Hindenburg LZ-129 and Graf Zeppelin II LZ-130 That is a fantastic model, RocketmanTan! Or should I say models? This gives one an opportunity to build the amazing second Graf Zeppelin II - or LZ-130 - which the idiot and junkie Goering ordered to be scrapped and destroyed when it was almost...

Incomplete Link Hi Eric, The full link reads: http://www.se-technology.com/wig/index.php (just the three letters at the end missing). The site has some interesting parts but it doesn't seem to be updated a lot. Some links are dead. Best, Bengt :thumb:

Inspiring LOTR Modeling Site I agree, kk135, very inspiring and interesting indeed. I like the crumbling rocky stairs over the fiery chasm in Moria. Great site! Best, Bengt :thumb:

LOTR houses Hi, I know there are building blocks of the dwarf underground halls and caves of Moria. There are also a few elven towers and some houses from Minas Tirith. Somewhere - try Googling them, or look for them at Karton-Modellforum.de or Kartonbau.de in Germany, or at the sister...

You are off to a great start, tino, That is a beautiful board that you have made for the model, with profiled borders. I started something similar on a castle build some time ago. Keep up the good work! Bengt:thumb:

Thank YOU, Mike (and George)! I've got it ALL downloaded now, and the instructions are printed out on good paper. I like the informative fact sheet that you have supplied with each model - that puts each model and spacecraft into the historical context. I remember these missions well -...

The New Saturn V 1:480 Scale Models Are Here! That's Affirmative, Mike! A-One! Way To Go! Hooray! Yay! You have done a tremendous job - what an effort! Sorry we've been on your tail like bloodhounds... I am really looking forward to get started on the historically correct Apollo 11...

Falling Water References Hi Steelrat, Thanks for the link to the site - very informative, with good photos and various interesting plans. Best, Bengt :thumb:

Upscaling Hi, Using percentage (%) simplifies matters a great deal, I think. For example; if you want to upscale from size A4 to A3, the percentage for printing an A4 size model sheet to A3 is 141%. Bengt :thumb:

'Twirl' Tool in Photoshop for Propeller Effects Hi Chris, The tool I meant is called ''Twirl' not 'Swirl' - it is to be found under 'Filters - Distort'. You first determine the area you want to distort, using the oval marquee tool in the upper left hand corner of the screen, and make the...

niebla de fuego, A beautiful build! Very nicely detailed. I especially like the two last photos outside, where the red Fokker comes flying overhead! Try the 'swirl' tool for the propeller, too! I also recognise the airplane magazine - I have it in English somewhere. Allthe best from...

Space Shuttle Interior That's right, ritchieb, The Betexa model from The Czech Republic was the original detailed 1/72 scale model, after which Dr. Raimondo Fortezza made the series of 1/100 scale Italian MARSCENTER shuttles. This space shuttle (orbiter) model has the upper flight deck...

Maria Robot Model from 'Metropolis' Hi jacksparrow, I have it on the separate drive somewhere - if you send me your e-mail address in a PM, I will send it to you as soon as I find it! It's a very fine model, with great detailing. Have you seen the digitally restored silent movie...

'The Black Pearl' Pirate Ship Model Hi Harry, Excellent model choice! That's a nice one. I'd like to do it myself some day. I have actually thought about what it would be like to print it on slightly brownish paper, for a better 'wooden' look. I haven't begun building it yet, but I am...

The Shark is gone That is indeed good news! Good riddens. Now the old Cardmodels.net forum is back in the caring hands were it belongs. And as soon as I have posted 15 posts, I can post web links as well! Which I can add to the 1500 or so old posts I have written. Great! No hard...
