    Der Glaskasten

    Hi friends. I'm back with a new build thread on a railway subject. This time with a very nice little locomotive I fell in love at first sight. I think all of you have a drawer full of cardmodels you bought impulsively somewhere and put in there waiting for the inspiration to start building them...

    Gonna be famous!

    Dear friends, although my work is keeping me away from active modeling I'm not totally absent. I had the great pleasure to be invited from San Marino national broadcasting service (San Marino RTV) to be testimonial in an episode of the TV show "Passioni: creatività, arte sogno" (Passions...

    My old "500"

    Hi friends. Perhaps some of you are wondering if I'm still alive as I didn't post anything for a long time. The reason is that I am taking a pause from cardmodeling (after a BIG work on my shuttle I needed something different for a while ... but that project is still in progress... I'll deal...

    A crossbow in space - a shuttle side story

    Hi friends, excuse me if I start a separate thread for this little thing that is only a single detail in the Shuttle flight deck I’m building, but this little box is the reason for I choose to represent STS134 mission and not another one. I already talked about this this briefly (in this post)...

    UGEARS locomotive

    I've seen this kit on a web page and it was love at first sight!!! :) I just couldn't resist... I ordered it on Amazon and had it in my mailbox in few days. Now I'm taking a little pause in my paper affairs to deal with this wooden beauty. OK perhaps this is not properly a model, is...

    Historic day for Republic of San Marino

    Yesterday was a very important day for my country, Republic of San Marino. For the first time, in our millenary history, San Marino has two women as Captain Regents. For who doesn't know, the two Captain Regents (Capitani Reggenti) are San Marino Heads of State. They are elected between...

    1:16 Space Shuttle flight deck

    Hi all. I want to share with you my new idea. It's a very complex and ambitious project and, most likely, will keep my attention for a long time, but now that I have started thinkin on it I cannot place my hands on any other model... So, where it all started? As I told you in a previous post I...

    Shuttle interiors: where is it from?

    I've found this blog page jumping from link to link. http://spacepapermodels.blogspot.it/2015/03/sts-interior.html This is definitely a great shuttle paper model (or, at least, a great shuttle cabin paper model). The blog is polish but the language is not a problem with translators... but...

    Modelers meeting in the real world

    Recently I read in @Nando 's Falcon 9 thread he was planning to take part in a contest near Turin, in northern Italy, where he lives. This turned on two bulbs in my brain: 1) it's a LOT of time since I last took part in a modeling contest (and I never did it since I build cardmodels) 2) it would...

    Resin casting: not only for modeling purposes...

    I wasn't sure about where to post this thread. It isn't actually a modeling thread. This is a story that demonstrates how our modeling skills, so much deprecated by our wives, sometimes are useful for purposes they couldn't never imagine!!! First the story: some weeks ago my wife returned home...

    Fiat 508 "Balilla"

    A mutual friend of ours (guess who...?) sent me a beautiful Christmas present... a long-lost cardmodel of an old italian car that was very popular in the years between 1932 and 1937 (when production ceased), the Fiat 508, best known here as "Balilla". He didn't know that this car has a special...

    Millenium Falcon model in the newsstand.

    Italian editor De Agostini is publishing this BIG model that will be in the newsstands for next 100 weeks! It's one of the many StarWars related projects to raise money from the many fans around the world. I just was wondering if anyone knows this model and if it was previously released under...

    CASTEL DEL MONTE, a rocky model.

    Time to get back to work (if time permits... ;)). Please excuse me if, for a while, I'll abandon beloved cardmodels for a totally new (for me) kind of build. Last year, for my birthday, my sons gave me a great present (they know how to make me happy :) ) a construction kit from spanish Aedes...

    What's the real scale of UHU02's LEM?

    Recently I started working to an astronaut I want to add to my LM model. I started from Perdana's astronaut (from Paper Replika) and rescaled it. I've taken the UHU02's PLSS as a reference as this is a piece existing almost identical in both subjects. Now I've an astronaut proportionally scaled...
