Title: Hello from East Tennessee
Post by: fleetsailor1981 on November 14, 2014, 10:32:05 AM

Hi all, found this web site today and was blown away by some of the talent here. Even though I chose to model in a different media (Paper) I still respect the efforts of the modelers of the different models I see, being 51 it has been awhile sense I have worked on a model, I have chosen to reduce some paper models from about 1/60th to 1/144th. One of the advantages of working with paper kits is that you can resize them. Happy modeling all.  Gregg

Welcome to the forum, Gregg!  Great to have you aboard.  I've been totally blown away by some of the paper models I've seen.  Especially the latest ship models on display at Telford and a brilliantly detailed 737 I saw a while back.  Amazing stuff.  I have a few WWI paper kits that I intend to translate into plastic card stock.  Lends itself well to our genre.
Cheers,
Bud

Hello and welcome to this great site Gregg. I've long been fascinated by the idea of paper modelling and it would be great to hear some of your insights into the processes involved.

Hallo Gregg!
I am really impressed by the paper models I have seen around, they often look great and I'm really curious about the techniques.
I look forward to seeing some of your models.
