I have re-uploaded the Romanian Air Force with stripes version of the He-111. The roundels were wrong on this version and have now been corrected.

October 3rd, 2026

I have re-uploaded all A- and C-versions of the He-111, as there where missing glue tabs on them. This correction does not affect the outcome of the model.
Also I have re-uploaded the Free French version as one part was in the wrong color and had to be corrected. If you have already downloaded the Free French version, I suggest you download the correct version.

If you come across anything that may strike you as not correct please let me know.

Heinkel He-111 published.

Here it finally is: The Stahlhart Papercraft Heinkel He-111.
In and out of development for 17 years, coming in 75 versions, the end of an era as the last model I created completely without using 3D-software.

Because of the sheer amount of versions and complexity there are bound to be errors I have overlooked, so I depend on you to help me find them and report them.

AND DON'T FORGET TO SEND ME PHOTOS!!!!!

Gomidefilho’s 1/144 Gladiator

I’m happy I could add images of this little gem to my user gallery. Thanks to Gomidefilho for agreeing and providing high resolution images.
When the He-111 comes out and you build it, please remember that sharing is caring and share your photos not just on your favourite forum but also with me, so I may present them on this website.
Seeing your beautiful builds is one of the things that makes the design work worthwile, and you needn't think your build is not good enough, if you don't feel uncomfortable, I can post your images under a different name.

2D-editing tutorials published

I have published the first two tutorial videos on papermodel 2D-design. These first two are about inkscape, a free software to create vector-based drawings. All Stahlhart models are created with vector-drawings and so are many models by other designers, most notably Scissors & Planes. This means a vector-software is the ideal tool not only to create models, but especially to repaint existing vector-based models.
Next video in this series is going to be an example of doing a repaint.

A block of flats for you to build

The Myrtle Pavillions model is a block of flats that was based on an actual residence area in China and is a typical modern block of flats as built in thousands in China.
The model was created as an example model for my 3D-modeling course in 2025 and now was finally published. .

Heinkel He-111 images and release announcement

The first images of the finished Heinkel He-111 model are now available for you to look at and the model will be released within this year. For the Heinkel He-111, I will change the way my models are published. Instead of releasing all versions at once, I will release some initial versions together and will add other versions as they are finished.

Simple Cars published

I have published the Simple Cars which are a collection of simple car models in 1:32 scale aimed at beginners although you can scale them down to increase the challenge.
The cars were created during my 3D-course and you can also go to Youtube channel or the design section of this website to find videos how to design similar cars in Blender by yourself. On the design page, I also provide Blender files to help you get started and for refererence.
