What a moment in time.  Fantastic Art Direction.  Fantastic lighting.  Fantastic photograph.  A work of Art.  A new wallpaper.
 
Thank you for sharing.
Sincerely,

Nice tutorial, Peter.  Lots of steps to get to fruition, as well as patience to problem-solve.  Good show.

I'm working on a paper model-to-plastic model project right now, tho not an airplane.  I'm working on converting a 1/25 paper LVT(A)-1 to plastic.  
https://www.super-hobby.com/products/LVT-A-1AMTank.html
 
I scanned everything, instructions and parts.  Basically, I traced parts using Adobe Illustrator, making dimensional adjustments, copied parts as needed, bought a plug in for Adobe Illustrator (Silhouette Connect) so I could send images to my Silhouette to cut them out.  Now I'm gluing together.
 
''The major problen I am working on is how to get the wing to have the tapering thickness (difficult when one has a convex surface on the top and a convex shape on the bottom. Also trying to have the concave shapr between the ribs. This was easy when I was making models in 1/16 and 1/8 scales out of balsa wood back in the 1950's. One covered the ribs with "tissue paper" or "silkspan" or even silk and then sprayed the wing with "dope". ["Harry, you dope. Stop sitting on my model!").'
 
I don't understand the comment about wings having tapering thicknesses, unless it refers to the leading edge.  As for the concave shape, if your structure is plastic you are going to have a sturdy frame, so your skin can still be paper, otherwise .005 sheet can be pressed into sewrvice.

Mark

Great show.
 
'Now I know what you might be thinking - there is an honor associated with scratch building, and this is not scratch building.'
I must apologize, Jay.  I disagree.  It's a new tool in the scratchbuilders' vocabulary.
 
Sincerely,
Mark

Stupendous work, Jaybo.
 
'Cannot tell how hard I worked on these details'
Anyone that scratch builds can tell how hard you worked on those details.
 
'The foot troughs are going to be a giant challenge, as they cannot go in until after the cockpit walls and bottom are joined.'
Odd.  Why is that?
 
Sincerely,
Mark

Great work, Jay.  Fantastic detailing.
 

Be careful here.  This looks like something to break just waiting to happen.

Mark

Pretty inspirational work, John.

Good show, John.
 

Being raised in Virginia I too had painted nails and wood paneling just like that!
