    RB/WB-57F Kit

    Arron Murphy of OddBall Productions has just announced the release of a 1:48 cardmodel of the Martin/General Dynamics WB/RB-57F. It has a 30"+ wingspan and is a very nice representation of this obscure Cold War aircraft. These picts are of the Prototype and minor graphics changes have been...

    Hi From Perth Western Austalia

    Welcome aboard. You live in a very beautiful city, for a big city. I spend about 10 days on your west coast about 10 years ago. I visited the mint and was able to pick up that pure gold brick that they have on display there! I just couldn't get it thru the hole that my hand went thru to get...

    Some of my airplane builds

    Thanks Zathros, I know that I don't venture too far from the FG models and I been given some flak over it. I've also seen a lot of comments about how poorly they are designed and that they don't go together right....... I don't get it, maybe my standards are set too low for some of the...

    J-3 in water One of the things I like to do is photograph my models, take the image an place it in a "real world" environment using either Photoshop or Bryce, sometimes both. Here is my FG J-3 with pontoons sitting on a table. And here it is 'sitting' in the water using Bryce software...

    WWII Airfield Diorama pieces

    After posting some images of my dioramas I've received some requests for info on where I get my diorama accessories. I'm including some picts of some of the builds I've done as well as photos supplied by the designers. These are all designed at 1:48 and 1:50 and can be rescaled to fit your...

    Thanks Zathros, I will get together the info on the links for these Airfield accessories. As for AirDave, heck, don't loose any sleep over his attitude, in the world of the web/internet we're all just a bunch of electrons. One click of a button and we're all gone;-) Like you said, he does...

    B-24 Diorama This diorama was created using mostly card models. The jeep is plastic, because at the time I couldn't find a good cardmodel. Since I did the diorama, a good one has been designed..... The engine hoist is an old coat hanger and some scrap pieces from the scrap box... click to...

    B-24 "The Dragon and His Tail" I've never been a big fan of B-24's, but I promised myself that I'd have to build at least one, IF someone ever designed at cardmodel of this famous "Highly Decorated" aircraft. Well, about a year ago, a designer and friend, John Dell did just that!! I think...

    Some of my airplane builds

    Thanks to all of you for the nice comments, it is much appreciated. I will try to post larger images, I'm just so use to trying to keep file sizes down, so it might take a 'nag' or two to keep it in mind. Remind me again Zathros if I don't make my next posted images larger. Thanks again...

    Boeing Model 299, grand daddy to the B-17 This is a 1:48 of the Boeing Model 299............this is a John Dell design that I bought from FG about 7-8 years ago. It's a nicely designed kit, went together with little difficulty and really stand out in a crowd... enjoy, Swampfox

    Some of my airplane builds

    Thanks Ruben, I appreciate your comments.... The early models with rigging. wing support spars etc can be a real trick to pull off. Of course all you see it the finished model....and nobody really admits to having to build a model 4-5 times before it comes out right!! Which I have done several...

    Some of my airplane builds

    Thanks Zathros, I do keep them in a dust resistant glass case, so they are well protected. I was planning on just continuing this thread with more picts. This is a FG model of the Sikorsky S-38, twin engine flying yacht. It was a bit difficult to build but overall not all that bad. Again...

    Some of my airplane builds

    Being new here I thought I'd post a sample of some of the card models I've built over the last 5+ years.... I hope I've figured out how to post images so lets see what happens. These a posted roughly in historical order of when the aircraft was produced. Pre-Wright designs Wright Brothers...
