Title: Playmo Triplane
Post by: Jimbo on March 29, 2006, 20:39:17

Hello  everyone,
This a picture of another triplane I made.  It was made the same way as the Red Baron's.  I have made around thirty various model flying machines in "Playmobil" scale.  Fun stuff.

Best regards,

Jim

That's mighty fine, again.  I like it, especially the pilot who is presumably PM.

Great again. 30 different ones? How long have you been making scratch items for Playmo?

Another terrific addition to the Playmo air force!

I notice you said "flying machines" and not airplanes. Have you made any lighter-than-air or other type of non-plane aircraft?

Thanks all, for the nice comments.  They are very inspiring!

Hello, Tiermann.  I have been making scratch built items for a long, long, time.
If Playmobil did not make something  wanted, I made one, and sent the picture
to Playmobil U.S.A., and they forwarded it to Germany.  I am a retired aircraft mechanic,('bout 40 years), so making the Playmobil airplanes was a hoot.

Ahoy Captain Henry.  I thought of making a PM helium balloon, but haven't yet.
I have stayed with vintage planes mostly,  with a goofy one thrown in now and again.
Also ships and the sea have always fascinated me.

Superb! :wow:

I find it amazing that you can build such intricate models yourself without using some kind of kit.
You're very skillful! :yup:

Hi Dan. 

The planes are made out of plywood, and various hardwoods.  Kinda simple actually.
