I didn't do the landing gear, as it's just made from plain old paper, and the colours are off, as I'm out of ink !

In retrospect ( no pun intended

) I should have done the folds the other way round, and put my own RCN markings on her !

Cheers !

Very nice Toad!!

I have one in 1/48 if you're interested!

Captain Canada · February 06, 2004, 10:59:22 AM

Thanks Ollie ! It was real easy to build, and looks spot on ! Even the complex canopy curves and the round to twin jet-pipe fuselage shape !

Cool !

I'm thinking of rolling a printed sheet sheet up and putting it into a tube with some Elmer's glue....as a traveller, you know, in case of emergencies !

1/700 HMS Albion

Hey, those are pretty nice too, Geoff !

Look pretty tough to build, tho....and you'd definately need card !

Cheers !

FANTASTIC!!!

seriously, i'm impressed - it looks pretty good when its built, eh?

see all the things that you can be doing when you are supposed to be doing work instead?

if we can get a few more naval planes then the expense of the allied naval group build's gonna drop some!

Toad,
Is that Fiddlers Green, or another card company? I just love paper models.

Captain Canada · February 07, 2004, 05:37:57 AM

Spot on, Lyn !

Retro posted a link a few days back......my 4 year-old boy played with it all day, even survived to trips in the car and dinner at my Grans.

Then it got stepped on.........

Oh well, guess I'll have to print out un autre !

Oh boy!

^_^ Who needs WEM anymore?! :dum:

Actually, one could print these out to another scale, then use them as templates for plasticard. :ar: Your miniature RN ships could be properly fueled and armed at sea!

My latest Fiddlers' Green, a Fokker E.1. I usually buy my paper models from Paper Models International, and send a cheque.(as I don't have a Credit Card)

Must admit I saw some of the paper/card models of pre-dreadnaught battleships at MK and was tempted !
