Merry Christmas!. Some time ago we presented you an impressive work from our friend MorTap, who showed us how to build Old West houses using foamed PVC. Now, once more, MorTap presents another awesome work, a Junkers Ju 52 in 28mm!.

Because the great versatility of the foamed PVC, in this ocassion I pretended to build something different, a Junkers Ju 52 in 28mm. But I decided to build it in a smaller size, in order to avoid to place an enormous element in the battlefield, which can disturb rather than beautify the game.

Materials:

  • 2 and 4mm foamed PVC
  • High density cork
  • Three plastic caps
  • Four sticks of lollipops
  • Wire
  • Small pin or button

Using scaled blueprints, we start cutting the different pieces of the plane body. You can find the sizes used expressed in centimeters. The foamed PVC is too easy to «sculpt» using a model knife or pencil.

We can use cork and the «table» used in the pizzas to build the weels.Mortap 39 Mortap 47 Mortap 40 Mortap 41 Mortap 43 Mortap 44 Mortap 45

We use a button to build the rear wheel.

    Hay que ser MUY manitas para poder hacer esto. Yo, aparte de que no tendría paciencia, no sabría ni cómo empezar. Gracias por el tuto, es un lujazo poder ver un paso a paso tan ambicioso como este.

    You have to be a real handyman to do this. Excepting that I would not have patience, I would not even know where to begin. Thanks for the tutorial, it’s delightful to see a step by step as ambitious as this.

    Howdy! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.

    Does operating a well-established website like yours require
    a large amount of work? I’m completely new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily
    basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips
    for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
