Hello all!

Hi, I am new to paper modelling, I have seen some stuff on the net and I want to try this hobby as opposed to my old one. I am currently a plastic scale modeller though I haven't made a kit for some time due work. as a kid, due to lack of funds I could not easily afford the plastic kits my friends had, so I learned to make my kits out of cardboard folders from office supplies. I guess this is no different. Thank you for having me here. I hope I can give back as much as I learn from the rest of you guys! Cheers!

Welcome. It is a little different, in that when you print these out, most have textures.

What types of models interest you most?

Welcome.

try to coat paper with cyan-acrylic glue, and you'll receive a plastic model

Hi there Medicineman! Welcome to the site. Thanks for joining. I suggest you check out 2 subforums - First Cuts - A Lounge and Tips and Tricks. They are both chock full of information for someone new to the hobby and will probably answer many of the questions you will have. Don't forget to check out the Downloads section here (top right of the page, 2d link from the right) for many free models of all kinds. We're glad you're here. Welcome aboard!
