Hi Jan,
Wow!
Lots of questions are forming. Can you list each of the models and their source? What weight paper/card did you use? How do you keep the flimsy structured craft together? I tried this on a DH2 and it collapsed under its own weight. It needed internal strengthening with wire! How did you achieve the rigging?
I could go on forever but will stop now. I am in awe.

The sources of the models are : DGA , Fiddlersgreen , Lad and Dad , Rennesson(free Potez60) , Creative Contour , ...
150 or 160 gr/m2 paper
No internal strengthening needed due to the small size and the strong paper
Rigging with very fine cotton thread(for gloves)

Small model does not need the structure but if you put some simple paper reenforcement into the inside of the wing, rudder, or some other parts. It will be stronger and capable to load some heavy weapon like bomb, fuel tank, missile.

Reenforcement of paper is needed if you need high quality of airplane paper models.

This will be perfect method if you have to paint the color on it, it will not bent!

I am amazed at your collection, humbled by your skill, and inspired to keep on building.

Wow, impressive. I can see the advantages of doing a collection in small scale....its I just don't think I could see to build them.

Unbelievable! They're all so tiny! At first I thought you'd upscaled the Diamant, but then I saw the hand and realised that all the others had been downscaled! Also, is that a 2CV with wings?????

Yes it is.
It was a joke for the first of April with the parts of the Taylor's flying aerocar (real) of fiddlersgreen.

I thought that the Talyor Aero car looked suspect. Very nice mod.

If it had been April 1st now I would have thought the whole God's Hand pic thing was an April Fool joke!!!

Once again, my sincerest admiration for this marvellous collection!
