Welcome
Welcome to Erick's Models. This is my place to show the models I've built and explain how I built them. I may not be the world's best modeler, but I have a good amount of experience. I've split my site into three sections. The first section is the Gallery. I have many of the models that I have built and previews of what I am going to build. The second section is for my Paper Models. I've built some, designed some, and even have a few tutorials on how to make paper models from certain computer games. And last is a small section where you'll find my Tips and Advice. I don't have a lot of advice that you can't find elsewhere, but I have a few good tings to look at. There are also a few other things scattered around, so feel free to look around.
So, browse around and have fun. I try to update the site whenever I get more to put on here. Of course, this is just a hobby, so work and life can prevent me from doing a lot to my site. But I try to update it every once in a while, so check back from time to time. And finally, if you have any questions or comments feel free to .

What's New
Updated Nov 17, 2011
OK, so that was a long break. What can I say? I'm easliy distracted. I did get some work done on my models though, but I need to take pictures. Also, I spent some time playing video games and reading. Nothing exciting, just some older books. The majority of my time is spent doing stuff with my family though, so I am not complaining one bit about not working on models. And while I might not be building models, my daughters are. You can now check out Alyssa's new F-4 Phantom and Katie's F-16 Fighting Falcon that they recently built. I keep trying to make modelers out of them, and one day I might. In the mean time I just enjoy spending time with them.
But don't worry, I'm working still. I'll get some work done soon and post some pictures. The Global Hawk is almost done, and the C-141 is coming along. I'm also fairly close to being done with my latest robot. Sooner or later I'll get some real progress done, but don't count on it. Christmas is right around the corner, and there are some games that I want. And a new toy might also distract me, as long as Santa thinks I've been good.
What I'm Working On
So, for those of you who are new here, I originally wanted to focus on certain types of models. Now it's just "build models." Unfortunately, it's really more like "play video games" most of the time. I do manage to extract myself from the video game trap from time to time and work on a couple models every now and then, however. I also slowly work on cranking out a paper model or two for download. Honestly, it just depends on what I feel like doing at the time. Sometimes, I think I have too many interests.
Here's the ever changing list. No promises that I won't get side tracked yet again.
- Northrop Grumman RQ-4B Global Hawk
- Lockheed C-141B Starlifter
- Robotech Defender's Condar
- Robotech Defender's Gartan
- Enterprise-A
- America's Manned Space Rockets
