Just thought it would be a fun idea.
Like the screenshot competition but only with paper planes.

Rules.

You may post up to three pictures but they must all be of the same paper plane.

Your plane must be made out of paper.

You can make a new plane from scratch or take a picture of one you've already made.

Your plane can be in colour or in black and white and as big or small as you wish

You can use planes from Airigami or Michael Kuhnt's BN-2 Islander or you can make your own.

And no you can't download a paper plane and take a screenshot of it in FS

All entries must be in by Saturday the 6th which gives everyone one week.

Good luck (especially for the building of the actual planes)

What's the prize?

I guess just the glory of being the best person at making a paper plane.

Who knows? In future if this gets popular it could get sponsored (but don't get your hope's up) I just did it to find out if other people are skilled in the art of "Airigami"

Here's my entry:

Air New Zealand 737-200 ZK-NAO





Made it today.
Took about an hour (that makes my paper a/c collection 8 - including one that disappeared - with many more to go)

Okay, here's my entry. This is a 1:50 scale model of the ANZ PAPER Express P4932-400 series.
Took three minutes to recreate, and five to get the pictures right. The engines are stored on the right side. The passengers all sit on the left hand side of the plane to counterbalance the weight of the engines. However, in the second picture, the engines seem to have moved to the left hand side....funny that!

At the gate



Rotating (Whoops! A bit outside the runway lines )



Climbing



Oh, and this is the payware model .


Edit: I'll try to put up a serious one at some point

Matt's is the best so far ... !!!!

"Oh, and this is the payware model" LOL

What so of fps do you get, has it a good virtual cockpit?

undoubtably matt, although, could be like the overland models, amazing exterior, and defualt systems

Can't stop laughing at the paper runway! and the little smiliey face inside

must stop laughing now...

We really shouldn't be so mean

James

Matt is definitely showing the "creative side"

Thanks guys .

FPS are relatively high, because it is a low-poly model. Unfortunately, a VC is not possibly, because the plane is so thin!

defualt systems

I think that's a bit of an overstatement. You can't fit too much more than a yoke in this cockpit

and the little smiliey face inside

And I've only just realised that the pilot doesn't actually have a body...

I was originally going to draw this as a Qantas plane, then realised that I can't draw kangaroos .

This plane can only fly in VFR conditions, as it doesn't react too well with water.

Such precise rivet lines!
Gets my vote.

Love Matts entry! Here is mine... I was given this C130 kit at the Whenuapai airshow and decided this thread was a perfect excuse for me to spend the later part of the afternoon building it:

Couple of good Airbus 320 models, as well as other paper stuff

Where's the engines trolly?

Where's the engines trolly?

Last all four of them being shot at over the neighbors fence. It is now powered by the big hand shaped object attatched to the bottom of the fuselage

Hahaha, go round and ask the neighbours if they happen to have any C-130 engines lying around their back yard .

Never mind the engines.........I take it that nose was taken from the good side only it looks as if the other half might be missing !?

Obviously Matt has some good friends from Air NZ in high positions...

The next livery we can expect from Air NZ is...

hmm - I have a RNZAF paper Skyhawk somewhere that needs making up but I suspect it might be a bit of collectors item now so maybe not.

I'm just pleased to see a lot more out there using Card , WELLDONE ALL

Ahhhh yes. The Mark 1 hand.....so much power on takeoff LOL

If anyone wants instructions (for airigami)on the Engines/ Propellers or landing gear just PM Me.
For the moment I don't know where the actual instructions are or where to get them as the links don't work yet on airigami so if you want instructions on how to make the aircraft just say so in the post and I'll put up instruction in another topic.
For the comp I seriously recommend Airigami as they have so many aircraft.
Again good luck.
