martin collins 1 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hi guys, Manny at the BMFA has offered a free stand to demonstrate the art of building models with foamboard and depron. I have said i will man it both days and have my 109, Skystreak and Carvair models for people to look at and to give demos/explain how they are put together, where the materials are sourced from and how you can produce cheap light scale looking airframes using these materials. I would appreciate any help from some of you guys who are masters of the art! Are any of you available to co man the stand/ demonstrate using the materials and bring a few models along? It would be great to meet some of you as well and i`m sure we can all learn something from each other as to the different methods used to achieve the same end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Davies 3 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hi Martin, Great news. If I can, I will. I'll need to check the diaries and see if I'm spared. Graham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Bit too much of a trip for me down from the periphery of the Highlands, but wish you all the best with your efforts to encourage making use of these excellent building materials.

Graham Davies 3 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I can make it on the Sunday Martin. I can bring the Regianne and Pitts, assuming they survive! I could bring the fatty Me109 for giggles too. Graham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zflyer Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) I cannot make the event and I do not know if you have used this stuff but it makes ideal light weight strengthening. It comes in assorted sizes and box sections. Edited September 1, 2023 by Zflyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin collins 1 Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) I would like to put together a folder with pictures of some of the foamboard/depron models you guys have built to put on the tables at the Model Builders show, could you send me your favourite picture of each of the planes you have built, it will help promote this method of construction, some part build shots would be good also. I have let Manny know you are coming on the Sunday Graham so entry will obviously be free when you arrive.
