    Tip for gluing closed models

    This is my first tip, hope I can help someone with this. Probably someone else had thought about this before, but I came up with it by myself... (*proud, proud* :) ) I built the FG Ho-IV. The problem was: When I wanted to attach the wings to the middle "fuselage" section (The Hortens were...

    ugly paper joints

    Thanks ennder, Zathros, and sjsquirrel. I hadn't thought of the coloring option before gluing, I somehow assumed it would have to be after the fact. I agree that such colorings make or break a model, and I'm really not satisfied with my work here. Since I'm a beginner, I must admit that my...

    ugly paper joints

    Hello all, And sorry if this was discussed in someone else's thread already... I downloaded the model of a Dragon Quest Slime from some website (and if I ever find that again, I'll post it here, I think it was paper-replika.com, papercraftsquare.com, http://tektonten.blogspot.com, or some such...

    Fiddler's Green Ho-IX V1 and DM-1

    Didn't know Schreiber had a free model... Thanks! Yes, I'll stick to it. I guess I just need to keep working on it. It's way too cool to give it up, for sure!

    Model colorings, patterns and textures

    Hello, I'm a beginner in paper modelling, and I'm already going crazy... :mrgreen: I was looking for as simple a model as I could possibly find, for me to start. The FG Ho-IX V1 and DM-1 seemed like the perfect models, essentially consisting of only 3 part (for the main airframe). But I'm just...

    Stupid question from a beginner

    Thanks all All and Zathros, Thanks for the warm welcome, and all the useful hints. Sometimes it's simple things that are way beyond the reach... I really appreciate y'all's help! I will have to move across the country for a new job soon, so I won't be able to get to this right away, but I'll...

    Stupid question from a beginner

    Hello, I'm new here, so Hello to all first. This is my first post, so please bear with me. I consider myself reasonably smart, and capable with my hands. I build RC airplanes from scratch (some even with supersimple rectangular cardboard fuselages and tail units/empennages), and I do Origami...
