Hi All,
And hi, RRLittle. Tom and I are happy to help. The Papermodelers site is a civilized corner in an often nasty media arena. The ladies and gentlemen who post here enjoy doing what we can to promote our singular pastime. Butelcznski, I believe the tails were removed from the FTs so that they would be more nimble in the ancient streets of Spanish cities. As they weren't available in numbers, I'm guessing they were used more in the role of up-armored, armored cars rather than tanks in the field. To that end, I think the gun in the Tanque's turret represents a machine gun, not a cannon. And missileer, I have a few projects on my shelf that have been waiting 35 years or more for someone to come along and finish them. They don't haunt me, but they have been pushed to the back of the shelf where I rarely see them. Score and fold, Thumb Dog |

Thank you for all these wonderful models, Thumb Dog! I am currently in the process of assembling a folder with everything of my own collection! By chance, you haven't come across or heard of any 3D soldier models of the civil war have you?

Hi All,
And hi, stef1793, and thanks for visiting my propaganda thread and for your positive comments. Sorry to say I don’t rccall seeing any 3-D paper Civil War soldiers, either vintage or modern. I have seen some old 3-D soldiers from Tom Greensfelder’s collection, but as these were European models, they portrayed European soldiers. Flats, or 2-D paper soldiers are plentiful and the more modern versions can be quite striking. Also, coloring books that show Civil War soldiers might be of interest, too. The line drawings in the coloring books could be scanned, colored in the computer, printed out and built as flat models. Their enlarged size would make impressive figures. Thanks again and best of luck in your search, Score and fold, Thumb Dog |
