He.... usually music is useful when making models. It can prevent us against throwing by a window a model under construction that made us teed off.

The Kate looks very good.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done!

 

[Hotntot]

I think I can sum it up in one word - 'Brilliant'.

 

[Airframes]

I agree there - very nice indeed!
Wonder if I could play a steel guitar? I used to play the guitar, for about 40 years, until my left hand decided to stop working! Miss playing, but that steel has given me an idea!

Thank you Buddy, HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm all it needs is a set of wings a prop and she is good to go, LOLlllllll dont know how I got it in here but I guess everyone likes it. Been playing steel scince I was a child, I had a few bands at one time I use play with being 71 years old kind of put a damper on that. I horse around on it ionce a while just to keep me in playing shape. Thankjs Terry for the reply on my KAtE I hope today will clear up so I can take some good finished pictures of her.

That's a great job on the card plane. I've never heard of these until just this year. How do you find them?

Thank you for the reply on My KATE card modeling has been arounbd for centurys first introduced in Europe and still is once upon a time it was very popular here in the U.S.A but at the event of balsa wood and plastic kits they faded out no damand for them anymore BUTtt there are on there way back with the Skyrocketing porices of plastic and resinb kits has forced a lot of us modlers back into card modeling. I,m retired from the nave serving 30 years my naval pension cant suppoort plastic i knew was going to happen 40 years ago for the past 46 years of my life i am now 71 years young Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have a vast collection in my stash for my retirement builds. NOw to obtain card models this is the place. Paper Model Store they have a large section of card model ships artillery aircraft cheap too, Here is another picture of my Kate hanging over my head.

Thank you very much for your wonderfull reply on my KATE, Card models are difficult at first their assembly method is coded lines in makeing cones and shapes. A different form in modeling when finished it will pass for plastic or wood, as mentioned on last post there are a lot of great modlers that are going to card modeling. With the Skyrocketing prices in plastic kits drives you away into something else. I can thank myself for all thoise years of hoarding kits that i bought in the past. Now they are my stash for future builds. Thanks again for your reply.
