Title: VSF Steam Flyer in paper
Post by: Wirelizard on 16 April 2008, 08:46:41 PM
Via Miniaturewargaming.com (http://www.miniaturewargaming.com/), a paper model "Albatros Steam Flyer": Steam Flyer (http://www.miniaturewargaming.com/index.php/mwg/comments/albatross_steam_flyer_paper_model/)

(http://miniaturewargaming.com/images/uploads/steam_albatross.jpg)

Just the thing to support an invasion of Old Blighty, or possibly of Prussia, your choice!

Nice model - I love the idea of a steam ornithopter. :D

I've just downloaded it and will make it up when i get a chance. This could inspire me to kit-bash a proper model along similar lines.

Sir H,

If you build one for me I'll let you win the next game. That's if you trust me! Mwhaaaaaaaaa! (evil laugh)

I'm sure I've seen plans for a 28mm card Aeronef type ship [Space 1889] somewhere, but have no idea of the URL.

If anyone knows of it's whereabouts, or alternatively can confirm that it doesn't exist & I've gone senile, please let me know.

Sadly not - although they do have some very nice airships....

I did find this pic, however;

Which at least confirms I'm not yet a complete basket case.

I'm now happily googling away until i find those plans  :)

This has the smaller ones. I think the site that hosts the larger one has been dead for some time.

I just found this old thread. I think a 'nef like that one could easily be scratch-built - even by me...

Not by me it couldn't. I struggle putting a cup of tea together.  ;)

 lol The tea I can do - it's anything involving sharp things that causes me problems  :(

I'm fairly safe with scissors, but it's no picnic.
