Jay Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Very nice. I have a 1/32 scale paper model of a catalina!!!!??? sitting somewhere in the stash, waiting to be done. I doubt whether it will ever see the light of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian1 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That's amazing - I've never seen a paper model made up before and had no idea it could be made to look so real. It must have been very difficult - nice job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCRanger Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I was pointed in this direction by some one who knows my interest in the Swordfish. Glad I made the effort as I'm impressed especially as paper is an unusual medium - plus the fact that I haven't made models for years. I'll be back to see any other pics you post.

allok Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks for all the great comments everyone. I have a 1/32 scale paper model of a catalina!!!!??? sitting somewhere in the stash, waiting to be done. My one of these arrived the other day, what a monster! Let's see some more then! Can't wait to see the other pictures. Ok, how about this one; How much time does it take to build one like this? It normally doesn't take long to put one of these together. I had a few hold-ups during the build, there's a complete article here. More pic's please. One more then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
