Welcome Marcus,

Good to have you here. I really like WW1 aircraft. Everyone seemed to have some very interesting (and sometimes wacky) ideas about what planes should and could do.

Many thanks.
I've been up and running just over a year so far.
There are Mosltly WW1, but I do have a couple of WW2 subjects and one Luft'46 aircraft. There are some freebies on the site that anyone can download. These include an A36 Apache and a Swordfish.

TTFN,

Marcus

Many thanks for the compliments.
Out of interest, how many of you guys are model builders as well as plane buffs?

i make plastic model kits, but not ones like you do............

Horus · 05-23-2004, 10:12 AM

I've made quite a few WW2 stuff. I scratch built a Mistel 1 a few ywars back.
I started model making when I was five, with a kit bought for me by my Uncle. I have built my fair share of Spitfires Mustangs and Me109's. Many of them were hurridly stuck together in an afternoon and test flown on Mum's clothes line that evening.
I got into paper models after a house move and my Wife's prohibition on any more plastic kits. I got interested in the WW1 stuff all over againafter visiting the Shoreham airshow with my dad about 5 years ago and I've got the bug for string and canvass.
TTFN,

Trying to discover ways of virtual modelling but as I know nothing about it & no-one I ask is helpful I'm at a bit of a dead-end currently.

There are several 3d programs that you can use for 3d virtual model making.
Rhino 3d (expensive), Pepuraka(Japenese), Metasequoia (shareware) and a few others.
Metasequoia is avaiable from http://www21.ocn.ne.jp/~mizno/main_e.html
and there are tutorials available at http://trlibrary.tripod.com/id49.htm
There is also an English translation of the manual. Well - most of it at: http://www.spies.com/~palevich/3d/metasequoia/
I hope that's helpful.
