Smile Checking out this new thing

I have been admiring Shane Webb's work with paper and have always been fascinated with how nice these look. I have been building plastic kits for most of my life and am exploring whether or not I will dive into paper as a new challenge and for something different.

I'll start my research on the basics to see where it takes me....I know nothing about paper kits, but have to start somewhere.

Hope you all don't mind a newbie question here and there....at 55 years old I am not used to being on this side of the fence...

Welcome Hutch, lots of former plastic people here and bunches of us that jump back and forth as the mood strikes. Lots of freebie stuff out there that's a good way to experiment.

Welcome to the site.

The Links tab at the upper right is a good place to explore the web for some good paper model sites, both free downloads and payed downloads or pre-printed kits.

Welcome aboard! Look around for the subjects that interest you, read a few design or build threads, then dive right in. Paper offers you a wide selection of subjects, the thrill of the chase to find templates on the web (or hard copy stores), superb graphics, and low-low cost.
Looking forward to your journey!
