You'll need to get the free Pepakura Viewer to read the .pdo files. It's available here: Pepakura Designer The files ending in "-p" have the developed patterns ready to printed. Roger

I'm not sure if you guys are aware of it, but the Google Groups group "CardModels4Fun" has a lot of hakos in the files section. It looks like there haven't been any new uploads since March 2007 though. From what I remember, Butch Price started this group specifically for hakos on the old...

I just happened upon this old thread while trying to translate names of Polish card model kits. The kit you might be looking for is the Maly Modelarz 1961/08 issue. It's a 1:50 scale RTTL-2754, although the description on their site was simply "Kuter radarowy RAF" (RAF radar cutter), so it...

Paul, Thanks for sharing this! This is definitely getting put at the top of my to-build list. Roger

Paul, I hope that this unfortunate occurrence doesn't discourage you from designing models. I have not personally built your Marvin the Martian model, but I plan to build Ren as soon as you have officially released it. It's amazing that some people would be so impatient to get something that...

Paul, Ren looks great:thumb:. I can't wait for you to release it. I hope you have Stimpy planned for the future. Roger

The radiator hoses and spark plug wires are nice touches. It looks like the model is coming along very well. Roger

A while back I built a PModel A-4 for a work buddy of mine in the USMC markings of the unit he supported in Vietnam. I brought it to work for him as a surprise and I'd swear it almost brought a tear to his eye. He's not elderly, but even so he appreciated the gesture a lot! Roger

Webdude, Have you thought about designing a model of Carl from ATHF? Roger

BazookaJo, Thanks for the model. It looks great! Roger

BazookaJo, Thanks for the model. It looks great! Roger

David, You might want to consider P.Model's Shinden. It's a downloadable PDF for which you pay for the password. It's a nicely designed model in 1:33 scale with wheelwells, although it doesn't have a cockpit and clear canopy, but one could be scratchbuilt easily enough...

DeWayne, Here are comparative specs for the Gearing Class: Displacement: 2425 tons Length: 390''6" Beam: 40'10" Draft: 18'6" Speed: 35 knots Armament: 6 5"/38, 2x5 21" torpedo tubes Complement: 355 High-pressure super-heated boilers, geared turbines with twin screws, 60,000 h.p. and Fletcher...

Here's a question for the ship folks. Since I normally build planes and land vehicles I thought I'd ask your opinions. I'm looking for a card model of a Fletcher class WWII destroyer that is not too difficult and will look reasonably good. I see that Modelik has the USS Leutze, which is a...

Leif, If you need some pointers in Illustrator, I might be able to help. I've scaled up some vector models myself, but only 1/72 --> 1/48 or 1/50 --> 1/33, etc. Nothing as large as what you've done. Roger

You can do a screen grab in any Windows application by hitting Alt-PrintScrn on your keyboard. This copies the active window to the clipboard. Ctrl-PrintScrn copies the entire screen to the clipboard. Open up an image editing application (even Microsoft Paint will work), create a new file...

Leif, Thanks for the nice comparison writeup on the two I-16 models. It made me interested in building the free 1:33 Modele Kartonowe version. This will be a nice change from my usual US WWII planes. When I went to print it, however, I was disappointed to find that it wouldn't fit on US...

ARMORMAN, The Spongebob model you're looking for is Ron Caudillo's design and it's available at the SmartGroups Paper Models site in the Files section. You will probably need to join if you haven't already. Here's the direct link...
