I have just finished designing the above DC-3, and it can be downloaded from my site Free card model airplane sites (click on My Own Models).

Cool! Thank you, Bob!

Another nice model! You really are cranking them out!

Thanks Russell,
I'm going to give it a bit of a break - I'm fagged out!
I will start improving the 6 or 7 models I've already made - the Dash-8 I wish to re-scale from 1:90 to 1:72, the latter now as standard scale.

Do you have any commercial airliners? Like a 747 or A340?

Bob43 · 08-29-2007, 02:29 PM

For civilian airliners, there is a small 747 on Airigami.net | Welcome, and a magnificent 707 on Bob Bendorf's Paper Models

^^ I checked Airigami, but it doesn't have instructions on how to build the aircraft...

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

Bob43 · 08-29-2007, 11:31 PM

Airigami.net | Welcome doesn't seem to have have instructions for its download card models, but they are pretty simple, in fact, all the very diverse models use the same techniques.

Great model!Thanks!

How do you design your models? They look great!

Bob43 · 08-30-2007, 09:57 AM

Hi Redwolf!
For my first 2 Canadairs, I took 2 H----- scale models, wrapped bits of paper all over, flattened them, copied them. Bulkheads by measuring horizontal and vertical distances.
Later models a bit more sophisticated..... using 2 views of the aircraft from the internet (top and side usually, suitably scaled, I designed 5- 10 bulkheads, cut them vertically in 2 and glued them on a board of cardboard with the correctly scaled distances between them. Then I covered each bulkhead couple with paper, cut to size, then doubled etc etc. Then make the model numerous times, each time correcting a bit and so on. And then the livery ...... Help, when I read this, the perspiration comes! No more models for the time being. I wish to improve the ones I have already made in due course with details, rivets etc., basically always at a scale 1:72 .

Ya, but I don't know how to fold the thing and I don't know what parts go where... Can you help me? Like can you send me a labelled diagram? This is the first time I am making something like this.

Gomidefilho · 08-31-2007, 12:06 PM

Wow!

Very Thank's!

I liked it a lot DC-3 and of the C-54 also. Some chace of leaving Constelation and the Super Constelation or EC-121?

Wonderful work!

redwolf28386 · 08-31-2007, 12:22 PM

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work! I've just started designing my first project , the aircraft carrier Enterprise, and thats exactly how I 've started on the hull! So far I have a nice stack of paper "rocks"!

Bob43 · 08-31-2007, 01:46 PM

As I said, I'm fagged out! No, seriously, I wish at present to improve the last 6 models, and then possibly a PBY.
Cheers
Bob
