A Win for Paper Models
Three wins, actually. The Winnebago Auto Modelers Club held its annual Winnebago Area Modelers Classic contest and swap meet November 5, 2022 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I decided to take several scale paper models -- some WWII aircraft, a u-boat, and a couple of Apollo spacecraft that I have built from paper kits.
There was no category for paper models, so I would be competing in categories for all media -- plastic, resin, wood, whatever. Before and during the show, I told several friends that competing paper against plastic was probably a lost cause, and I didn't expect to win any awards. But, at least, people attending the meet would get a taste of what can be accomplished in paper. There were eight judges, and each judge chose his favorite model among all the models entered. And everyone at the show voted on their five favorite models with an award to each of the top seven vote-getters. Much to my surprise, by 1/35-scale Lunar Excursion Module (Uhu02) received both a Judge's Award and a Top Seven Award. Uh02 released the kit in 1/48 scale; I enlarged it to 1/35. And my 1/12 Apollo Command Module (Ken West) and Service Module (scratch built) won "Best of Show" for the most votes from everyone in attendance. I guess I made my point.

Hi I asked this question earlier, but looking at starting the lunar lander and wish to enlarge i also, can you help me with how you did it? larger the better as i find it hard to build tiny pieces and this kit has a lot. thanks Peter
