That Fokker D VII is almost unbelievable - and in paper too! If I tried that I would end with a crumpled mess!!

Excellent models, all!  But, George, your paper work is beyond belief!  I love that Bebe.  Even under close examination, it looks for all the world like a superbly constructed and painted Eduard kit.  Truly amazing!
Cheers,
Bud

Thats some realistic painting George,it might look like a spatch cock chicken but you can see the potential for  very realistic bird.

Thanks, but I have to ask, what is a "spatch cock chicken"?

Beautiful paper model George.  What do you need computer/printer-wise in order to successfully download and print these kits?  I checked out the E-Card website, and most apperar to be download models.  I assume that proficiency with Photoshop would be necessary to get the colors right in some cases, and generally helpful in tweeking things in any event.  Are you aware of any good guides or tutorials for building these WWI paper kits? 

Regards,

Bob

Hi George,its when you remove some of the bones,so that you can flatten out the chicken.

Thanks, Bob!

Most computers and ink jet printers will do a great job printing these kits. Don't use a laser printer because the ink will flake off when the parts are folded or rolled.

There is a great forum called papermodelers.com that has all the expert info you will ever need. It's sort of like this forum with a great group of modelers all willing to share their work and help out those who are new at it, except it focuses only on paper models of every type, not only WW1 aircraft. The site even has a section with free downloadable kits to print and build. A lot of them are quite nice!

Also check out the work of some of our forum members in our Paper Model section. I think most of these members are also from the papermodelers forum.
