Very pretty and nice!
Thanks, Christoph!

Thanks, Christoph!
I have just completed two model Autorails.
The Bugatti Autorail Rapide:
kartonbau.de/attachment/841086/kartonbau.de/attachment/841087/kartonbau.de/attachment/841088/
This print, I think, dates from the mid-20th century. Slightly inaccurate, it is missing 4 portholes and the bogeys only have 6 wheels. I made new bogeys, with the correct number of 8 wheels. I also added layered doors and coloured the lights (I think the lights are printed upside down). The scale is a very approximate 1/120.
The second one is based on a vintage French tinplate toy:
On this one, I made the 4 wheels able to rotate.
Here are the two together:

Recently-completed, this is a nice little print designed by a follower of mine on Instagram.
It does contain some inaccuracies, but these can be sorted out (and improved upon) during the build process.
I glazed the screen, added some rigging, and made the undercarriage more realistic.
The aircraft was built in 1945, prototype numbers only. Its 'boxy' appearance is down to the simple plywood and fabric materials. The fuel tank was mounted externally, in front of the screen, the engine being gravity-fed. The undercarriage was a simple fixed wooden design.
Very cheap to build, it was to be flown by a Kamikaze pilot. Japan ceased hostilities before the aircraft could be used.
Just completed my first Fiddlers Green model. The Sopwith Tabloid floatplane was built for the 1914 Schneider Trophy race (it won).
The model came out better than I expected. It wasn't an easy build, and the fit of some parts left something to be desired. I added rigging (a bit over-scale, but looks okay).
I'm looking forward to doing more from Fiddler's Green.

Display MoreHi Armando,
it's a very nice, little train. The Micromodels range is a really
nice voyage back in time. Simple but nice graphics, not so easy
to build but a little bit of the 40th and 50th in every one of them.
I'd appreciate more of this models...

Yes, I've made several Micromodels. Lots more to build 😀
Na ja…
Acquired taste, yes ..... I like them and view them as a part of social history and simpler times 😀
Two simple paper vehicles just completed. A Volkswagen Beetle and a U.S. mail van.
I found them on Pinterest and printed them out in approximately 1/50 scale.
Quite old, they have some charm. I like how the postal van has external fold lines and tab positions marked. And the Beetle is obviously a bit 'square'. I added Tamiya clear paint for the lights, thickened up the wheels, and incorporated cardboard stiffeners. A coat of acrylic spray varnish seals them.
I couldn't identify the type of mail van, so it's possibly just made up. It looks 1950s/60s in style.

Just completed this little model from a print that I found on the internet. I made it for my daughter, who has a Nissan Cube..... I thought she might display it when she takes her car to one of the many car shows she attends. She is a fan of Japanese cars.
I coloured the lights with Tamiya translucent paints and thickened the wheels. I made the base from cardboard and a print of the Rising Sun flag.

That's pretty fantastic!! 👍🏻✂️
Nice built. I Think its from the Paperdiorama-Site:
No, it's not that version, but I like that one too!! Thanks for the link - not heard of it before......
This is a model of the car which starred in the 1977 supernatural film starring James Brolin, about an evil car.
From My Little Paper Vehicles, I added hubcaps and widened the wheels. The actual vehicle was based on a Lincoln 'Continental' MkIII, customised by George Barris (who designed the Batmobile from the 1966 TV series).

Columbo is one of my favourite TV detectives. This model is from My Little Paper Vehicles and I printed it in 1/50.
I weathered it, as Columbo's car was always appeared worse-for-wear. I also did the headlights and rear light clusters with Tamiya translucent paint, and added hubcaps and clear craft crystals for front indicators.

Just completed, a free download from the Minimodel Catalogue
I re-scaled it to (approximately) 1/50. I added the waterslide decals (from my spares box) after gloss varnishing the model. I sealed the decals with a further coat of matt varnish.
Additions include: the rear exhaust, rear mud flaps, wider wheels, hubcaps, and front spotlights.
To fit on the roof rack, I decided to make a suitcase that Del Boy would probably carry around.
Three pieces of cardboard, two strips of paper and a piece of staple.
I also made a card box and filled it with scale coal - the coal is merely to fill it, as I wanted to cover it with a tarpaulin. The tarpaulin is a piece of tissue, stuck over it with dilute PVA.
I will paint these two pieces.
I used to own three Scimtars!! A 1968 SE4, a 1972 SE5 and a 1978 SE6.
Ha! Yes, Robert..... I remember this episode!!
Display MoreHi Armando,
nice model and a fantastic movie. Let there be light...

Another fan!!
Display MoreHello Armando,
very well done, the enhancements surely paid off!
Do you still have the download link?
KInd regards

If that doesn't work, I'll send you the file......
Recently-completed, this free download required a lot of effort to make it work.
The interior was strengthened with a cardboard skeletal structure. The fuselage was layered with panels. The rear engine, airlock and radiators were highlighted with aluminium and gold foils. I added forward lights on the fuselage and warning lights on Bomb No. 20. I plug-moulded a clear acetate observation dome and added the Talby character (printed/reduced photo). I added hidden magnets to enable the bomb to be attached/detached (coupled by the metal rod).
The scoutship features in the 1974 John Carpenter film Dark Star. It's a cult classic comedy sci-fi film. Dan O'Bannon also worked and starred in it, prior to his Alien movies.
