Big hello from Deep River

Hello paper fanatics. Greetings from Deep River Ontario. Last month I found the craft of paper modelling quite by accident when doing some research for a plastic model. I was intrigued! I didn’t know these models existed. I am at that stage in life where I am looking for a hobby and a distraction from work! I found this site today while surfing for some help. I started the DN USS Oregon as my first model. I look forward to the challenge! I have learned so much today looking through some of the forums. Big thanks to the people providing help and encouragement.

I'll second that. Hello, Skyhawk.

Hello FRD and Philip. Thanks for the welcome. I hit my first hurdle. Attaching the stern tube is presenting problems. I keep trying. I printed a few copies of the sheet - so - I persevere.

I'm glad to see another plastic modeler convert come on board. I stumbled across Fiddlers' Green a few years back, which lead me here. Be advised; paper is more addictive than plastic!

Sorry about the orientation of the pics. The originals are in the correct orientation. I do not know how to edit?

it has some suggestions on how to keep the pictures in their proper orientation
