Hello paper modelers,
When working on the Mirage I sometimes slipped away from it and worked on and off on a beautifully designed model of a flying finch, by the Dutch artist Johan Scherft. Johan has designed several birds and they can either be obtained through his site or zeistbouwplaten.nl or Dutch publisher Leon Schuijt. In Dutch the bird is called "vink" (finch) and is also nicknamed "puttertje". It's a cute little flyer and is quite common over here.
I'm still working on it and hope to finish before going on holidays. Thereafter it's time to work on a mighty steam locomotive. More to come in a few weeks time but I'm preparing for it already as a fair degree of studying in advance is certainly recommendable.
Herewith a few pictures of the puttertje. The model isn't particularly difficult but I must say it took quite a bit of effort to make the tail section fit to the main body and also the wings required attention to make them fit tightly.
The model consists of two sheets only with just a few parts, but that's not an indication of supposed simplicity. It's a bit tricky, but that's the fun and I trust the end result will all be worth it. The model is a dowload and can best be printed, as also advised by Johan Scherft, on 120 grams paper. Clear instructions and some finch facts are included.
See you later,
Erik
