Paper/Card Airships

[1ngram]

Not sure where to post this.  Looking at the Schreiber catalogue of card kits for some railway stuff and found their excellent airships.  Lokk at the aeroplane section.

Check out their other stuff too.  Anyone need a model of the Prague Synagogue?

The airships might be of most interest on the WW1 and WW2 forum.

However, many of the airplanes, while some are WW1 or WW2 vintage, would likely be of most interest on the Pulp forum, regardless of whether its Pulp in the colonial, back of beyond, WW1, SCW, RCW, or WW2 setting.  Since most of the figures on this forum are 28mm, the 1:50 scale airplanes are really worth a look, including:

Rumpler Taube
Fokker E III
Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny"
Junkers F-13 (the 1:50 scale one)
Ford Tri-motor
Junkers Ju 52/3m (a more expensive metal foil kit in 1:50)
Handley Page HP-42
Heinkel He 70 Blitz
Pilatus PC-6 "Porter"
Dornier Do 27 "Serengeti" (zebra stripes! -- ok, that one is colonial!)

I can really see a lot of these planes in Pulp scenarios. Thanks for the really interesting link!

That Taube looks nice.

Always with the Rumpler Taube. What about the Etrich Taube? That thief Rumpler always gets the credit, and he didn't do any of the work!


(I actually have a resin KuK Etrich Taube kit. But it looks to be a nightmarish monstrosity to build, and I am afraid to take it out of the box. I might not build it and say I did, and get that paper Rumpler instead.)

I got the Minos ship from this company, and although I haven't assembled it yet it looks solid.  They sell this Zep sized for gaming.  No PDF, which makes sense, I guess, as the paper is two-sided printing and folks tend to share files.

The Schreiber kits, while excellent, DO require quite an amount of care to get right, but if you take your time with them, they´ll most definitely look the part. You could also consider using thin superglue to harden the paper parts, particularly smaller ones, although this might result in paint running.

take a look at http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/ nice simple card models. Many are close to our scale as is and lots of pulpy possibilities.

Some good stuff there, especially the Fiddler's Green models.

I'm currently putting together a lot of .45 Adventure (and Broadsword) games, and finding that board layouts can start to look a little same'y after a few campaigns. Print out paper terrain is the perfect and best of all cheap!) solution for me.

I especially like the large Polar Exploration Airship-That's inspired a whole new campaign all by itself!
