Scrovegni Chapel / Capella degli Scrovegni
Just found a new model with an interesting display method. It is the Scrovegni Chapel in 1:160 scale at https://www.paperdiorama.com/. The side of the chapel is hinged in order to display the frescoes inside.

LVT Series in 1/72 scale...
We have decided to do some LVTs, including updating our old ones. First up is a new one, the LVT 1.
US Navy Destroyers in 1/400
Till today I was only publishing airplanes, but my most favorite models are World War II ships in a 1/400 scale (waterline style). Clifton W. McCullogh (waynemac) gave me kindly his consent to the creation and publication of my versions of his 1/600 destroyers in 1/400 scale. It's not just a change of scale, because the models were, of course, somewhat simplified. So it was the redesign in Corel Draw in a new scale and quite a significant upgrading, starting with the skeleton of the hull and ending up with the details of the armament. In terms of detail and style of construction I tried to approach the standard of my favorite publisher JSC. Well, when I was at work, I also painted some other ships that were not in the original offer. In total, there are 12 destroyers of 3 construction classes now. Within a few days I’ll upload them, so at least I will entice you with their envelopes now. 
And, once more, many thanks to waynemac for his original design!

Zio Prudenziati's Fokker D.VII in 1:100
Every modelers dream --- a biplane with almost no rigging! Probably not what Reinhold Platz had in mind when he designed it one hundred years ago. This aircraft was so successful that it's surrender to the Allies was demanded in the Armistice.
One of Zio Prudenziati's little gems. Since it is a slab sided fuselage I decided a little strenghtening was a good idea hence the card stock side inserts.

The Great Waldo Pepper?
has anyone done a repaint of the JN-4 Jenny, and/or the Fokker D1 to match the planes in the movie?
Images disappearing from thread
Good evening,
I don't know if this belongs here, if not, please move it to the appropriate topic.
A while ago Photobucket had stopped their 3rd party hosting. So for my next build I started uploading images to my Facebook account and linked them here.
But for an unknown reason these images are disappearing. And I am unable to restore the broken links.
What to do?
See the topic in question: Velociraptor build scale 1:1
With regards,
Jerry

Pitt markers: Brush or Soft Brush?
I'm heading up to Michel's with my 50% coupon.
They have a 6 gray Pitt marker set in Brush tip or a 8 gray Pitt marker set in Soft Brush tip.
What type of tip is better?
Any comments?
Thanks

Leichttraktor WOPT 1:50 Scale
Hello Everyone,
After a pretty successful build on the WOPT Tiger 1, I decided to try the Leichttraktor. As I found with the Tiger, the details were excellent, the directions were simple to follow and everything went together pretty smoothly. Thank you to Uncle Serg for Putting these out for people to create. My next project is already printed and ready to go. The Panzer IV. This Leichttraktor is actually a shade under 1:50 scale as my printer wants to cut things off at that scale. I cannot remember what I finally got the Percentage to in order to keep things on the page. As always, comments, questions and critiques are welcome. I am enjoying these builds.

B-17 & Wheaties
Greetings paper modellers!
My brother sent me some old envelopes a few weeks back. They were original prints of Jack Armstrong / Wheaties Tru-Flite models from 1944 and I've been hooked. I've made copies of them to build and found some online also. Here's a question: can I post the color corrected versions here?
Recently I built a pearl harbor B-17 from Ecards that is balanced and ready to throw. hehehe - I'll get video when I do it. ;-)

Looking for printer recommendations
Hi,
I'm looking to buy a new good inkjet printer that will handle up to 110lb cardstock as well as regular print/copy/scanning home duties. I ruined an HP printer head by printing a few pages of 110lb cardstock, good quality heavy paper, only to learn after the damage had been done that the printer would only handle up to 65lb stock. My fault.
Could I get some recommendations for a good home printer that will also handle heavy cardstock?
Thanks!

JSC lasercut figures photos
some merchant navy crewmen and harbour workers photos. Those are 1:250 scale. Will be another two types of figures 1:250 and also at scale 1:400. Sometime in April.
In JSC Facebook page (see link in JSC signature) there is video on how to paint the figures. Have a look sometimes.

S&P 1/100 Seversky P-35
Forerunner to the Republic P-43 and then the legendary P-47 Thunderbolt. Bruno's got a bunch of these through Ecard at the moment- I've got 'em all and this is my first. Hope you like.
Murph's Models C-64 Norseman-Glenn Miller's Last Ride
I finished this C-64 Norseman right after completion of SB-2bis.
Easy model but some assembly's can be challenging.I wouldn't be myself if I didn't make few mistakes as well (see top of the wing).Found few small errors and I corrected them (Aaron will get copy of that).I'll try do repaint of this one in RCAF colors like the one in Ottawa museum,maybe even Norwegian AF survivor still flying in Europe.

Two Blokes
Henry the Eighth was bought from the gift shop of one of Britain's Royal Palaces (Hampton Court perhaps?). As the kit was only printed in black and red I used some kid's colouring pencils to finish him off. The other bloke, who needs no introduction from me, was downloaded from Paper Replika.
Surf's Up!
I picked up this cool dude automaton in a gift shop in Totnes, Devon, a coiple of years ago while on holiday. They had a working model powered by electic motor going frantic in the window and I knew I just had to have one to make. So here he is.
A Few Animals
Some animals fron Canon's Animals Pets series that have gone down a treat in our home. Nothing difficult here but we think they're really cute. So here we have a Yorkshire Terrier, Welsh Corgi Pembroke, Veiled Chamelion, Tree Frog, Toy Poodle, Squirrel Monkey, Sugar Glider and Syrian Hamster.
