Hi,

My name is Ron, and i have been playing with papermodels for some years now. It all started with Fiddler's Green by way of Flying Models Magazine. I went crazy for a while collecting paper models which put me back into building model airplanes. I'm still amazed at what can be done with paper.
I started to look for the ultimate paper which included the Stratmore 400 series hot press in 1 to 3 ply. One ply is no longer made, but I have a stash. I even tried the special paper used to submit patent drawings which is also no longer available. I have found that you can work a good paper when it's wet to get nice curves

Welcome to the Forum Ron. Sounds as though you have been
working with paper for a while so you should fit right in. Would
like to see some of your models and any future builds when you
feel comfortable with sharing.......Ron

Welcome aboard, Ron! Sounds like you've a lot to offer duffers like me - looking forward to learning from and enjoying your builds.

Thanks guys!

Yesterday my wife just found about 10 plastic portfolios with various models in them, I did not open them yet, but it seems almost like Christmas!
