Absolutely cracking thread and I can believe I've missed it till now.

If you don't mind I'll move this to the How To thread so it doesn't get lost in the mists of time  :)

Thank you, but its all done with mirrors.
The engines are ,thin strips for detail.double thickness card stacked in reducing layers and a tube in the middle which was formed around a pen.

This is one brilliant project :) I have been lurking a bit watching this one and have to admit I am very impressed with the simple but effective materials used on this. Very well done indeed :)

Great minds :D.The Fokker was a sea plane as well.But I'm thinking Cutters Goose.
I'm just about to start a SnowKat ,as its been bouncing round in my bonce all day.Sticking with the Pulp themed models.Through November.Also begining to see my way too,making a train in the new year.Its not so much how to make one,as where to put it.
The Fokker will be finished later this week.
The for the fun of it I'll do the Snow Kat.If anyones interested if not.I'll knock one up and few buildings to do a Pulp Air field.Because I've a Plane Know and no use for it.(Had to put a base on it so I could store it on the back wall of cupboard).

There's a nice 1/70 paper model of a snow cat floating on the web :

Who would have that that an essentially paper plane could look so good fantastic work. I have done some paper models in the past - but always been afraid to attempt something like an aircraft - largely because of all the curves. However the wings in particular on this Fokker are inspirational.

Thank you,I've taken a quick look,I was planning on something a little more Heath Robinson.(or1920's/30's ish)Theres a small picture marked Snow track St4,In the corner of that page.I was thinking of something with that cab,a stub nosed bonnet and grill.With a flat bed behind the cabin,I think that space might be more gamer friendly than s full length closed body of the one you kindly posted a link too.But if your intent on building that one,I can talk you through pimping it up with added detail/ texture for 28mm gaming.
