Smile Good Day

I have been a plastic modeler for over 60 years, and recently started building paper models. Mostly buildings and models of the US space program. The majority of my collection is in 1/72 scale and there is a very limited number of paper models in that scale, which means I need to do some re-drawing to get then into 1/72 scale.

I enjoy the media and it is a nice break from the plastic builds.

Glad I found this site and what it has to offer.

I am a retired USAF and Viet Nam era vet.

Welcome to the site.
Quite a lot of people like to rescale paper models to match their other models so you should get some good help if you run into any problems.

Something to keep in mind is the size of the parts when rescaled and if they will fit the largest page you can print so you can determine if some parts need to be split between pages.
