Lou

The Piasecki is still one I carved in 200, I made another in 2017. The Sikorsky S51 is still missing.

A very impressive body of work!! A tip of the hat to all contributors on the breadth of coverage and quality of the builds.

I am copying WWI models to http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/SMF/index.php?topic=1413.msg17136#msg17136 so they can be displayed together.

Check it but remember it is a work in progress.

Regarding WW 1 models....I may be a touch biased....but I think fingers SE 5 is one of the prettiest carvings I've seen in a long time, the detail is amazing!

Hello,

I am a newer member. I took a long hiatus from model building but am taking it up again.

In my youth I made simple solid models back in the early 1970s using the book "Model Planes for Beginners" by H.H. Gilmore. These are rather primitive compared to the fine models others are posting, but might encourage others to start. Is there a place on this site for posting such photos?

Regards,

Chuck

Welcome to Solid Model Memories Chuck, all abilities and levels of models welcome here. The section where you also posted would be the right place but you need to have your photos hosted to somewhere like Flickr to add them to a post. When you reply to a post, above the message box are a row of smilies and 2 rows of boxes. The first box on the second row is for inserting an image into the post, if you click on it [img]/[img] will appear and you need to put the web address of the picture in between [img]/[img] to post it. Then click on preview and your picture should appear in your message, if it does then click on post and it will upload to the forum. Regards Paul J.

I remember Gilmore's books (he had one with ships, and one with rockets as well, if I remember correctly). I believe I have several of them (purchased recently) in my library.

I built my PT-10 PT boat using his plans:
