Articles - WIKI

**cgutzmer** · #1 07-17-2007, 08:34 AM

For those of you interested in articles and have not checked it out......

This is really the papermodelers WIKI. Jason has asked me to head up this development.

Jason has gotten permission to use info from the old cardfaq.org. This will make getting the initial setup done in fairly short order.

I would like to handle this a little differently though. If anyone is interested in participating you are welcome to do so....

I would like to go through the old cardfaq a section at at time and find info that is still pertinent and put it into the articles here with a new logical structure.

I also want to create a section dedicated to tutorials. It was mentioned elsewhere about Carl's tutorials being brought here and if anyone has them with only info pertaining to the tutorial and all other posts etc stripped out so it reads more like a process than a thread (i.e its generic and does not relate to a given site) I would like to see those here.

I know Phil also had a nice tutorial about how he builds tiny and if I recall he had some great info on the techniques he was using on his Porter design. A couple of others would be the canopy theraforming techniques. I have everything I put into the reserves in both word and pdf format so those are good starts. If anyone wants to work on these please let me know.

Also please be sure to get permission from the original author before posting anything they may have created. I don't want to step on any toes.

let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
Chris

Chris, I have the originals of the pictures still for the tutorials if that is any help. I didn't save any of the delightful prose however. I would be happy to see them reconstituted here so please take it as permission from me, if that means anything.

Chris, I've been very, very bad. I offered to help last time, but I just havn't had the time to do anything. If I was at school my end of term report would say ''must try harder next time''. Sorry.

If you wanted to email me one of the tutorials in whatever format you have archived I'd be willing to try and assemble it into the articles section - not promising it'd be fast, but I'd give it a go.

PS. If you want me to try and help, PM me for the email address
