Just a sign of life and a photo of a non whiffy.

Hi friends, I haven't been posting stuff here for a while, But just to let you know I am still around. I just am busy keeping myself together in these strange times. I am working on a documentary film, working on my dayjob, helping my GF recovering from a hip replacement, and in the leftover spare moments I sometimes find the time and try to do some paper modeling as well. At the moment I am building a paper Space Shuttle stack in 1/72 and I recently finished Douglas Bader's Spitfire in 1/33 (also in paper, of course). The Spitfire could be built showing off the Merlin engine, which was a model in itself. Here's just one photo, since it isn't a what-if.
It is a big one, however. (-;



Hopefully 'til next time and stay safe everyone.

That's paper?! 
That looks better than some of my attempts in plastic! Did you have to paint and decal that too? Awesome!
Looking forward to the shuttle stack, even if it's not a whiff we appreciate quality!
Tell your GF she has my sympathies. I went through a total hip replacement about two years ago. Not fun.

Hi Kerick, Thanks for the nice words! I didn't have to paint the Spitfire, the printer did that for me. I will show the Shuttle stack when I have finished it.

A Spitfire in paper is a stealth Spitfire, this is what-if!
Congratulations!

  Whether it's real world or Whiffworld  does not matter, we all applaud skill when we see it!!      That spitfire  is magnificent

The Merlin on its own would be 'WHAAAAAAT?' but installed in the Spitfire as well it's totally BOGGLING!

As do I  Seen a fair few incredible paper models in shows on the Continent. It's always seemed to have a far greater following on the Continent then in the British Isles ?

(-: Thanks friends! The silly thing is that when I look at the builds I make I only see all the blemishes and errors I made. I know it kind of looks good from a distance but it still is hard to see it with the eyes of others.
I really needed the compliments I guess, I have been going through some worrisome moments the past months and these replies make me smile again. Thanks.

PAPER?!

Mind. Blown.

Complete Concurrence!

Yup, you're not alone there - it can be hard to accept the compliments when you know the flaws.
Coming to accept compliments is probably a skill in itself...
