Hello

It's been a while since I built a paper model. But I saw Design Group Alpha's new Turbo Beaver model on a facebook group. So I did some googling, one thing led to another and now I'm here.

I'm most specifically here to request/commission some airplane models for the newly FAA-Accredited SARC (Sport Air Race Council). I think paper craft models will be a great way to interact and engage with fans at our air show and air racing events.

Cardodeps make an excellent "promotional tool", welcome to the forum..

Interesting. I see some Vans RVs in your photos.

Aaron Murphy is really good at 3D designing.

He did a quick design build of a paint job I was working on for my RV-6. The model itself is incredible!

He is a member here.

All my designs are 2D turned into 3d models. They all fly. They are not to scale. Have up-loaded a few designs to the download section here. Rubber Band Catapult launch type and a hand launch glider SR71 Habu (Blackbird).

Oh flying models would be very cool too.

I am looking for a Lancair Legacy, Glassair III, and the various RV models.
I also do have a 3D CAD model for the Lancair, if that is useful for these kinds of things.

Once I had a kit I should be able to photoshop all the paintschemes myself. Just need some help on the kits.

Flying models would be cool. Would be happy to work something out with you. And thanks for the note to Aaron Murphy. I found his website and have reached out to him as well.

Sorry I can't help you with your project, but welcome from the UK nevertheless.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to take commissions at the moment. At least until my day job decides that six 12-hour days a week aren't needed anymore. It's only been 3 years so far. Designing a model takes weeks, and building them... I've been working on the same B-26 for weeks now and don't even have the wings on it yet.

If anybody can get ahold of Nobi, he'd do a better job than I would.
