2; Ms europa from schreiber-still my favorite which i rebuild every couple of years
3;Uss forrestal from wilhemshaven model-got me into carriers and i will build it again someday as i left mine in uk


Soooo what were your first three models

  1. Fiddlersgreen.net Curtiss SB2C Helldiver.
  2. Fiddlersgreen.net Fokker DR. I Triplane
  3. Fiddlersgreen.net Sopwith Camel
Is it obvious I like Fiddlersgreen models?

A set of 7 polyhedra to look like D&D dice
A covered boat with a duck prow
A stone arch

Most of my first models were various polyhedra and geodesic domes.

My first paper model was the Prague Castle (the older edition). Brave first move. ;-) I still have the model hanging on the wall. I built it round 1988 or so.

My first paper models were the Lone Ranger Town buildings about 1948.
They were printed on the Cheerios boxes.
You could send a box top and a dime to Cheerios and get the map for Frontier Town.
