I've been wondering about how "large" paper model aircraft can get...and whether paper modelers feel a particular compulsion to ONLY model with paper. And I've wondering how common it is to "scratch-built" card-models from simple card stock and then paint and detail separately (vs. the cut out and glue method of this booklet).
In short, I think I could really enjoy the challenge of building a relatively "larger" paper model of something like the Strutter, maybe something like 1/16 scale, using primarily paper but perhaps also including things like wooden struts (or a bit of clear plastic for windscreens).
I've also wondered whether it's "accepted" to for example soak the card stock is various solutions to make it more rigid. For example, I'm made bits for my larger scale models by soaking paper with CA, then sanding.
