  1. Boy, that's looking great, Peter. I wish my skills were up to your level! I really like your idea of doping the paper, both for the protection and for allowing CA glues. Does the doping interfere at all with water-based glues ro do you just use CA's? Chris
  2. I've just finished this one, so it doesn't really count, but I thought it might be OK to show it here. This is a paper model of Lt. Ralph Hofer's P-51b wearing invasion stripes. It's a kit designed by Marek and repainted by Dave Winfield as part of his "Aces of Ecardmodels" participation. This is a kit that was originally designed for 1:50 and enlarged (by Dave) to 1:33. The canopy proved to be a bit of a challenge. I form most of my canopies now just by heating plastic and pulling it over a form. This is a B&W copy of the paper canopy included with the kit. I filled it with polyclay and then baked it to create the form. Dave has also created a nice interior kit as a separate addition. I think it's nicely designed and really helps the model. This is not the easiest paper model to build. There are several fit issues in the original kit. But it does build up to a decent paper model in the end and I really love the job Dave did on the recolor This was a bit of a frustrating build, but enjoyable overall. Chris
