Dylan2016 hi all.

Hi, i’m A retired kitchen/bathroom/bedroom installer looking for new and interesting challenges. I discovered paper modelling six months ago and i’m Hooked. I’m a bit of an oldie but young in my outlook. I’m really into cosplay weapons and armour and ww2 reproduction firearms. I also make fun things for my young relatives.

Welcome.
You can find some paper models that could be used for cosplay costumes. Might not be very durable in battle action, though.

Welcome. I'm not sure if you have run into the Ravensblight props, yet, but some of these might interest you. Haunted Paper Toys

My son got a lot of mileage out of the Morningstar before it bit the dust. I happened to find a broomstick that was the correct diameter to fit into the handle.

Welcome to our new Welsh friend. You will find plenty of support, encouragement and ideas here.

If you do aerioplanes be aware that anything over 1:100 is frowned upon by the "in" crowd.

Iechyd da boyo. We keep a welcome on the hillside ... we keep a welcome in the vale ... Welcome to the very bestest forum on the web.

At last there's another member in God's country. Wrong end o'course. I'm up north near Snowdon, and hate to admit it, but I'm not Welsh.Just a Cockney incomer who fell in love with the place.
