My WW1 papermodels collection (± 250 different models)
Hello to all.
I have been reading you for years and I finally decided to write something.
I collect WOG WW1 planes. They are all made of paper.
I propose to make you discover my collection, some models every 2 or 3 days.
(with my production, I can entertain you for 2 years)
I cover all the countries that participated in the First World War, from the most obvious to the most anecdotal (Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, ...)
Here we go !
AVRO 184
Macchi L1
austro hungarian LLOYD CV
Wow... I have a lot of challenges modeling things in 3D on the computer. I can't imagine doing all those in paper!
Looking forward to more.
Excellent!
Amazing work Philippe
Wonderful stuff especially the Macchi.
You are clearly a very patient man, Philippe, bravo !

Bravo!
Great!
One life would not be enough for me to produce 250 models.
Do you also design your own models?
Superb!
A master modeller for sure!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
super boulot
Gorgeous models, Philippe! Thanks for sharing them and looking forward to seeing more
Beautiful! I can't imaginme all the work you've done to put together your collection. Bravo!
Goodnight all !
Since you seem to like it, here are 3 more
The very beginning, the Olieslagers brothers on their Blériot 11
(Belgium in 1914, the order of the colors of the cockade was not yet fixed)
A french Caudron GIII
And the triplane of Kempf
@ hokusai,
I build 3 planes at a time to allow the glue to dry (1/2 hour a day)
At first, I found them all done, I just had to put them back to 1/144.
Now, it becomes more difficult because you have to modify, redraw, recolor, or even create on the basis of plans or already existing models.
Then, a lot of plinth (ground) exists, but I also have to redraw some entirely.
The next ones will be a Belgian Farman F-40.
and an Austro-Hungarian B-1 Aviatik
If you hadn't told me they were paper I would not have believed it.
Wonderful work Philippe. Very impressive !
I tackled the Farman this morning, hope it flies tonight
ENGINE, ..... REMOVE SHIMS, .....
Let's go !
Faster than AMAZON!
Wow! Awesome work!

Wonderful collection and fine work, Philippe!
More beauties, well done!
You don't need cards for your planes, as you have stands made with cards. I still went through the search, to see if I could better match the colour scheme. You patched the scheme together? The Fiddler's Green model doesn't look the same as your plane, which I suspect you modified to match an existing card?Originally Posted by Flingueur-Phil

Hello Mike,
It's one of my first planes and it's already a few years old. But indeed, it is a modified Fiddler's Green with a '5 BLUE'.
The Fiddler's Green decorations do not correspond to a real profile.
moreover the '5 BLUE' is much prettier and famous.
It is a printed and laminated card.
Already presented elsewhere,
