    I don't know if I'm doing this right but I'm done with I400 Submarine

    A nice feeling when you finally complete something... Great looking sub, there really must be some fantastic buoyancy in there to keep the vessel from rolling over? Glad you had fun building this and look forward to seeing some of your build of the Marauder

    'Skid-Fizz' or to be precise Sd-Kfz 250/3 GREIF

    My second post for the Skid-Fizz... (childhood name I gave this vehicle) Most of this week was research, both on the real thing and also on the model. The instructions, detailed as they are, leave a lot down to the builder to figure out 'what goes where' and there's really a steep learning...

    'Skid-Fizz' or to be precise Sd-Kfz 250/3 GREIF

    Thank you, will probably be something small at the weekend Cheers, I'm pleasantly surprised with them myself, but took far too long to make, I just hope the rest of the model looks as good!

    'Skid-Fizz' or to be precise Sd-Kfz 250/3 GREIF

    WW2 modelling is a subject I left behind in the 80's Aircraft, tanks and small soldiers were all constructed, painted and played with, yes played with. Usually recreating some kind of battle in my neighbours loft on his train set layout. I knew enough about various vehicles, planes etc to...

    ON ZETA, THEY DO IT RIGHT.

    Every time I see a flat paper face before they are cut out, I can't help thinking of the miner in Outland decompressing... Nice start, some fine legwork

    Thanks for your observations and kind comments, taking yourself out of the 'comfort zone' can only improve your skill set, I have the Vespa in the 'to do file' with rider... I suppose its the beauty of paper, that its easy to try, try, and try again Hopefully Paddy, the new owner will take a...

    Self critique, the model builders worst enemy! Having said that, I'll take your 'excellent' with open arms, thanks muchly. The poseable wheels help sell it, but far from 'The Real Thing' If the thread helps someone build one, then all the work on this model will be ratified. Thank you for your...

    The End... well at the finish of this post, it will all be over... At the start of this build, I wasn't holding out much hope to produce a decent car model. most of my attempts at cars in paper form nearly always seems to end up with some kind of car-crash model which vaguely resembles to the...

    Razor Crest - A Return to the Bench

    Cheers for that, It was just an quick experiment on a cheap 3d printed model to see if the foil would work on the 1/18th version I have. I also tried to some craft foil sheets, but they didn't want to stick with any of the glues I had. I just used self adhesive foil insulation tape, which was...

    Lancia Stratos

    Just one of those things, I tried so many different way to make it look good, but hey-ho, you win some you lose some, and thanks for the lovely comment. Thank you... I hated it for a time, then loved it a bit... we'll see how she turns out tomorrow when its all finished.

    Great suggestions, but this model is a gift... If I were to build it for myself, then I'd possibly consider pimping my ride!
