Hello from Sweden

Hi, I just recently realized there were such a thing called papercraft. I am an avid roleplayer and GM and I realized a lot of props and miniatures could be made with papercraft. And it looked like fun
I'm into sci-fi so i'm probably going to try som star wars models. I would welcome tips on my choice of paper and beginner teqniques.

Welcome !
Both of my Grandmothers came from Sweden and a Cousin currently lives in Tumba.

Use 67 lb. cardstock as a starting point, plain paper is too flimsy.

Most printers can handle 67 lb. cardstock (145gsm - 175gsm).

110 lb.(200gsm) cardstock is good for large models but your printer may not be able to use it.

You can also glue cardboard inside of models to make them stronger.

Good Luck !

Hello to Sweden!

I guessed from your name you were a War Gamer!

There are tons of accessories, buildings and landscapes all for gamers. You will love them!

The ultimate site for wargamers who model with aper must be David Griffen's.

He also has a free Paper Modelling Guide for War Gamers.

One of our Forum members here also makes a fine range of interesting wargaming buildings...
