Glen, I absolutely agree, paper modeling allows anyone the ability to build what ever they desire w/in reasonable cost. It is for that reason I find card models so appealing. Here is a good example. I do not at the current time know the price of a 1:200 Paper Yamoto, so lets go with the Fuso, $64.00 plus postage, now lets look at a 1:200 Plastic Yamoto. The last time I purchased one of these, she set me back $400.00
. That's a lot of paper kits and as much bag for the buck. So again, I agree, this allows the fellow with the limited budget to enjoy the art of modeling with out busting the bank.
