When I Was Younger....

[retro_seventies]

magnificent, truly.

scratchbuilding in one of it's most uncomplicated forms - i can't imagine making that f-22 from paper alone...astonishing.

[Matej]

Here we go again!

Could you tell us the recipe to create such marvels?

To be very unsatisfied with the toys from the shop.

Is it a different scale canopy? Or have you increased canopy height by a factor 3 then scratch-built it? (uneasy, but I may dream I could)

I did it at the time, when I had only a very few pics of F-22 in only one book. Since the accuracy was not a primary goal, I optimized it in the way that I was able to implement the cockpit to the fuselage. My idea was: Does it look good? Yes. Goal achieved.

Dobry den a vitame vas, Matej!

Potesenie je na mojej strane.  

Matej, even more amazing work...these look so fun! I really want to take them and run through the house flying them around each sharp corner! My wife just shakes her head and says I'm wierd but it's fun

Wanna play? I have something better for you! Complete air force in one pack!! Fighters, bombers, spy planes, helicopters, ASW planes, transports, and of course all support eqipment such as SAM missile launchers, tanks, gas trucks... etc. These models are primarily made to play so they are simple to made, robust and purpose-built.



Of course you need also the enemy force.



When something happens, resecue is on the way. Note - this aircraft has variable geometry wing. Just one office clip and it can be moveable and robust enough for everyday use. Simple ideas are usually the best.



Some of the planes are unmanned...



...some at least a bit conventional...



...and a lot of them highly unconventional!



One of the most interesting idea was MAS - Multivector Attack System. It consists of one manned carrier and command plane with turbofan engine for cruise and two smaller attack unmanned fighters.



And when you want a navy and marine corps, here they are.

Great work Matej!

I also like your web site, but there were a few places on it a couldn't access for some reason.

You have some very nice pictures of aircraft. As for the text, well, my Czech is still very basic right now, so I couldn't make much progress through the Slovak.

One day, when I speak enough Czech, I may be able to make time to understand the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between the two languages. I have two Slovak channels on T.V. and have been to Bratislava a few times, but I still can't tell by listening, where the differences are between it and Czech.

Where are you in Slovakia?

Aw, cool----We're all coming over on the weekend to play, Matej!!!

And I will bring my cardboard (Cardboard, Yum!!!) stuff to join the games, too!!!

OK, I reserved the date. Who wants the lunch, please write it now, because I need to tell it to my mom one day before.  

To upnorth: You couldn´t access them simply because they are not on the server (yet).    Its the great amount of work and also I am lazy, so it will take some time.

Before seeing your profile I thought that you are from the Czech republic. Well, for non-native speaker it is difficult to understand both languages. I realized it thanks to one my friend, who lives here for a long time, but when I started to speak our local dialect, he was lost. I live near to Presov:
