No printer or software... you just drew and cut the parts on blank paper/card using your judgement? If so, that's very impressive to me. I'm very new to paper modelling, but have put together many plastic models. To even attempt what you're doing seems to me to be advanced indeed.

Again, I've little experience paper modelling, and no experience trying to paint paper/card. I've read (on this site) that some paper modellers use oil based enamel paint, and this provides a superior finish. Water based paints are more convenient. I use oil based enamel (Humbrol) on plastic models.

Thanks everyone for the nice words. You all really motivate me a lot, and I am glad I found some people who appreciate my work

@Mr Spock, Yes, I am drawing each component on a a piece of paper, then I am cropping the respective piece, and I am using it as a "negative" which I am later copying on card like so:

Here are the mirrors for example:

Finally managed to finish and attach the side mirrors after a long struggle. It took me about ~35 minutes for each side mirror due to the complexity of tightening the card cutout into shape but finished them nonetheless.

I'd say the model is about 95% completed, only painting being left. Here's an ideea of what I would like the overall aspect to look like. I chose the final colour to be plain white, because I think it is the best suited to evidentiate the interior and the details.

What do you think ?

@hangman Thanks a lot, Harry, your Aston is coming along incredibly too. That metallic finish is mind-blowing. Actually looks like it's casted metal. In the good way. As for mine, i was thinking about using paste paint, which will also fill small gaps, then using wood lacquer on the body panels. The black water-based marker I used for the interior actually did a pretty good job giving it that plastic-like look.

Painting done. At last...
Only badges left. I will print them and stick them to the model.
What do you think of this so far ?

The last pic shows a well done car to me. If the rest of the car looks this good I'd say you have reached your goal.
