    FG Piper J-5 AE in 1/160 Diorama

    Here's an Air-Evac operation in progress, circa 1943. Piper J-5 AE in 1/160. Figures are Preiser, modified and painted to US Navy colors. The windsock staff is the height of a #11 blade. Enjoy, Lep

    How to protect paper models from dust?

    I use the rigid clear plastic fruit boxes from the grocery to store. Take out a few at a time for display a few days, then change with others

    Very nice job! I'm building this model in 1/72 now with the intent of scratchbuilding the trailers and howitzers for a diorama. These references will be a big help. What did you use for rivets? Best, Lepercan

    Scratchbuilding is dead, I guess

    All I can say is that scratching is NOT dead at my house. In the scales I usually build, 1/72, 1/144, 1/160 and 1/288, there is not a lot around TO buy so I have to do it myself. I must say it adds to the satisfaction when a diorama is completed to know you MADE all of it. Lep

    Why do you build card models

    A lot of it is the number of friends I have in the paper forums. Lep

    No, it's a download from MircomodelsUSA. Not a bad build.

    So, what does your wife think?

    I'm a papermodeler. My wife thinks I spend too much time on it, but supports me in it as she (usually) knows where I am and what I'm up to. How is it that the older we get the more we sound like little boys? Lep

    Why do you build card models

    It's closer to scratchbuilding; which is my first (and main) love in modelling. Lep

    mortar boat no.10 build

    VERY nicely done! I'm impressed with your mortar; any special technique making it look that good? I built this one about a year ago. Yours is much better! Lep
