Fiddlers Green

Built this a little while ago. I like how it turned out. I went together really nice too.

And here is the latest addition to my fleet; the JN4 and mail truck. I spent alot of time with the rigging. I could have spent more, but you have to stop sometime, eh?

As always, click on the thumbnail for the larger picture.

This is another picture of the Jenny and mail truck form another angle, and posted on another web board.

The Russian Front Winter version. It turned out very nice, I think. Great model to build too.

and another veiw of the same JU52. This picture, taken head on in my rather dark basement, turned out rather well. It kinda gives you the impression of a JU getting read for takeoff in the pre-dawn darkenss during the winter of 1943-44.

Now that Robs wonderful F-100 model has been posted, I feel free to post a couple of pictures. Rob kindly invited me to act at a beta tester, using Red River Silver paper.

The pictures here are of the NM National Guard F-100, one in silver, and one printed on light gray cardstock. The light gray one has a few embellishments; I opened up the cockpit, scratch-built the ladder, and stuck a seat and console from another paper model that looked close enough in scale to fit.

nice work on the improvements - I saw the hun posted this morning...but now it seems to have disappeared

HHere is my latest and most certainly not greatest...the Santos Dumont airship. Man, did I ever have a bad time with that rigging! and I'm still not very happy wiht the final outcome (the hose to the balloon is too big) but I just refuse to spend any more time on it. I must admit to having fun touching up the picture in photoshop, so it simply Soars over the table on my deck.



and as always with imageshack, click on the thumnail for a larger picture.

I think that you made it very well. I certanly couldn't have done better on the rigging.

tThanks...thats its good side. The slack in the rigging (and there was alot of it) was taken up on the other side of the model using copious amounts of glue and much muttering under my breath.

HHere is another view of the SD Airship, this time its circling the Eifel Tower!

.....Tim--I guess that's why I like jets--no rigging.

lSome shots of the Fokker T2.

First a shot of it as it circles around my basement ceiling.

Next is an attempt by me to use my very limited photoshop abilities. Its supposed to look like a grainy photo with the pilot standing in the open cockpit.
