Another freebe is the USA, Mortar Barge, 1862, available at http://www.papershipwright.co.uk/ps23/details.shtml . This is an excellent first ship model to build, it is highly accurate, goes together quickly, and is free. I believe that is was designed by David Hathaway. Although this is a US...

A mythical swamp monster is next in the line up. It cost $5 and can be picked up at http://ecardmodels.com/product_info.php?cPath=60_115_92&products_id=1551 . It is designed by CT Ertz. The model comes with the display base. On this model I attempted to punch out the wooden grates on the...

Another freebe from CT Ertz is the CSS Raleigh. It is a free download from the cardmodelers.com website http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=353 . I added the spar torpedo from the same site, http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=220 . The flag...

Next up on the build is the CSS Palmetto State, designed by CT Ertz. The model is a free download available at http://ecardmodels.com/index.php?cPath=60_115_92 . You have to "order" it clicking on "add to cart", but the price is $0. The display stand comes with the model. I added a flag...

Next on the massive megabuild is the CSS Ashley. The model was designed by CT Ertz. I built this up as a beta build, so it hasn't yet been released. When it is available, I'm sure you can pick it up at http://ecardmodels.com/index.php?cPath=60_115_92 . It's very similar to the CSS...

I wanted to give a more detailed photo analysis and information for each kit, starting with the CSS Virginia. The model is from Paper Shipwrights at http://www.papershipwright.co.uk/ps06/details.shtml . The model is designed by David Hathaway. I don't know if it is available as a download...

I had knee surgery a few weeks ago, and the recovery process has let me clear up a large stack of unbuilt models. For most of these models I made a build report over at papermodelers.com, but I thought I would share the pictures of them here.

With the completion of the C.S.S. Tuscaloosa the fleet continues to build.

Here's some shots of the growing Confederate Navy. The blue ironclad is the CSS Raleigh, a free download at another papermodelers site.

I know there's a wooden rabbit from Monty Python's Holy Grail movie available. :mrgreen:

The CSS Palmetto State isn't a new model, in fact it's one of the most popular models over at ECardModelers.com. But since not everybody visits that site, and it's not readily apparent that it's free from there, I thought I would highlight it. Admit it, you looked at this thread because the...

Here's some photos of the C.S.S. Palmetto State, a free download from ECardModelers.com. It was designed my C.T. Ertz, and goes together in less than a weeks' worth of evening sessions. The model is not listed in the "free" submenu of ECardModelers.com, you will have to find it under military...

I'm also living in the tarball state, a belated welcome aboard. Does your store let you display your models, or is that too much competition for them? You seem to have the perfect job for introducing paper modeling to a lot of customers.

I picked up one of the observation domes from DRMO. It was made of 1/2" thick plexiglass and perfectly clear. My kid loved to sit in it and rock back and forth when he was 5 years old. I was going to make it into an aquarium coffee table, but when I was TDY the wife threw it away. I'll never...

I was thinking a Hooters model might be nice, and not too hard to color.

Shouldn't be much of a problem. The model already has -300 style engines. Should just take a slightly different wing shape and a slightly shorter body. Wing flaps and slats are all the same.

Yep

I got mine several years ago, so not sure exactly where. I think I sent away to Poland for them. I got several different types at the same time to cut down on the per piece mail cost. You might try the Fly Model web site for a link.

No thank you, we already have one.

Do provide some build pictures. I have this in my build pile, should get to it around Sept 2028. I went ahead a bought the vac-u-form canopy for my model.
