Hello from Indiana
« on: January 23, 2015, 02:26:53 PM »
Hello;

I used to build and chase stick and paper Free Flight gliders and rubber powered aircraft (Coup d'Hiver) all over northern Indiana when in my 20s and 30s.

Then work and family occupied my time until about 12 years ago when I discovered paper modeling, and am still at it.

I learned about ww1aircraftmodels.com through the Papermodelers.com forum, where I am a member.

Looking around at the photos here, I am amazed and impressed with the quality of the work I see. I am also delighted to see that there is much I can learn by studying the photos and tutorials here, and I look forward to spending some time exploring the website.
