Moar Canada :p
Heya, paper modelers!
Hailing from Montreal, Canada. I'm relatively new to paper (about a year, my fourth model in); previously I have been building some dioramas out of pretty much anything, and plastic kits (still do sometimes). Modeler's profile: Time period (mostly): 1910s to 1950s. Scale: between 1:35 and 1:250. Current interests: - Land ('40s-'60s usually): Busses, trams, small trucks. 1:64 scale buildings (for my son's Matchbox fleet :P) - Water: small ferries and passenger hydrofoils, early Dreadnought-era battleships, small or medium converted research vessels (think Tintin's Sirius and Aurora, or Jacques Cousteau's Calipso). - Air: WWII bombers, small or medium cargo and passenger planes. I like 'em in context, so usually make a vignette or at least a ground plate in place of a stand for my models. So far built: - 1920's Brussels tramway, scratch. First try, didn't even know that paper kits existed. Stumbled upon paper modeling sites half way through the construction  - Digital Navy's Lilla Weneda. First kit, partially painted. Messy. So satisfying. - A Polish fishing boat as an Aral Sea wreck. Grouted, painted, etc. Fun quick project. Currently in the works: PBY-2 Catalina (1:50) In development: A runabout boat (1:35) for the Indiana Jones Last Crusade vignette (boat chase scene :p) Awaiting the third beta build. Also if anyone knows where to get a 1:35 Harrison Ford let me know =) Peace out.

Hi there CW! Welcome to the forum. Thanks for joining. The models you posted pics of look great. I particularly like the Lila Weneda. Doesn't look messy from here. Please continue to post pics of your builds. What would really be nice would be to see a build thread. We're glad you're here. Welcome aboard!

You can get yourself a free Paper Indiana Jones, but you'll have to rescale him.

Hello and welcome. Really enjoyed the photos. I liked the one with all the junk on the ocean, river or whatever, floor.
