Well, I think it's safe to say that you are turning those scraps into something substantially more valuable!

First of all, hello and welcome to MSW! Second, you have selected an excellent kit for beginners -- many have selected this as a first project, as you can see by clicking here. Lastly, I hope you will not mind that I have tagged your log as a first build; this serves a two-fold purpose by alerting our members to newbie builders who may need an extra dose of encouragement, and it also helps similar newcomers to the hobby to see what other first-time modelers are building. Good luck on your project!

Anyone out there working on a card model?
ccoyle replied to gagliano1770's topic in Card and Paper Models
I just wanted to give another shout-out somewhere to WAK (https://www.wak.pl/). I placed an order on 4 Feb and got it today, eleven days later, which is pretty lickety-darn-split for an order crossing the pond from Poland -- I usually don't get my hopes up when checking the mailbox until at least three weeks have transpired. The order came perfectly packaged, and WAK's shipping rates are unbeatable ($13.41 for three kits, five sets of laser-cut frames, and three canopies). In addition to being sold through WAK's online shop, the three kits I purchased are also published by WAK. These are the first of their kits I have obtained, and my initial impressions of them are very favorable. I may do a write-up of them later in the "what have you received" thread. -
I can't answer the first question, but you should definitely drill and pin them.

I'm quite certain that Giampiero intended no slight by his comment. Speaking as one who is well acquainted with the difficulty of expressing nuanced opinions in a foreign language, I tend to give non-native English speakers a great deal of benefit of the doubt before reading motive into their messages.

I used to live near the Mendocino Triple Junction in Northern California. We had quakes all the time. But since I moved away from Southern California (still awaiting the "big one") in 2003, I've only ever lived in seismically quiet areas. Haven't felt a quake in twenty years now -- seems strange when i think about it.

That's a beautiful result, Melissa, and is certain to catch the eye of any visitors to your home!

Bruce, some photos will attract more potential buyers.

I have the Halinski kit in the same winter camo. Actually, it's my second copy of the kit, cuz I boogered the first one. It's a challenge I don't feel quite up to yet.

Great job on one of my favorite airplanes!

Yep, sorry to say, but in the absence of any documented provenance for your model, it is extremely unlikely that it is a 120-year-old, one-off, scratch build. It may have been owned by your great-grandfather, as that possibility certainly fits the timescale, but the model itself is typical of the sort that were mass-produced in various parts of Europe during the first decades of the 20th century. That doesn't necessarily mean that it has no value. If it has been in your family for a long time, then it certainly has sentimental value, which shouldn't be discounted. Beyond that, though, any monetary value it might have depends on a number of factors, such as exact age, date of production, and whether it is a well-preserved example of the genera. Even if you know all of those things, there's still no guarantee of value -- that particular determination can only be made by a knowledgeable nautical antiques dealer.

Looks convincing to me.

You can say that again! I always tell people that the problem with do it yourself projects is that when I finish one, it looks like I did it myself! 🙄

I had a similar experience years ago with resolving a worker's compensation claim. Such things do certainly try one's patience.

Such a sharp-looking vessel -- it would have been nice to see pictures. But, I hope your coworker enjoys it for years to come. Cheers!
