The REALLY MINIATURE wing of Fiddlers Green's World's Smallest Air Museum

Miniature Paper Models are the favorite past time of some of our modelin' friends..
Here's a little Miniature Air Museum to show them off.

Free Iti-Biti models are on our downloadable business cards at:

HI CHIP,
WE HAVE ORDERED AND DOWNLOADED MANY OF YOUR PLANES, AND MY NEPHEW ABSOLUTELY LOVES THEM, HE IS 6 YEARS OLD AND OBSESSED WITH PLANES. HE SOMEHOW GOT IN TO YOUR COLLECTOR POSTCARD PAGE, AND PRINTED THE PAGE OUT. HE THEN CUT OUT THE MESSERSCHMITT AND PUT IT TOGETHER, HE WANTED ME TO E-MAIL THE PICTURE TO YOU, SO HERE IT IS.
THANKS
TERRY AND ZACK

(the post card collectors page is at :X and what this little rascal did was to
print a thumb nail image!

Thanks to Wayne White for both these sweet little models

Dave Caldwell has been real busy lately as you can see. The quarter is just about how much these two models cost.. Truly qualified for induction into the Worlds Smallest Air Museum. Thanks Dave!

Dave writes this correction: Noticed one little error...and I do mean little....My miniture WSAM planes are actually next to a poorly photographed dime - not a quarter. See, I am crazier than you thought!!

More of Dave's work (same dime, if I KNOW DAVE) heheheh

Thanks to Wayne White for this adorable Pietenpol

Doc Rowland, one of our modeling pals, gave a couple tiny DR-1s to a neighbor of his and before you could say Kosmick Jellyfish, there were these two miniature Dr-1s with spans of about two inches. Barry Lank is one of our newest and obviously most talented paper modelers. Thanks to Doc Rowland, Der Zany Doktor, for finding Der Panzer Doktor,... Barry Lank

You enclosed a little card plane with each Mega CD and one night I actually felt crazy enough to take on your challenge. Here are some pictures of the Bullet sitting on a dime... Weemeng Lee

I recently purchased the new X-15 model and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed building it and what I've done with it. I printed it at the same size as the "thumbnail" image on its web page (print at 33%). Why? It looked to me that the thumbnail was just big enough to actually build, but $2 to get a higher resolution image was well worth it. The finished model is 2"5/16 long which works out to a scale 1:262. I think it came out surprisingly well given my big stubby fingers.

Also please forward my appreciation to Jim Cookson for an excellent design, and please add me to the voices encouraging him to design an SR-71, I promise to buy one the minute I find it's available. Thanks ..Steve M

I thought I'd show you a couple photos that were taken by Peter Crow of Fiddler's Green planes which I've reduced to (about) 1:144 scale. The Piper Cub and Me 262 look very nice, and I also have a mini-Gee Bee which I'll have to get a photo of sometime later. I really enjoy building your aircraft, Chip, and I always have a couple FG planes printed out and ready when I display my paper models at local model clubs. The kids love the free models I hand out, and I hope they and their parents get "hooked".
	David Okamura sends us these two models he uses to impress members of his local plastic model clubs. Thanks David!!
	This just in from Wayne Cutrell...It's suspect..He might have enlarged that penny. :-)

Dr Jim Cookson sends in these gems-(he's a surgeon :-)

They're faster to make than the giant 1:60 scalers. I've already finished the GeeBee and it looks fantastic! The fuselage is barely longer than my fingernail but it was actually easier to make at this size than at the WSAM level...... I'm also into origami, so I'm used to this kinda thing but the Me 209 was the first model of that size that I had to glue together. It really baffles me though, how I can even make this stuff. I mean, you could practically fit a runway for these little guys in the palm of my hand! Mike M-(June 3, 01)

A while ago, after I submitted the pix of my Pistachio-version of the Pietenpol you wondered (rhetorically) as to why so many of FG's models had been made up in extreme miniature. Well, I can't speak for anyone but myself but your format lends itself to greater degrees of miniaturization. FG's models, when built "as printed," go together quite nicely and for the most part, reasonably easily with, always EXCELLENT results. The down-sized versions make up just as nice with equally excellent results. I find myself making more and more of your models force-printed to a 4X6 sheet. Like I commented once before, I get a whole lot of model for the money with FG anyway, but when I super-down-size the beauties, I can get at least two to a normal sheet of stock...Think of the cost savings in paper and ink!

Frankly, I find building FG's models more damned fun than most things legal...(This'll teach ya to wonder out-loud). Enough pontification...on to building models...,,, Wayne White (Dec, 29,00)
