Hi all
Guess im a long ways from most of you folk,I am in fact in the damp
weather of little old England in the UK.
Over the years from the early Penguin kits and the Airfix Spitfire in its
polly bag,I must have had a go at every plastic,balsa, and wooden kit
that ever came out, lol

I started on paper models a couple of years ago with a Mercury Redstone
rocket,since then I was hooked.
With this hobby you dont need piles of kit boxes,or gallons of paint,and
if you mess one up,...you simply print another.

Regards to you all......Dave

Welcome, Dave! Couldn't have put it better myself. Looking forward to your comments.

True, but an extra filing cabinet comes in handy.

Your not a proper card modeller till you build pile measures in feet rather than inches!

Hello and welcome. Indeed where you are from means little here. Unless of course we're picking on each other - which we do sometimes.

eh Peter. lol. I am Scottish. My Wife is American. My Mum - bless her was born in Canada. My dog was English, my Cat was born in Ireland and my first wife was Welsh. Hmm! Perhaps that's why I'm all messed up.

You are now a part of a very large family of Paper Modelers with a common goal - Paper Modeling. You will find a very large and helpful community indeed.

You've got me thinking now! Wonder if there are any stats as to the nationality's of our friends here at PM.COM?

All the best mate.

Cheers
Jim
