Paper Models in the Press Again!

The current issue of Model Railroad Hobbyist has an article on modeling with paper (centered around model RR subjects, naturally).

You can read it online here:

Model Railroad Hobbyist September 2019

While pm.com (or any other paper modeling forum/site) did not get mentioned specifically, it's always nice to see our favorite modeling medium get some spotlight time!

Nice article. Thanks. Paper models cost a whole lot less than resin, plastic, or laser cut wood models.

Hi All,

And thanks, sgoti, for the link to the article.

I'm always happy to see a discussion about paper modeling, and I appreciate the efforts of Messrs. Gibbens. However, I was surprised that they didn't mention what I regard as the most unique and important tool in the paper modeler's kit, the scoring tool. Nor was there any mention of proper scoring technique. A novice paper modeler will be very disappointed with his or her first modeling attempt if they don't properly score and fold the necessary parts of the model.

When I see photographs of other paper modelers working at their benches, the first thing I look for is their scoring tool. We all use something different, from expired ball point pens to knitting needles to dulled No. 11 blades. Not to be overly dramatic, but finding the right scoring tool can be seen as a personal quest. If it doesn't fit the hand and impress a sure, smooth line into the card, the search will continue until satisfaction is achieved. And once found, your choice will become a constant and trusted companion on your bench.

I guess that was overly dramatic. I'm sure that the article's omission was an oversight. These few words were only offered in praise of the humble scoring tool.

Score and fold,

Thumb Dog
