    A90 Orlyonok Ekranoplan

    Coming late to this discussion, and seeing the photos found by Billy Leliveld for the first time (here in a Google translated version: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Figor113.livejournal.com%2F51213.html) I must say...

    Looking for a large scale freighter

    S/S Gowerian You should check this 1:100 scale model, the Gowerian (the big version below): From the "Kartonwerft" site. It should be possible to enlarge it from 1:100 to 1:87 without too many problems. The price is 20 euros. Leif

    itty bitty pilots

    Hi, Lizzie, Many thanks for posting those images of your figures. They will be something to attempt to emulate. I have recently got into this field, and tried my hand at making 1:87 figures. See this post and following at Kartonbau.de (in English). What is the approximate scale of your...

    De Havilland DH-88 Comet

    Help appreciated Thanks a million Roger! Perhaps a few pointers for the absolute beginner, wanting only to scale, separate and arrange parts on new printing sheets - i.e. not actually drawing anything. Here's what I learned by trial and error so far: 1) Scaling is absolutely no problem...

    De Havilland DH-88 Comet

    Done! It's a done deal. Look out for my money, and many thanks! - Leif PS. (Edited in just an hour afterwards). Got it in the mail already, no codes, no hassle at all. Many thanks, Jan, for excellent service! And I was the first customer, too - timezones sometimes play out to one's...

    Brilliant tool. Newcomers and interested in hole punches may want to compare for some earlier discussions on the subject: + "Very Good Punch Set available here" + "Drill blanks used for punching holes and discs" + "Wheel punch" + "Pounce Wheel Set" It has been a popular subject...

    New of Orlik publishing company - G-40 GLOSTER / 1:33

    This is a very strange coincidence. Previously this evening, I was reading lengthily about the Gloster E28/39 Pioneer (it's got to be the same aircraft, can't explain the different designation other than that the "E" was for "Experimental", which might have changed eventually). The reason...

    Exemplary! Now, the spare tire didn't look too bad to me (by any normal standards it was, of course, fantastic). And the "production run" tires look absolutely stunning. Gil, I'm sure, will point out the extremely good shaping technique of the tire sides. Did you miss telling us that little...

    Kartonowy Fan Magazines Now available

    The one I got once (and lost again, sorry to say) was reviews plus add ons, like the interior parts for the Airacobra. There might have been installments of models (cute trick to make you buy more magazines), but I can't remember for sure. Leif

    Pre-Dreadnought Ting-Yuen 1895

    Good for you, Brad - although there is of course always a case to be made for moderation in all things. Remember the little hint about 600 px width in consideration of people such as myself less endowed with luxurious amounts of screen width... ? Also, it will give you better quality out of your...
