I began designing and building planes about 9 months ago. I love military aircraft from all eras. Here are a few I have built. Got a few others in the works including p51, F86, Mig 17, a spitfire and a couple others. Anyway, just ran across this site and figured I would post some of my builds for those interested.

These are my own designs. I started by doing the designing without computer aid. It took forever  The A10, Zero and C130 I designed them using 3d programming. It really really speeds things up. Now I find the designing as much fun as the building. |

Cool stuff. Ever think of doing a Mustang but with the cans inside out? -Tim |

Tiger Tim wrote: Cool stuff. Ever think of doing a Mustang but with the cans inside out? -Tim I had planned on giving that a try but I found that going against the normal curvature of the can leads to lots of small imperfections. It might be possible to take a diet pepsi ,which has a pretty good sized area of unprinted surface, and make an all unfinished aluminum look. That would be really neat looking. |

Those are some amazing models. I have one question for you. How many bandages did you go thru?  Seriously, those are great. I love the A-10. |

I have built 9 planes in as many months. Believe it or not, I have yet to cut myself once. What cracks me up is my brother came over Thursday, picked up my C130, and sliced his finger open. hehehehehehehehe |

Oh man those are cool! Considering the A-10's "retro" style, making one out of "throwback" cans is especially appropriate. SN |

We do a lot of griping on this forum about old planes being turned into cans. But I was just looking over on SCIX (Soda Can Information Xchange) and they are really upset about perfectly good cans being turned into airplanes. Also, there is a big flaming thread there about those retro Mountain Dew cans being the wrong color. August |

I have seen soda/beer can airplanes before, but these take the detail to a whole other level! Super cool! Now, how about a P-47?  Zack |
