Default Paper airplanes are owesome

I did it, I finally finish up the Hangar in one of the pictures avobe. All I have to do is painted, my favorite thing to do. Thanks anyhow for the offers of coming back to this forum and PS3 network but I guess I want to build some planes for a while. My next project is a replica of the Yorktown USA carrier, it will probably take me a year to build it, as I like to make my stuff from scrach. Though I have use some pre-fabricated kits, I like to make my own stuff. Its really easy and fun too, all I do for my models is find a decent diagram in google like this one. Then I make up the measurement as I go, but sometimes prototipes come out disproportionate, Though, that is not a thing to panic cuz i can always use them as destroy planes, thanks or water i was building during the reenactment. Besides that, most of the times I can catch in time if something is going to come off wrong. If u ask me the most dificult thing to do in scale are german armor vehicles like this one. One reason is that desings are poor, the designs themselves have too many sharp turns and angles of union, etc. But at the end whenever I'm done and take a look at the final product I feel really proud about myself. As of the thing some of u were saying earlier, that sometimes is hard to simply just set ur work in fire, I can relate to that. That's why whenever i'm working on something, I don't just make one, but rather put up an assembly line and take it one part at a time. But kits are good, my firts one was a Hurricane if i recall correctly. I even install an electric motor in the engine compartment so it will spin just like the real thing, though it couldn't fly at all. Unfortunatelly, Hurricane 1 and ace pilot Jame C. Chase died in an air combat against 6 BF 109s [entirely made out of coca cola cardboard an excellect material if u are looking for armor], though, He died greatfully with honor, He shoot every single planes before he went down, I still have what reamins of him in my room. I will post the pictures later. But everything is not always sad, cuz i can always rebuild the hurricane back in shape with new pieces made out of paper from coca cola boxes. But one thing I can't rebuild is Commander James Chase, He died in the cokpit of the plane as it crashed and burned to the ground. Did I mention I also have an standing army of 59 different German soldiers that range from SS to foot soldiers plus allies soldiers 60 also ranging from different ranks, countries, and weapons. I didn't made them aout of paper, but bought them and paint them so they would reflect their rank and weapons. Though there are a few catches. first they all are not WW II soldiers but Vietnam green and brown soldiers. So as you might have imagine, it took me a while to paint every single boot, weapons, helmet, and stuff to basically resemble WW II gear. But at the end I feel proud about my armies. I will also post some picture later. Untils then carry on.
