Long time member, first time poster. I originally joined because I love seeing people build these incredible models out of paper. I have built a few in the past, my best one being a 1/48 Delta Airlines B727-200. I hope to be able to start contributing soon.

Well, Gus, I'm glad you posted. Are most of your builds aircraft?

No, I have built several of the Delta 7 Mercury and Gemini models. I think my first ones were a couple of simple and small submarines. I have a USS Nautilus sub model that's about 45 inches long that I haven't started yet and also a Disney Nautilus. Just about anything that catches my fancy. Only problem I have is finding the time to build.

Yeah, it's pretty big. It was made by a company called 3D-Paper back in the mid 80's, which is when I built it. They also made a Fed-Ex B727-200 and a PSA Airlines B727-100. Unfortunately, the company doesn't exist anymore but you can still find the models on Ebay sometimes. It's one of the few models I have (paper or plastic) that has survived this long and through several moves intact. I'll try to take some photos of it and post them.

Sorry for the delay. Here are the pictures I promised. My 8 year old son is holding the model.

Welcome.

I think we all battle at times to find the time to build!

That is a really stunning model. Thanks for sharing the pics.

And I am incredibly impressed that you have to keep it in one piece for so long. But well worth the effort!

PS I think you must re post the pics in the aircraft section, otherwise a lot of interested people are going to miss this.....
