Hello from Darwin Australia

Hi All,

I was recommended to this site by a fellow card modeler as I am interested into getting into card.

My other modeling interests include in plastic 1/32 scale aircraft, 1/350 ships and now have a new interest in wooden ships.

Looking forward to pick up some tips and look at some great builds.

RICHMOND

Welcome to the group. I think you will find a good home here...most of our interests go beyond the paper model realm. I try just about everything I can afford: plastic, stick and tissue balsa, metal, whatever. Enjoy.

What a load of ��, gday Richmond, I am just down the road from you in Townsville, enjoy your time in here mate, this mob are alright. Plenty of tips and tricks in the forums and a few free downloads to get you up and cracking and plenty of links to some good designers. Can be a bit trickier than plastic models because it’s not as rigid but the builds are fun once your up to speed, just don’t let the little tankers fly your Skyraider into the shower it stuffs em fast.

Another Aussie (almost) joins up!

G'Day all.
First of all I am a 75yr old who built (mangled)his first paper model in the late 1940s in Wales. It was an MTB that came in a small envelope. I think it cost ^pence.
Time moves on and I ended up in AU. I now model in a small town in central west NSW called Grenfell, pronounced Grenfll.
I have returned to paper models due to the cost of plastic kits.
I prefer making ship models in the early steam period. Also like early aircraft.
