Grumman Goose Flying magThe Grumman Goose model has been patiently waiting for the re-launch of our site but it's going to be another few weeks more before we work through the rough edges. Thanks guys, you've all been very patient.

Affectionately nicknamed 'Grumman Goose'. the G-21 was Grumman's first monoplane to fly, its first twin engined aircraft, and its first aircraft to enter commercial airline service. This remarkably versatile amphibian has served for over fifty years in a variety of roles that have confirmed the strength and durability of its original design.

Dr. Glen Volyn and I have been working on this one for a few months and we've come up with a real easy assembly. The BW version is begging for a few more easy to do versions. There's three in the folder now including the #78 shown above.

So, this one is free to all and you should find it in your folder now under WWII category.

UPDATE:
The new program is about 95% completed and no one's more anxious than I am to get it up and running. Nick is puttingg the finishing touches on it this coming week.

To play it smart...there's two things you need to know.

Wait a little longer until the new models start flowing again to renew your magic keys.

Better order that CD(s) you've been lusting for because soon they'll be split up into smaller ones and overall be more expensive. Prices haven't changed in years but we've added a massive number of new models. Still three months of magic keys comes with every CD.

Cardmodel designer Bill Perry, Portage, IN is already helping FG to get new models released as early as the end of July and will join us full time in September. A very clever marketing gal named LA Ann is joining us also in September. Folder fees will be going far to cover these two salaries. (more later)

Thanks for your patience. Hope you're all weathering the recession the Bush admministration says we're not in. We're thinking that it just might be a very good time to promote inexpensive cardmodeling.

Paying in Foreign money?
The Euro (& Canadian Loonie) is stronger than the dollar and buying Fiddlersgreen models has never been a better deal. Did you know that your credit card automatically (and without a charge!) changes your currency to USD ?

Kelly Thanks Chip! You've saved my life. There's only so much Reality TV a person can watch without a model to build along with it.

As I travel around doing insurance adjusting for various storms, I always enjoy getting your emails and seeing the models. It's such a nice connection back to normal lacy and better days. It's such a nice relief from the endless damage and heartache.

I'll order up the CD and a year of "Magic Keys" to go with it. I'm really excited about the magic keys. I know I'll grow hair and be taller with them. Tis a great service you do....Now if my parole officer will just let me have metal scissors...Kelly


This stuff is so cool!
My brother, a career Army sergeant and long-time model-maker, turned my son on to them when my son was about 3 (that was when we figured he was capable of Alex at workwatching and NOT grabbing the Exacto knives!). My son has been ‘addicted’ ever since and now, at 5 1⁄2, he cuts out his own models and glues (and sometimes, depending on how impatient he is that day, scotch-tapes) them together. When my brother, my two nephews (the sons of my other brother) and my little boy are camped out around our dining room table coloring, painting, cutting, scoring and gluing it is QUITE the Model-Maker’s Delight. Plus, even with the drifts of little tiny paper bitsies under the table, I love it myself. Thank you again! Linda

Until now I've been very pleased with FG and your models,,
the trouble is I'm getting more and more pleased with every new model you release - when will it stop? :) Have lots of nice days !! Palle of FYN, Denmark


Love your photo, big guy.
I chuckle every time I come here! chip


Jess-Briscoe Jess's WSAM hangs from the ceiling...
I work up in northern Canada all winter in the oil field, sitting in well site shacks all day drilling horizontal holes. This of course gives me lots of time to build FG models. Every time someone comes to visit they think my WSAM that hangs from the ceiling is so cool. They always leave with one or two. (then I build more). Thanks for making the long winters short. Jess Briscoe, Westbank, B.C. Canada


George-BurgessI am a pensioner here in South Africa and only have a rudimentary knowledge of this technical stuff. In any case thank you for the models I have - I don't get around much because of health and poverty reasons so they are my "friends". You do a great job for people in my position. I just love you - and your models. Best Wishes, George Burgess
..and I love you GB, chip

Thank you Chip, I enjoy your models. They are a lifesaver to me. I have a high stress life and they keep me calm. Keep up the good work. Conley, Spanish Fork, UT

I like your models. I get them very cheaply from our RUSSIAN cardmodel pirates. But the fire down here makes it impossible to display them :(

If you know a kid- from anywhere in the world- who would love to build some paper models but just can't afford them, email us please.. We have a few dozen modeln' pals who are ready to volunteers to share their models over the internet

Every Fiddlers Green model has been created as a PDF file, the easiest, most reliable method for downloading graphics from the Web. Adobe Acrobat Reader is the software that lets you download PDF files, so that you can print and save them directly to your computer. You can print as many copies as you wish. Go ahead, give a friend a couple models if you'd like.
It gets better.

When you create your own My.Fiddlersgreen model folder from this home page, it comes with a generous whack of FREE models. A copy of every model you buy is automatically placed in your folder so you can access it forever. Just look in the 'categories' area. Magic keys aren't needed. It's easy! All you need is your email address as your log-in and a password of your choice. When you forget that, click to get it automatically emailed back to you.
