. I wanted an example of using one of them so I created a tiny scene. It was designed to sit on top of the cash register at the local coffee shop I frequent. A fun way to share paper modeling with my neighbors. The scene was created based on the concept of black silhouettes. The paper tree with bare branches plus a single house tells the entire story. Instructions for tree at bottom of this post.





The piece is lighted with an LED tea light. Just cut the flame shape off to revel the little LED bulb below it. I punched a hole in the lid of a small gift box and glued the tea light to the bottom of the lid. Makes for a hidden light with easy to change battery and easy access to the switch too.







A small scale gnarly, bare branched, tree is easy to make and inexpensive. Take a rectangle of crepe paper. The crepe paper adds texture to the bark and it twist nicely. Fringe the upper end, those fringes will become the branches. Leave the center solid, that becomes the trunk. Fringe at the lower end becomes roots. Twist the center trunk first, then twist the branches and roots. Trim the branches to desired length. You can rub some PVA glue into the paper to secure the twist. Position the branches and let the glue dry then paint if desired.



So a minimalist diorama that makes a fine gift or an little object to put on the desk at work.




Hello

Hello I am new to the forum. I am a Historical War gamer who enjoys building things.




Hello from Paper Models International

Hello Modelers! I'm Mark Baird's sister, Mary. Mark Baird loves making and designing paper models, mostly airplanes, and when he purchased Paper Models International a few years ago he loved all the models but had other responsibilities that came along such as qualifying as an airplane inspector (real planes) and repairing planes and didn't keep up with the hefty maintenance side of the paper model business.



I apologize for him for letting many of you down and not taking care of orders that came in. I don't know a lot about models but I do know about taking care of a business and giving good service. I have put together a team to get Paper Models International up and running properly again.



We've just got started so all the pieces are not in place yet, but I came across a post on this site and wanted you to know that the business will be running soon.

I'll be back.

Thank you all for the support you are giving me at this time. You have no idea how much it is appreciated. I have more friends I've never met face to face than are living in the area. I suppose on the plus side of the ledger is that my wife's passing was not an unexpected event, for the has been combating heart disease and COPD starting about ten years ago. You think you have yourself prepared for the event, but I can testify that you are shining yourself on....and one thing I didn't learn from my father when mom passed was that the grief is not nearly the problem as is the guilt process when a life partner passes...but, this will pass and life will go on. Fortunately my daughter has come down from paradise (near Spirit Lake up in tip of the Idaho panhandle) to be with me until the middle of March. She is going through the house more effectively than a house fire. My wife was a hoarder, and the house is so full of her junk plus all my own good stuff that one could hardly function in it. I have promised her that I will pare the number of books to only enough to fill my three bookcases....what I didn't tell her is the paper modeling hard copies are NOT books, and are categorically excluded from that promise. She just about got a new hole in her head when she tried putting my GPM Karl kit in the "go" box. By definition, Project Cleanout will conclude on March 14. I suspect that I won't do much posting until then...but I'll be back. I apologize for not having responded to all of the PMs I've gotten, but the allowance she gave me for interned time runs out too quickly for all the "should do" emails can be completed (how the tables have turned). Again, a thousand thanks to each and every one of you.




1/33 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt Smithsonian Museum Aircraft from airdave

Thats right...a whole new series of P47 Thunderbolts.



The amazing JUG! now complete with detailed Cockpit and recessed Wheel Wells.

All new artwork, new parts and many new details.



1/33 Scale...all new Instruction Diagram pages...and a whole new look.



First up...44-32691

This Jug is on display at the Steven Udvar-Hazy Center in Virgnia (Smithsonian Air & Space)

and I got an up close look at this aircraft...got a ton of close up photos...and I figured it was

the perfect candidate for the first of a new series of models.



Finished in a simulated bare metal finish, this P47 features big bold USAF markings and D-Day inspired striping.



Plenty of pics of the the real airplane and the completed model (prototype version...some differences) here:

Skyline EMB-120 (1/72)

Hey Everyone. While waiting on some B777 test builds to be completed, I've embarked on a much smaller project, an EMB-120 depicted in 1/72 scale. She'll be about 11"x11". I've got about 800 hours flying these myself, so this one has been high on the "to-do" list for years. Should be out pretty soon. Here's some CG pictures that will become some of the construction diagrams. Thanks for looking! :)
