I have not worked with this museum in the past, but I have sent numerous models to other museums.
I need to ship a float plane model to the Yukon next. I will photo the packaging when I do so.
a model U-1A Otter

- Start date
Papaace, The skis are now available as a free download at the www.dgapapermodels.com site under the 'Free Stuff' page. I will make instructions for the skis sometime, but you can probably figure them out without instructions:mrgreen:
Big Daddy
Presently the Otter model is available in two civil Canadian floatplane versions: Air Saguenay and Trans North.
In the very near future eight more liveries will be appearing:mrgreen:
I have recently been inspired to make more US ARMY versions by a former Army otter driver. Presently I am working on a model of a plane that served with the 54th Utility Airplane Company (call sign 'Big Daddy'). If anyone here has reference to the 54th - now is the time to share.

Army Otter debut
Three US Army Otter models will be introduced at the Army Heritage Days festival in Carlisle, PA on the 15th, and 16th, of May. After that I will have the models released at ecardmodels.com
If you live in the area, I am told that this is quite the good time - I think you should plan on attending. :thumb:

I just read this thread and must say that you have done a fine job throughout - Great design - Great Plane - Great workmanship :thumb:
That is a great idea for a former, well done sir. Clean model too, looks good, even for a 4 hour test build. Cheers
How long ago did I promise to show how I pack models for shipment? Finally I remembered to shoot pictures of one before I sealed the box!
I stretch rubber bands diagonally across a shipping box and I tie the model to those rubber bands:
The note instructs the recipient to cut the rubber bands to remove the model from the box.
To secure the rubber bands at the corners, I poke a hole through the box, send through the end of the rubber band and keep it there using a toothpick. Finally I tape over the toothpick so it will be secure while traveling:
I calculate the height of the rubber band supports so that the model will ´fly´ suspended in the middle of the box. I have had great luck with this method of packing.
