De Havilland Beaver Model

Postby ilikerio » Sat Apr 21, 2012 7:20 pm

I just finished this one. It's a De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver on wheels. It's way more fun to build paper models than to build plastic ones.

2 days, but only because I had other stuff to do. I could have completed it in like 3 hours if I had the time.

Paper models may not be as detailed but they're fun to build and cost WAAAY less than plastic models. For example, I got a B-29 plastic model a few Christmases ago that was 50 bucks. You can make a paper model of a B-29 for less than half that price!  :D
