Hello...
This site was mentioned on a Model Railroad forum and I'm just astounded by the work here. Congratulations to everyone on some wonderful modeling.....

Welcome to the forum. Are you planning to build some models?

Hey Ken, glad to see you wander over here. Let me warn you, this paper stuff can get addictive quick. That's why I haven't been on the Spotlight board that much lately.

I don't have any Paper Project lined up just yet, but from what I see here (especially that Big Boy) the temptation is VERY great!
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hi Ken. Am I right in assuming you are the same Ken that does tips & tech for SAE?

I think you will find a lot more than just textures here to apply to your dioramas/model railroad projects.

Glad to have you here.

Welcome Ken. I was born and raised off EXIT 9 myself.

There are a lot of great realistic looking buildings built to scale for model railroading too. I also seen quite a few paper locomotives that I wish I could motorize and add to my layouts.

Thanks, Greg & Steven. Yup....that's me doing Tips & Tech.
This whole idea of using printed paper for textures and surfaces on buildings, etc., is really fascinating. With the quality of printing available, I can't tell the difference between flat, printed paper & the real thing without touching the surface.
PLUS, here I find all this incredible "3D" paper & cardstock modeling.
....Amazing.....

Ken,

If you feel like a road trip this weekend check us out at the International Paper Model Convention in Dulles VA.

If you can't make it this year, think about attending next year
