    90mm Joan of Arc

    Thanks for your comment. I've built two of Zio's figure kits so far and have quite a few waiting to be printed. The foot soldiers all follow the same basic design. I haven't tackled one of his mounted figures yet. To me, the bases he provides with his kits look too small, so I made the pedestal...

    90mm Joan of Arc

    I thought I'd share a few photos of my completed Joan of Arc miniature. This is one of Zio Prudenzio's beautifully rendered figure models. It was an easy, frustration free build. My model has a couple of small modifications: I thought that the stock face looked cartoonish, so I Photoshopped in...

    Evil Clown Atlas mech

    A while back I completed my build of designer Whammy's Atlas battlemech which can be downloaded over at the Mechwarrior3 site. My mech models are all a common 1/80 scale, so I resized the Atlas accordingly. I decided to make this a unique model so I used Photoshop to recolor the face with Evil...

    MC2 Raven Battlemech

    Thanks for your kind comments Dopedidu. Your photos document your growth as a paper modeler, from a well built but static first model, to a dynamically posed Raven (which tells a story), to a more complex model that is equally well posed and complemented with diorama elements. Nice work. I have...

    MC2 Raven Battlemech

    One of my favorite battlemechs has to be the Raven, based solely on its good looks. It's a light mech weighing in at 35 tons, but it has an important job - disruption of enemy communication and cohesion through electronic warfare, while simultaneously shielding friendly units from similar...

    1/72 FIAT G50 "Freccia"

    Thanks for the nice comments, fellas :mrgreen:. Chris, if I had noticed the misplacement before I had built up the fuselage, I would have fixed it with Photoshop. If you take a closer look at the top photo, you'll notice a strange jog in the white fuselage stripe. When I grab the markings with...

    1/72 FIAT G50 "Freccia"

    Yes, Zathros, I'd love to see more Italian fighters too. Zio has a number of them on his site, and I'll be building them all eventually. This model was a lot of fun to assemble, and since all his models follow the same basic "formula", I'm expecting the next one to be just as enjoyable.

    1/72 FIAT G50 "Freccia"

    Here we have my build of Zio Prudenzio's G50, scaled to 1/72. The artwork is beautiful, but I think he made a mistake with the placement of the fuselage markings on the starboard side. I didn't realize there was a problem until I put the tailplanes on, and by then I was so far along in the build...

    1/72 BF109E-7 Trop

    Thanks for the kind words, fellas. Socrates weren't no fool. There's a lot of 109's out there, and for free, it's hard to beat this one. Nobi is the MAN!

    1/72 Ki-115

    Thank you RB. I have to admit I was a bit embarrassed when I saw how long it had been. It didn't seem like it. How time flies!

    1/72 Ki-115

    I made some enhancements to the free Ki-115 kit by Paper Tiger Armaments, and came up with a pretty successful model. The original file was very low res, so I redrew all the lines with Photoshop to get rid of the chopiness. I added new roundels, and modified the fully enclosed canopy, to come up...

    1/72 BF109E-7 Trop

    Recently I resized the free 1/100 Bf109E Tropical (designed by Nobi from Thaipaperworks and available at eCardmodels) to my favorite scale of 1/72. The fit of the parts was absolutely perfect, even in the larger scale. The kit didn't have any fairings, but the wings fit so tightly to the...

    FG Yak-3 recolor

    Thank you for your kind replies. I feel a little silly, though. My Yak-3 file from Fiddler's Green has been on my computer for probably 4 years. At the time I downloaded it, the only additional livery offered in the Versions folder was the B&W. This past weekend, I downloaded the file again from...

    FG Yak-3 recolor

    I was poking around in my Fiddlers Green files, and I noticed that their Yak-3 has only 1 model in the "versions" folder - the black and white drawing. I was looking for something to recolor, so this model fit the bill perfectly. From the Wings Palette site, I chose the Yak-3 flown by General...

    Ehrhardt E-V/4 armored car

    The E-V/4 is finally done. I'm pretty happy with it. Pictures came out better than usual too. Enjoy

    Ehrhardt E-V/4 armored car

    Many thanks for your kind remarks, fellas. I added the machine guns the other day, and am still working on the wheels. Unfortunately, I sliced my thumb pretty deeply this morning (not due to card modeling), and am afraid I'll bleed all over any modeling projects. I'm going to let it heal up a...

    Ehrhardt E-V/4 armored car

    I was surfing for images of WWI armored cars last week, and I came across a black and white jpeg of an E-V/4. It was a partially completed, simple card model! For a couple of days I attempted to find out who designed the model, but came up empty. I decided to carry it forward myself using...

    Dragos' Brown B-1 racer (beta)

    Yeah, the seams are pretty glaringly obvious, but with paired bulkhead assembly, this is what you get. The seams show up particulary well here because of the small size of the model and the number of seams (9 in just over 3 inches if you count the spinner!). The light color of the airplane...
