Danstream Posted November 8, 2021 Share #122 Posted November 8, 2021 It is an impressive model, masterly assembled. I second the others, it is indeed difficult to guess it is made of paper. This time, you needed not so long to complete it. Years ago, a colleague who worked with Dornier in Friedricshafen gave me a paper model of a Do. X, but I never considered building it. Perhaps I should change my mind. Congratulations, Dan.

I've never built one of their kits, mostly because I like sticking to 1/33 scale, and of course something like one of the Dornier flying boats would be quite large in that scale.

FriedClams Posted November 9, 2021 Share #125 Posted November 9, 2021 Just went through your build log Chris and what a great model this is. Congratulations on its completion. Some of these card models (like yours) are so convincing and impressive in their overall look and feel, that one would never guess it is paper/card. Of course, it is always the modelers skill and care that determine the quality of the final result. You nailed it.
