Wow, that looks great!
Looks great, Petr!
Beautiful! Did you the struts and undercarriage in wood?
Thank you. I was affraid if paper model will look good next to the official one, but I love it. Especialy because I paid a full atention to made the thickness of all parts to the scale, and that is why it looks and feels more delicate to my eyes. Will see if it will be durable enougth to play with it, though. No wood or other materials on this model, just paper. Struts, undercarridge and edges of the wings are soaked with superglue to withstand the play. Hull has no formers and is stuffed with pieces of paper napkin with PVA glue to make the hull rigid enougth for handling.
Don't we all wish we had your skill!
wow! amazing detail! had you not told us i wouldve thought it 1/48 scale or larger.
Fantastic result, utterly Rep-Worthy!
Rep!

Thank you very much.
Now I will put it to the air and if it proove to be durable enough then some early planes will be next - Fokker E.III and Airco DH.2
That is ridiculously good, I mean, look at the detail... amazing
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Fantastic work.
I wouldn't dare tackle something like that.

That is a thing of beauty! Well done. REP
Another beauty Petr! You do amazing work on these planes.
Zio´s Eindeckers are fine but, while recoloring,I found out that shape of the fuselage seems little off so I decided to make it from scratch. I have 3d model of E.III almost finished. I will post my finished templates here.
I have plans for few more planes to fill gaps after out of stock Ares model in our colection: Morane Saulnier N, Airco DH2, Siemens-Schuckert D.III, Halberstadt D.III, Albatros D.II and Sopwith Triplane.
Rhinoceros for 3d and Photoshop and Illustrator to texture.
Absolutely beautiful work. Impressive!

Peter, the detail on your models is stunning. You should do a “how to” on your excellent D.VII builds. The painting is magnificent.

If these are card models, aren’t they pre-printed?
I do not know exactly what do you mean by pre-printed. They are coloured templates created by Zio Prudenzio. I print it myself.
Berthold was test build, so I did not change much and basicly built it as is, just adding some details to machinegun and engine:
But I edited and retextured Lauman in some areas and add weathering and dirt around the engine and such.
My next plane - Fokker E.III - will be created from scratch, including creation of 3d model, witch will be unfolded and textured to paper template:
That's paper? Wow, that's amazing. Great work.
Hi friends, another Fokker D.VII. I did not want to build another one right now, plenty of other planes to do for my colection. But this is birthday present for fellow player. It is fictional color scheme I made for him. He is musician and it ispired the note theme.

Nice. Are those the notes for the song, "Rat-a-tat-tat" or "Daka daka daka"??
I'm sure he will absolutely love his gift!
That's another wonderful plane, Petr!

Great work Petr !

Thank you very much. Now back to Fokker E.III and IV
Very nice!!! Where did you get the files?
Thanky you. Files for Berthold and Lauman (and few other planes) are here: https://www.kendar.org/zioprudenzio/fok-air.html.
I don't usually look in the Paper Card Models folder, but I am glad I did today. Those models are incredible (in the true sense of the word). I would not have believed that they were paper if I had seen them somewhere else, and not in this thread.
Well done.
Rep coming.
Thank you very much, much appreciated. More planes to come, hopefully
Really fantastic. Probably the best looking models for our game that I've seen. Weathering is perfect. As suggested, l'd love to see some partially completed "in progress" build pics.
I will take step by strep photos with another build. My procedure od D.VII is this:
1.Glue lower wing to the fuselage
2.Glue interplane struts on lower wing with pva glue. Let the pva glue cure a little but not completly, so the struts holds its position, but can by adjusted a bit if needed.
3.Glue upper wing with pva glue. With pva glue you have enough time to line up the wings before the glue sets. Let the pva cure completly.
4.Fix the struts joints with super glue. The wings are now fixed in position.
5.Glue cabane struts one by one with pva glue, adjust its length if neede so both ends of the struts ends in right places
6.Fix cabane struts with super glue. With all struts in place the wings are now firm and withstand handling during the game without problem
Amazing Fokkers D.VII!
These are amazing, I'd quite like a go myself. Where do you buy them from?
Thanky you.
I did not bougth them - Files for Berthold and Lauman (and few other planes) are here: https://www.kendar.org/zioprudenzio/fok-air.html. You can download them for free.
You can buy many other planes on ecardmodels ( https://ecardmodels.com/vendors/scissors-planes for example, they are 1/100 but you can easily scale them down)
I'll take a look now, thank you and keep up the great work.
