    Humble beginnings…

    Great to know, I’ll check it out! My printer is an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series. The replacement cartridges (we get the extra large), sell for about 70-73 dollars retile for two cartridges, (one black, one color). The not-so-funny thing is that I can buy a brand new printer, the HP Deskjet 3050...

    Another plane build!

    That’s a little past my level of expertise, but something to eventually work towards. I’m not sure I have that much patience! Thanks again for your expertise. I really do appreciate it.

    Another plane build!

    I must admit I didn’t use the propellers that came with the model, I used the props that came with the Corsair model, (I liked them better, so I scaled them to match the ones that came with the Skyrocket, and doubled the thickness. One regular, one reversed). Then I roll some card stock around a...

    Is it better now?? I'm not sure when you posted your comment, Revell-Fan. I see the photos, so I'm hoping you posted before I finished working on it... Randy

    Another plane build!

    This is my latest build. The Grumman Skyrocket or the XF5F-1. To try to make a long story short, I used to collect comic books. (At it’s height, 35.000 Marvel comics. But that’s a story for another time!). My step-dad would tell me about the comics he used to read, one of which was Blackhawk...

    Humble beginnings…

    I have the templates to about 160 one page card model airplanes (including a few Gee Bee racers!). I believe there's model pilones in case someone would want to build a racing diorama. I plan on building many more planes in the future, though I need to start with something simple. That's where...

    Thank you all for such positive feedback! Wow! I live about 20 minutes from Oshkosh, and didn’t know they had a flying replica of the Mulligan! It’s always been one of my favorites ever since I built a 5 foot balsa model of the Mulligan as a teenager. I originally found the plans in a very small...

    As a new member, I’ve been encouraged to post photos of my projects. Although these aren’t the first paper models I’ve built, I’m still very new at this and these are my first paper model airplanes. (The scale is in inches). I neglected to take photos of the build, but I will on my next project...
