Hi everybody

[RogerYoung]

actually, paper models are just my current phase in scratch building.
My main motivation is to build models fit to use on the table for Warhammer 40k.
Some 15 years ago i made my first attempts in building 40k models with paper templates - just that i used plasticard then.
Since roughly 2 years, i have shifted to paper. That is because i started an Imerial Guard/Astra Militarum force... and, no offense meant, i strongly dislike the Games Workshop designs.
So... i made my own with a line of tanks based on a Halo inspired tank design i found on the net.


However... they are only mostly made of paper. Approximately 98%.
Painting and weathering the models after building is apparently also something not that common when using paper as the main material.



It is always confusing to choose a new nickname - so don't be confused if my photos have a watermark with the name "Nostromo". I have been using that name for over 20 years now and a confess being too lazy to rework all photos to show another nickname, so apologies in advance to the local "nostromo"


So... yes, i intend to show my building history here in the near future.


Unfortunately, the first attempt of posting failed due to number of URLs (i have stored the photos elsewhere) and/or forbidden words ... is there a list of those i can check against?

Thanks for the welcome and the offered help.
Ready made templates are something i rarely use - usually for reference or for inspiration.

Usually, i take a completely different approach than using templates.
Most of my models are of my own design - so not only the templates, but the whole design.
Or, in the case of my current project, i squeeze a nice looking STL file through Pepakura and see what i can get out of it.
