Saying Hello

Hi folks

Just introducing myself as a newbie, I've been a model maker(hobby) for decades and at the age of 54 am just starting into card/paper modelling. I've made many models over the years in plastic, wood, metal, foam but I have an interest in architectural models and suspect card to be ideal. I'm looking forward to the whole new vista this hobby opens up.

Dear dstreather:
Welcome to the forum, Card stock lends itself extremely well to architecture especially with the technique called layering. Look through the builds section and learn then go score cut fold and glue.
Enjoy,
Miles
