All My Children

[Padre]

Hello, I am new to this forum, came over from other forum. I started into card building about a year and a half ago, I had made small ones over the years but never amounted to anything.
My website: http://www.usswhiteriver.com/
Then I saw the USS Arizona from Digital Navy and had to have it. Ordered it and here is my first "real" build.

[Padre]

Then I went on to build the USS Porter DD356 for a friend who sailed on her and had her sunk out from under him.

[Padre]

From there I build a few warplanes.

[BARX2]

Welcome aboard! Great work. I don't think I have the patience to build ship models (yet). :)

[Padre]

Then some more ships and freebies,

[Padre]

This was my first ship, USS White River, LSMR 536. Modified it and enlarged it from Modini Otter/Natter.

[Padre]

USS Selfridge from Gremir.

[Padre]

A couple of wooden ships

[Clashster]

Great builds, Padre! I really admire your ship work! Not to mention the prolific amount! I have been contemplating the USS Arizona for some time (years). Was it a very difficult build? And how did you like building the USS Selfridge (I keep eyeing Michael's offerings)?

[Padre]

And BTTF Train

[member_3]

Mighty impressive collection there, Padre. I would say the DN Arizona is certainly a 'real' build - I started mine (twice) over a year ago and it's still a 'work in progress'. Welcome aboard - looking forward to more excellent builds from you!

[Padre]

And a couple from Disney

[Padre]

The Arizona was challenging, good detail, and looks good. I have another hull of the Arizona and going to do a better job sometime, put railings on it.
The Selfridge was simple build and looks good, enjoyed building it. Used pins and wire for railings.

[hueydriver]

Nice job, Padre. I, too, build period ships from wood....more modern stuff in card. Where did you get the Bristol Beaufighter from?

Kirk

[Padre]

Beaufigher came from http://www.paperaircraftwerks.com/

[hueydriver]

Thanks, Padre! Great work on the Arizona! I've wanted to tackle her for some time now.

[Padre]

here is a Bugatti (free), got a cigar box (free) with plastic cover to use for a display box. Someday going to put scenery pictures in it.

[rlwhitt]

That's quite an impressive, not to mention varied, collection! Everything looks great! Where do you put it all? :)

[Padre]

Where do you put it all? :)

Trying to figure that one out :rolleyes:

[Fozzy The Bear]

Fantastic collection.... Very nice builds as well.

Good Work Padre. Love the Bugatti.

Best Regards,
Julian (Fozzy The Bear)

[milenio3]

Welcome Padre!

Good to check the result of your hard work.

[cgutzmer]

WOW! Cant wait to see a build thread on a ship. You have some great work there!
Chris

[Padre]

Build thread for USS Selfridge
http://forum.zealot.com/t135411/

USS White River, LSMR 536
http://forum.zealot.com/t146955/

Next build thread will be on this forum.

[Padre]

D-51 Train from Japanese Canon site

[Clashster]

That train is beautiful! Nice job, Padre!

[Padre]

Built this freebie from Digital navy (Roman has some good freebies!)

[Padre]

P-51 Old Crow

[Fozzy The Bear]

Built this freebie from Digital navy (Roman has some good freebies!)

Oh!! That does make a nice model!! I downloaded that when he released it as a freebie and it's been stored away on a CD for a while now. it's a nice looking model. I might have a go at that at twice the size.

Nice build Padre!

Best Regards,
Julian (Fozzy The Bear)

[Don Boose]

Did you encounter any problems with "Old Crow" or have any advice for other builders, Padre?

There is a build thread for a 1/72d "Old Crow" by Elger Esterle on the Kartonmodell Forum: http://www.kartonmodell-forum.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=3863

It would be interesting to also have a double-sized version from you, Julian.

Don B.

[Padre]

No problems, easy build, diagrams easy to follow, good fit.

[Padre]

Added a few more while taking a break from the Repulse and waiting for the U-Boat Type VIIc by Kooklik. This is the Yokosuka Judy from Inwald Card Models. A free model that is very detailed but directions are hard to follow. All flaps can be made movable and a bomb recess can be added. Used Avery labels (full sheet) for canopies which made it easier.

[Padre]

am reducing my models by 25% to 50% so that I have room for them. Some that I have built previously I have given as gifts or presents to others so that I can make more room. I made this P-47d before but reduced by 25%. The canopy is a little smushed.

[dansls1]

Very nice build Padre! The Judy is on my build list (my huge build list) for sure!

[Padre]

Built this free M-33 from Kartonmodel Forum.

[Padre]

Also rebuilt this P-40, reduced by 25%

[Padre]

This free Civil War Sub.

[Padre]

This Lens Head robot is also free, there are other robots that are free on the same site. They have movable parts.

[Don Boose]

I'm constantly astonished at the speed and skill with which you build and the variety of models. I recall reading some of the discussion about that Yokosuka Judy. Yours is a really beautiful model. I appreciate your sharing all your children with us.

Don

[member_3]

This volume and quality of production makes me wonder if you have a little divine intervention in your toolbox! ;) That's a great collection!

[B-Manic]

Very nice. Great builds. I built the Lens head for my daughter some time ago, she loves robots. I could not get the build to work as posable. No fault of the design, just my skill level.

[APA-168]

Excellent work, I am so jealous of you knowing someone who sailed an early tin-can!

[Padre]

I sailed on the USS Merick, AKA 97 among my many ships.

[APA-168]

That's really neat too. What years were you aboard?

[Padre]

Hard to remember that far back, 1968-70 I think.

[Padre]

a couple of new additions, free models from http://www.navarin.ru/page_info.php/pages_id/1

[Padre]

Japanese theme shadow box pictures from http://cp.c-ij.com/japan/art/

[Don Boose]

You are indeed a man of many talents. Did you just build the Bf-109 and the M-2? If so, I envy your speed and precision.

Don

[Padre]

Retired, compulsive, stubborn, old guy is all.

[member_3]

Aha - another RCSOG! Perhaps we should form a club! ;)

[Padre]

1915 card model of Kaiser Wilhelm II, free at Kartonmodell-Forum | Portal (http://www.kartonmodell-forum.org/forum/)
Used build thread on same site to make this. Parts printed VERY close together on this and had to print twice, also printing twice allowed me to cover both sides of some parts so that it was printed on both sides.

[Padre]

A origami build of a swan I did a long time ago, from a very good origami book.

[Padre]

I am a proud member of

[Don Boose]

You are a many of incredible and diverse talents, Padre.

Don

[Padre]

Thanks from a Retired, Compulsive, stubborn, Old Guy.

[Padre]

The ship I was stationed on was an LSMR, Landing Ship Medium Rocket. An LSM converted to a rocket ship. Firepower of a battleship at close range, speed of a snail. Rockets equal to 3" shell, 5" shell and 8" shell. Smallest ship with a 5" gun on it, two 40 twin mounts and 8 rocket launchers capable of 240 rockets a minute. Carried 5000 rockets.

A few recent additions to my works. From Canon Japanese site.

[Don Boose]

Very nice Tanuki and Shichifukujin! Brings back a lot of memories of Japan.

Don

[pahorace]

Hello Padre,
You have a collection of paper models really vast and various kinds.
I imagine you, a manufacturer of models of great dexterity and especially fast!

I envy you, because I am very slow. :mad:
Regards.

Orazio

[Padre]

New additions to "Children".

Bird in tree from Canon

[Padre]

Eagle from Canon

[Padre]

Japanese farm house, forgot where I got this.

[Padre]

Disney rocket from Kartonmodell-Forum

[Padre]

Panzer Tank

[Padre]

Cripes A Mighty by E. Zarkov

[Don Boose]

You have a wonderful and varied collection, Terry. You seem to cover just about every aspect of paper modeling.

The eagle is magnificant!

Don

[outersketcher]

My favorite is the bird in tree model you have there...

David

[Ashrunner]

Padre

That Eagle looks absolutely fantastic. Did you enlarge it?

[Padre]

no enlargement on eagle, size as Canon made it, almost 2 feet across. I usually make my models smaller by 25-50% as space is limited. My relatives are getting tired of my "gifts"!

[willygoat]

Those look amazing Padre. I love the P-51. It's one of the cleanest builds I've seen of that plane:D

[Padre]

Kawanishi H8K2. Did not realize it was this small when I printed it. Neat little build anyway, could be enlarged with detail it has and still look good. Cockpit can be seen through little windows.

[willygoat]

That's a great sea plane Padre! My big fingers could work that small. :p

[Don Boose]

I have this one, but never had the nerve to try it.

You did a great job in this miniscule scale, Terry!

Don

[Padre]

A recent addition to my collection, reduced by 25% as usual. Bavarian by CFM.

[Padre]

Also finished WAK P-38. Had problems with this one, my fault. I used to tick a paper and formers, I did not read /follow directions well (a fault I have had all my life) and screwed up the magazine cases. Finally I did not puts weights in the nose so that it is tail heavy. Also reduced by 25%

[KCStephens]

Even with your misfortunes it still turned out to be a very nice model. Nice Job

[willygoat]

Models look great Padre! I really like the P-38. Very unique display configuration.

[dansls1]

Very nice models as always Padre, thanks for sharing ;)

[Padre]

1/32 (reduced by 25%) Chance Bought XF5U-1 Flying Pancake. Pretty easy build and looks good when finished. Took about a week of leisurely building.

[willygoat]

That thing's great Padre!!....anyone seen the syrup? I'm getting hungry :p

[Padre]

Recent addition to my fleet. SS Jeremiah O'Brian. Reduced as usual, I am going to have to try a full size build one of these days, getting tired of small details (usually skipped if can't see).

[Don Boose]

Excellent work, as always, Terry! I do like the old Maritime Commission types!

Don

[jparker3119]

Sure is going to look good on my book shelf!!!! Thanks!!!

[willygoat]

Wowee Padre! Nice work. That rigging is impressive :D

[Padre]

Just finished a "clean" build of GPM's Sherman tank. I now plan to put all the "extras" on it and make it look "cluttered". Also 25% smaller than as sent in booklet.

[willygoat]

Wowee! That is great Padre. Can't wait to see it detailed.

[Don Boose]

Your productivity and the quality of your models are amazing!

Don

[Zathros]

Did you clone yourself or something. You are one of the most prolific builders I have ever seen. You and Billy Levifield (sp?) are incredible. That tank is just awesome!

[dansls1]

Very nice! As others have said, you manage to push out some very nice models in a very short time.

[redhorse]

I love the variety of your models too. It's good to see another one!

[Padre]

The Sherman (GPM) with clutter. I did not put as much as the booklet pictures show or that the model has available. I did not want the clutter to over shadow the tank. I used wrapping paper and cotton to make the sand bags, then use a broad tip gray marker to color them.

[Barry]

Wonderful job padre

[Padre]

ModelArt JU-88 A4. Reduced25%. Nice model, Canopy came out better than I thought I could do (I hate canopies, some turn out ok-some not). Canopies can really make the model if they turn out ok. Still working on models everyone gave me (I told them what I wanted) and now more for this Christmas!! So many models-SOOOOOOOO little time!!.

[redhorse]

That's a great looking plane!

[willygoat]

Holy moly that things is awesome! It blows my Ju-88 out of the water:D

[Padre]

Thanks, pictures show it off better than reality.

[willygoat]

Did you have much difficulty with the canopy? When I did mine it was a real bugger.

[Padre]

It was easier than I thought. I used full sheet label (peel off sticky) and printed the canopies, stuck them to term paper protectors, after cutting out the windows. Then used canopy glue to glue another printed canopy printout to it. Wiped off excess and then glued together. I will enclose pictures of process next time I make a canopy. Only if it turns out ok.

[Padre]

A few new additions to my collection.
Modelik M-35

[Padre]

And Modelik PX-29 (Thanks to my family and friends for Christmas and Birthday presents and many more to work on).

[Don Boose]

You sure build 'em fast and good, Terry!

Don

[Barry]

You build faster than I can write a comment it's a great collection

[Padre]

Retired, compulsive, one track mind, etc. Thanks.

[ct ertz]

Wow great work! How many guns dose a JU88 hav anyhow. Only three crew I thought? They must of workd like crazy to man all those!

[Padre]

It had 5 guns and 3 crew, some variants had only 3 or 4 guns. They added another crewmember later as it was found that they needed more hands to do everything needed.
4: pilot, navigator/gunner, 2 gunners

[birder]

Nice Padre, fun and variety of topics all look great!:)

[Padre]

Saw this Ricksha on Kartonist.de | Bauberichte | Auto Rickshaw Bajaj (23/01/09 finished) (http://www.kartonist.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=2047), it is from paper-replika.com. I had to build it.

[Padre]

In the thread http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/ships-watercraft/1738-digital-navy-uss-arizona-1-100-a-19.html I said I would try to find a model of the USS Arizona displaye at Sky Harbor Airport from the '60s to maybe the early 80s. I have not found it yet but along with it was the USS Phoenix, which I did find.

[Padre]

There was a scale model of the USS Arizona at the State Capitol Museum, not the one I was looking for though. There is also some of the silver ware used on the Arizona.

[eibwarrior]

Wow Padre, nice Arizona.

The Phoenix is phenomenal. Where is it currently displayed? I want to put that on my tourist list...

[Padre]

The model is now being displayed at the Phoenix Museum of History, 105 North 5th Street, Phoenix, Arizona (602) 253-2734.

Also go to the Arizona Capitol Museum at the capitol building, a nice model of the Arizona and other artifacts from the ship.

[Padre]

Some cars from Canon. Took a break from heavy builds to do some simple ones. Putting in an order from GPM and maybe do a build on the USS Phoenix (USS Helena).

[cgutzmer]

Those are raelly nice models :) good work on them :)
Chris

[Don Boose]

Excellent, Padre. Your speed of construction and the high quality of your finished models are astounding.

Don

[dansls1]

Great looking models ;)

[cdavenport]

Nice to see you here, Padre.

[whulsey]

Wow you got those cars done quick. I've barely got around to downloading the files. They look good. I need to go check out the History Museum sometime.

[Padre]

A friend came back from Japan and brought me this, ?????? ???????? ???? samurai,s yoroi katchu kabuto katana card model paper craft (http://www.yoroikatchu.com)

[Don Boose]

That's a beautiful set of armor, Padre.

Your collection of builds is very diverse!

Don

[Padre]

Just finished the Strazak-3 from my kids got me. Awaiting the USS Helena from GPM and will start a build thread on it as the USS Phoenix.

[Barry]

Interesting subject and another great build Padre

[whulsey]

Really like the armor. The Phoenix Art Museum has some great samurai armor, but they rotate it in and out of storage so you never know which (if any) they will have displayed.

[Padre]

Just finished the Jupiter while awaiting parts for the Phoenix. Reduced as usual as you can tell from the pictures.

[Retired_for_now]

Just beautiful Padre - outstanding work!

Yogi

[Clashster]

Beautiful! Love loco models.... Great work!

[Barry]

It looked difficult full size !!! great job

[redhorse]

I'd been wanting to see this one built. It looks really good!

[KCStephens]

Some cars from Canon.

Hey, Padre, those cars from Canon are very nice. Did you down size or print at 100%? Also, what type of stock did you use?...I know Canon recommends using a matte photo paper.

[Padre]

printed size as they came, no change. Used 110lb card stock.

[Padre]

Some new additions to my crowded display case.

[Bomarc]

You're a building machine sir. They all look wonderful Padre, really great builds!

Mike

[Don Boose]

They're all beautiful, Padre. Especially the Black Widow, and the Pretty Pete, and the Hellcat, and . . .

[pahorace]

Hi,
a large collection of children. All well made and well kept!
... But those are all your children?
I envy your ability to produce models, that I will never have.

Orazio

[Padre]

B-24, P-51B (ecardmodels), P-47 (Gremir), Tinkerbell

Thanks to all kind comments.

[bagpiper]

what a wonderful and diverse set of models you have Padre. Many thanks indeed for sharing your huge collection with us.

Cheers
Jim

[Barry]

Nice work Padre

[airdave]

very nice Mister Padre

see how I threw in the Mister part? just because I see one of my models in the bunch!

can I alert ecardmodels to those pics of Old Crow, maybe for the store listing?
I did a little Gamma reduction and sharpened the pics, see below,
...can I save and use them for the store?

[Padre]

Sure, go ahead and use them.

[cgutzmer]

thanks man :)

[Padre]

Going to update some builds I have done. First to show why I reduce almost all the models I build. Limited SPACE!

Chris

[Barry]

Great collection Padre

[GreMir]

Wow!
Pretty amazing collection.

[Don Boose]

As Mike Krol said, Wow! And as Mike (Bomarc) has previously said, "You are a building machine, Sir!"

It will take me a while to absorb all these superb models. Your skill, range of subjects, and productivity are all incredible, Padre.

Great to have the chance to see your latest models.

Don

[silveroxide]

You have been very prolific Padre, with a great selection of choice builds. All very well done.

[Padre]

:)Thanks all!

[Padre]

[Barry]

Yet another great model for the collection Padre

[Padre]

another view

[Padre]

GreMir C6N1 Saiun from 1/33 to 1/43. Had a little trouble with this one, canopy is not as neat as I would like and had to work on the fuselage to get it to work. I guess I should learn to read and FOLLOW directions better!

[Don Boose]

These recent Japanese aircraft look terrific, Terry!

Don

[Texman]

I guess I should learn to read and FOLLOW directions better!

What, they come with instructions? I say read'em only as a last resort. And your not there yet.

[Padre]

GreMir Ki-44 IIc Shoki 1-33 reduced to 1-43. Had problems making the wing on this one, took about 3 times and had problems still with the wheel wells.

[Padre]

GreMir A6M2-N Rufe from 1:33 to 1:44

[Retired_for_now]

And as the grass grows - Padre adds another wonderful model to the collection ...

Yogi

[Padre]

GreMir IJN Suzuya 1:200. Model is well designed with lots of detail (small). I did not do a detail build but it looks good enough for me.

[Don Boose]

Looks terrific, Padre. You build them fast and very very good.

Don

[Padre]

Building a ship is equal to about 4-6 airplanes and takes up about the same amount of LIMITED space.

[MrMidwayMan]

ModelArt JU-88 A4. Reduced25%. Nice model, Canopy came out better than I thought I could do (I hate canopies, some turn out ok-some not). Canopies can really make the model if they turn out ok. Still working on models everyone gave me (I told them what I wanted) and now more for this Christmas!! So many models-SOOOOOOOO little time!!. That really is way better than my trostiky(spellcheck?) one(That my cat sat on and destroyed...:confused:)!

[Padre]

IJN Nisshin Angraf model. Not finished yet, have some detail to finish.

[Padre]

GPM Junkers JU-52, reduced by half+.

Great to see you over here, Padre!

[Tom Lapinski]

Padre, outstanding collection and terrific work.

[Don Boose]

Great additions to your collection, Padre! Lots to see here. I am always amazed at your productivity the range of your paper modelling interests, and the veryhigh quality of all of your models, by land, sea, and air.

Have a great Navy Day!

[Padre]

B-25 Mitchell from Doolittle raiders (Ecardmodels.com). Reduced

[cmdr199212]

Wow. Here I am trying to do a build in a little over two weeks, and I think I'm rushed.. great builds!!! I wish I could build my stuff a little smaller so I can store it.. I just love building big though!! Again, great models!!

[Padre]

I looked at yours and they are very good too! I built a few in a large size and had nowhere to put them.

[Wyvern]

Fantastic work, Padre!

Wyvern

[Firewing]

Greetings.

Congratulations magnificent collection:)

[ashevilleangler]

Padre, somehow I managed to miss this amazing thread. Shows what can be done when one is willing to get busy and stay that way.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful work!

Curt

[ct ertz]

Wow! And thank you for linking some sites as well. I got some I missed before. Not sure when I will be able to build but at least I have them!

If you ever decide to do a Civil War Gun Boat give me a yell, I'll be proud to set you up with what ever you want.

CT

[Padre]

Haven't tried a Civil War boat yet, looked at your designs on Ecardmodels and might order one next time. They sure look good.

[ultra]

these are great

you are a very talented modeler why don't you make more land stuff (you know tanks ifvs and stuff like that )

[Don Boose]

Those are great new additions to your vast collection, Terry!

Don

[3Turner]

Looking great Padre!!

GPM Skyhawk
I do think though...this one is the McDonnell F3H Demon ;)

Kampfflieger F-100D Super Sabre
Where did you get this one from? I didn't see it over on his website or Ecards.

[Padre]

You are correct 3Turner, my mistake. It is the Card Model Demon.

The F-100 I have had for a long time and found it on my computer. Either I bought it or got it for a present. I think it came from DeWayne Barnett's old site.

[Retired_for_now]

They just keep getting better - nicely done!

Yogi

[Padre]

WAK model USS Salt Lake City, CA-25. 1:200.

[Don Boose]

Beautiful work! I love those treaty cruisers and always enjoy seeing your models.

Don

[Inky]

Beautiful build Padre. Love seeing your wonderful builds.

I am about to jump into building the USS Arizona, hope mine turns out as beautiful as yours.

[Padre]

UHU02's Time Machine. The "tubes" took the most time and effort.
I am also working on GPM USS Missouri 1:200.....A very Big model!

[Vermin_King]

Beautiful model, nicely done. The miniature Persian rug is a nice Victorian touch.

[whulsey]

Hey great job on The Time Machine. Be looking forward to the Big Mo!

[Padre]

Build of USS Alaska from GPM. Not as detailed as the GPM USS Missouri and the colors of parts bled over the lines so cutting was challenging.

[retunga]

Cool good to see the USS Missouri is now complete, well done !!!

[Vermin_King]

You certainly have a very attractive collection. Thanks for sharing

[Don Boose]

I always thought Alaska and Guam were especially beautiful ships.

Your model is a work of art.

Don
