Greetings from California

Hello everyone,

My name is Tommy and I'm new to the paper modeling world. Been building plastic models since I was a child, but am really intrigued by what paper modeling has to offer, such as level of creativity, wide array of subject options, scale sizes, and inexpensive costs. Also hoping to pick up some tips and advice for building paper models : )

Welcome Tommy,
Paper has much to offer, you will see models in paper that are not available in any other medium. Plus you've got this really neat forum!

Bob

Hey Tommy!! Hello and welcome. This is certainly the place to come if your interested in getting into the world of paper modeling. As many here have come from the world of plastic models your among many with the same background.
Plastic models have become just crazy expensive now as well.
Soon you'll see about downloading models which is a big plus because unlike plastic, where if you mess up a piece or lose one, your screwed. With paper, just crank up the printer and print another kit. Easy as that.
So sit back and enjoy.
