Paper Models

Hi All...

I got involved with paper models about 4 years ago when I found and built Ed's working paper model of a steam engine!

It's available from his site....

I built a few and then of course I had to try building my own from scratch. This was the result of one of those endevours!

The Avro Arrow model is available form my site, here:

Should warn you that paper modelling can be VERY addictive!! Nice forum you have here and glad to meet you all!

Now we have working paper models!!

This area of modelling never fails to surprise me.

Howdy Bill, Bunker,

And here I was gonna give them the link to the avro arrow tomorrow lol. Well, who better to give them the link to the model than the designer.
Yes bunker, there are lots of "functioning" models too, the steam engine is one, there are models of woodpeckers on trees that "peck" when you turn a crank, there are all sorts of models that move or have moving parts.
In the week or two that I have been posting cardmodels, I have not even scratched the surface of the freenies availible out there.
Bill, were you the designer of the generator? or the pack of cigarettes? If not, do you remember who was?

have a good day,

Hi Greg...

Ya the generator was mine!

That one came about because I wanted to display the steam engine actually running. The "generator" has a little motor conceilled inside it so it can drive the engine! As long as you don't think about it, the steam engine is "driving" the generator! http://www.angelfire.com/empire/auct...-ENGINE-2.html

The pack of smokes too...

That happened because I was trying to "reduce" my smoking!! LOL

Then there was the deep freeze!!

That was presented to my daughter, along with a gift certificate for the real thing, as a Christmas present!! MUCH easier to wrap.... and a lot easier on my back!!!

And of course there was the jeep!

...just to see if I could build something that small!

@Bunker...

How about this for a "working" paper model!!

Thanks for the link Bill. We discussed this very model on here a few months ago but I don't think anyone caught enough fly's to get one off the ground!!
