Hi friends,

I had made a present for a friend a few years ago. It was scale model P47D (WWII plane). It wasn’t a kit. I found blueprints of P47D, bought balsa wood (1mm and 3mm). It wasn’t easy to built it coz i decided to make “stop-motion” video. I made a piece of plane and take photo. It was really a challenge for me. It took a month. And i have lots of pictures and a stop motion video. İ hope you like this video (:

Note: If you want to see process of building this model, i can post pictures here.

Hi Erg

Great fun! I love the stop-frame photography. Excellent help from those teddy bears too.

All the best

Big enough for a teddy bear to sit in

Thanks for nice words i use telephone, teddy bear, dumbell etc. for understanding scale of the plane. But not just for scale it looks more artistic

Wow, that's awesome!
What we do here is just glueing parts together. What you do is what I really call building a model. Do you remember how many photos you took for making that video? Nice one, btw.
