Default Cardboard Models

Hi Guys,
New to RCU and I love the wealth of material. I know it might seem like I'm still in the stone age, but I have been building & designing cardboard models for over 30 years some of which you might have seen as construction articles. All of them are what I would term 'stand-off scale', including WW1 & WW2 configs. If you would like to see photos & construction details, visit http://home.earthlink.net/~charlesfelton and let me hear some comments. Regards, Chuck Felton

Those are cool, I've seen a lot of those in the magazines over the years. I built a replacement fuselage for an Ugly Stick out of cardboard, and it worked good, anytime I get a box big enough made from the right kind of cardboard I stick it in the attic just so I can try some more, now I just need some time. Right now I'm thinkin formers and wing ribs and such, but I may tackle a whole airplane.

Thanks for a great web site, I bookmarked it for future reference.

Thanks for the comments. If you've done a fuselage and plan to do formers and ribs, why not the whole airplane! Sounds like you're almost there. To see what a really skilled modeler can do with cardboard, check out the Macchi C202 & Dewoitine 520 pics made from my plans and built by Fabio and Gabriele Macri of Italy. Gives us all something to shoot for. Chuck

Nice paint on all the planes. It adds so much to the overall presentation/realism. Thanks for posting your work.
