Hello all papermodelers

Hello all,

Just to introduce myself: I am a 42-yo Physics teacher, background in Space Physics and radio control Pattern flying, also indoor freeflight rubber power flying.

I am looking forward to make out those fabulous paper spacecraft models with my students to educate them in Space exploration, history and technique. I also have some pupils who need special attention so I am looking froward to try some simpler models with them as a bonus material.

A big hand to those genius minds who study all those sources and documents and create those fabulous papermodels available to others. You are fantastic.

Cheers,

-- Erkko

As a former Physics teacher, I welcome you to the group.

Don't know if you've been to this site, California Geological Survey - Earth Science 3D Paper Models and Toys, but there are some interesting projects there. What age group do you teach?

I started here with my space program. They have a free Restone to start with. I have built all these models and even sold them (with permission of course) on E-bay.

Welcome, Erkko! The free downloads here, and available via links to other sites, certainly will help your space-related projects. But space and aviation are merely one area of subject matter, so you're apt to be seriously tempted into other subjects. Fortunately, the goal is having fun, and you can do that with almost any models.

Erkko,

Welcome to the PaperModelers Forum.

I also taught High School Physics for six years then went into Water Treatment.

Wow, I didn't even last as long as my short-term marriage ... One year of Physics and Chemistry, shuttling between two high schools. It was actually the parents that made me decide to do something else.
