Hello from Plattsburgh New York

Making the switch from plastic to paper and card. Looks like a lot of my tools can make the switch too. Looking forward to working on a 1/25 US Army Willys Jeep.

Hello and welcome. Your story sounds pretty familiar. There’s plenty of us here that started with plastic but for whatever reason, turned to paper.
No matter what, just sit back, look around and enjoy.

Hi there DJFdesign! Welcome to the forum. Thanks for joining. As Rich said many of us used to work in p!@$tic but made the switch for various reasons. Your Willys jeep build sounds interesting at that scale. Would you be willing to start a thread with pics and keep us abreast of your progress? We love seeing pics of other people's work. We're glad you're here. Welcome aboard!

Thanks! Like it already! How about a good source for various weight card stock - looking for about 1/16" and lower weights.

I usually get mine from Walmart. Other people get theirs from Amazon, Staples, Office Depot, craft shops, stationers and even printers. Just some of the places that have been mentioned here in the past.
