Hello everyone, first i want to thank you all for recieving me in this spectacular forum. I've been assembling plastic model kits for two years, but I want to start assembling paper models too, I like the fact that cutting, folding and gluing the paper are new challenges for me. Can you tell me any recomendations in the assembling and gluing?, and again thank you for recieving me in the forum

Saludos compatriota. Bienvenido!

It is good to start with simple, basic things.
Just like driving: you learn how to drive in a basic car, not a Formula1

Be patient. Do not hurry. Remember that old saying in our country: "del afán no queda sino el cansancio". Since you've been building plastic models, you already know that You will also find that building paper models requires some of the same skills as plastic (or any other creative activity): order, planning, care when dealing with the tools, knowing the materials.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. They teach us a lot!

In this forum there is a lot of great people who kindly share their knowledge and their tips. Don't be afraid to ask.

Have a look at some of the ongoing building threads in the different categories. Even if it is a subject that you don't know anything about, you will surely find inspiration and ideas for your own builds.

Have a great time!
