Hey Folks!
Mr. Hawley here, I've been building all sorts of models for many years but only recently discovered papercraft when I was building some terrain for a role-playing-game. Since then I've become fascinated at the sheer variety and intricacy of some of the models out there.

It was a welcome refresher of a hobby I've loved because plastic model glue was starting to give me headaches every time I used it.

So now I get to model away without some of the nasty chemicals I used to use.

Hello and welcome. Trust me paper modeling will give you a headache once in a while too. lol

I was also a plastic modeler but it was the cost of the kits that gave me the headache. As I was not good at plastic, if I made a mistake I was done for. with paper it is a matter of printing out a new piece and away you go.

If you check out the video of my workshop on my signature you can see that most of my plastic modeling gear is still there and used for paper modeling.

Good luck and look forward to seeing you around.

Cheers
Jim
