Smile Hello to all

Admin tells me I have to say something, so here goes - I've been building models, off and on, for over fifty years. My tastes are eclectic, depending on whatever piques my interest. I currently favor paper architectural models, and am also starting to restore old die-cast metal toys. I have been playing for some time with making architectural models out of paper-pulp-formed packaging materials, since many of these looked like architecture to me, usually from the outside shape. I am somewhat disorganized, so don't get to work on my models as much as I'd like. I like working with paper, and am amazed at the creativity I have already seen in this group. I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

well, we wouldn't tell you to do anything, but we suggest that an introduction is the best way to kick off joining in the fun here on the forum.

I would like to see some of your architectural models, I believe others would to.

Welcome, enjoy yourself, and if you have questions, just ask

Rick

Greetings, Blulay.
I'm also learning to design packaging for food and snacks, I hope there are lots of good resources here.

Welcome, Blulay.
In case you haven't already seen these, here is a link to some nice architectural models from Pavel Styl:
