Paper Redux

Hi.
I used to have a very popular page called Ed Bertschy's Paper Models. All the models were free and many, if not all of them can still be found on the web. Perhaps my most ambitious model was my Paper Steam Engine. Anyway, I had my hands full working for a living. But, now I'm retired, and I'll be able to devote more time to paper modelling again. I've got several new designs I'm working on. I plan to lurk in the background and then start posting some of my new designs.
Ed

Welcome Back Ed,

Yes all of your designs have been very popular, and some still get asked for from time to time

If you need any help, do not hesitate to ask

Rick

Welcome back. Was just looking at your Steam Engine a few days ago and deciding if it should go in the slot for current projects.

Welcome to the site and welcome back.
Your paper model designs are very good and as stated before have been very popular through the years.

Thanks! I've just about finished a new design of a walking beam type steam engine. Not anywhere as complicated as that other steam engine.

Ed, the last time I "saw" you was on the old Smartgroups site. Been a while. It's great to see you're still around and still designing. Welcome back!

Welcome Ed! I'm glad to learn that you have resumed designing your fine paper models. I always admired your unique choice of subjects, graphics and instructions. And I appreciate your generosity in allowing others to host your models over the last few years.

One of the things I missed from your old website was the tribute to Paul Mantz. Your Phoenix is one of my most treasured models (even though cutting out all the holes in the landing gear struts was a challenge), and I still occasionally display it at model shows.

I look forward to seeing your future projects. Hooray!
