Hello from Me

Hi - the mandatory post to the welcome zone!

I have been modelling for more than 45 years and have just started an interest in paper/card models. If I had a computer and printer when I was a kid - just imagine!

Welcome aboard, and there is still plenty of time.

When I was a kid, I made some models out of paper and cardboard... Albeit, they were very rough, especially by todays standards, but they were cool when I was a kid... That was around the same time that my dad picked up his first computer, a "portable" computer... It was a 40 lbs K-Pro.

Would love to see some pictures of some of your other work that you've done over the last several years.

Hi I see you are from Southern California, I lived in San Diego myself for 5 years (95-2000) while working in Tijuana. Lovely part of the world.

I'll dig through the PC and see what pictures are worth posting up i.d.c. Not many cardboard models, mostly plastic and balsa (I have also started to re-visit R/C, something I could never afford as a kid).

My fear of R/C is spending all that time building a plane, and crashing it.

Sometimes I think I don't have any coordination, despite some of my other activities and sports that I used to do.
