Dyna-Soar attends some of the "build meetings" of our local IPMS group, but most of the other guys don't follow this forum. I posted the first picture of the cardmodel tree to our mailing list; it elicited many comments, the best being

"Paper or not, looks like he builds more than the rest of us combined!"

I would be understanding of the other club members' production rate. At $20-$50 for one decent plastic model kit (if you can even find one of your desired real spacecraft) you can actually get a brick of card stock and an ink cartridge; that'll make quite a few paper models. I still think cost is the penultimate reason for modelling in paper (ultimate reason is the graphics detail).
