Thanks - that was the original inspiration, after seeing some large scale seaplane models executed in sheet metal, which turned them into beautiful sculptural objects. Instead of imprinting on little red cars, when I was a kid, I guess I always had a thing for silver seaplanes.
Mauri - it may be worth a pilgrimage to Meersburg in Bavaria to visit Dornier's house and museum. They might still have the models, and in any event, it is just next door to the old (and new) Zeppelin and Dornier works on Lake Constanz. Cheers

Beautiful models, Rob! I remember when you brought a multitude of silver paper model airplanes to one of the IPMCs a few years ago. But these flying boats are above and beyond!

Don, Rob, et al,
Here are two pictures to document Rob's proclivities towards silver paper. It was IPMC 2003
