Christmas comes early.
I took the plunge and ordered some paper kits from Europe. Arrived today and like a kid at Christmas, I opened, stared glassy eyed at the kits. Purchased 1/25 Cougar, Staghound and Renault F17. Thanks to Modellservice and Slawomir for great service. Now I must take the next few months to translate the instructions (before the snow flies), I have something to do on night shift breaks.
Not to worry once the madness begins I'll post. Thanks to everyone who has posted on "how to" and their builds. Information, instruction, guidance and inspiration.

I recently completed the Staghound. Wonderful kit, but don't trust the numbers in the explanatory drawings. Apart from several mistakes (and even some missing parts, but nothing fatal) a great model, which I built with immense pleasure.
Maybe good to know that the Humbrol colors 29 en 94 match perfectly.

I posted a Google translated version of the Cougar MRAP instructions in the download section a while back. That may save you a little bit of translation frustration...

Modelperry thank you for that. Definitely will mark that. Abhovi, great looking kit! I may contact you once the build starts. To start any secrets on wheel building? For my Staghound, looking at making it Canadian Royal Canadian Dragoons (the Regiment I served in), either Italian or NW Europe.

Nothing special about making the wheels, apart from the fact that they are a lot bigger than most of the vehicles I built. Just straight forward wheel building :-).
I did have to paint them though... What I really liked about this kit was the turret. The whole shape was done from one piece of paper, in spite of its complicated shape. Now that's what I call intelligent cardboard design... And everything was really moveable: doors, hatches, hood, window covers, etc. A lot of joy for such a low price.
