In memory of Fabrizio Prudenziati - Zio Prudenzio

[zathros]

We Admins here at Zealot wish to try conserve the life works of these people. We are not hoarding them, but paying respect, and distributing them as they did, free.

INDEED.

Here's my tribute. I thought it fitting to be an Italian plane.

My first attempt at a scale paper model.... I thought it would be relatively straight forward given it's a single sheet of A4. Wrong!
I made quite a few errors including getting the underside of the wings wet!
Never mind. It was a good test and learning experience.
It's a funny thing. Building models challenges you to understand the mind of the designer in a way that can't really be explained. Well not by me anyway.

Great job Steve! Zio models have something special, I don't know what it is, maybe it's because I started this hobby with them. My first model was an Albatross. They're not simple, they have their tricks, and they're lovely. Very well done. !!

Thanks Sergio!
They sure are tricky, but very enjoyable models.
Perhaps I may do a couple more monoplanes then move on to biplane.
The Albatross is one of my favourites of that era.
Perhaps that will also be my first ww1 plane too...

I've just discovered his models via Papermodellers facebook page. Here is a link to all his models that you can download.

I have just resized his Se5a to 1-48 scale and am busy building it.
Enjoy.

Hi Admins,
would it be ok if, as I resize them to 1/48 scale to build, I upload the resized A4 pdf's to the resource section?

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

I do not have a problem with it, so long as you mention that it is a resized version of the original Zio Prudenzio model, in the description.

 

[Revell-Fan]

I agree.

 

[zathros]

They are approved!!

I love Zio's models, especially the figures. Here are the models I completed.

Everything looks crisp and clear a well done job. I love the hot rod.

Thank you.

Looks like his website has been taken over by a realtor's 'blog'? It is all in Italian, but that is what is looks like... yep, translate shows that is true.

Did find a 'tribute' site however at: https://www.kendar.org/zioprudenzio/fokker.html

Excellent, superb find!! Thank you very much!!

I like that this thread gets revived. He left the world a legacy with his unique designs. Some of them, well let's just say, you had to know how the actual car went together! It would help.

First I did not realize that this is quite an old thread. Nonetheless I would like to appreciate his work with a build of his mini sloop "Via Così", gently slooping on calm waters

 

[mijob]

Very nice work all looks very 3c.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

That looks very good! You did a GREAT JOB on this project!

Beautiful!!!
