Thanks ya'll.
@VK - I don't know what others were saying, as I was not there. I entered by proxy (my name and work, with someone else entering the models for me). Although, it is usually quite a conversation, with most non-believers having to actually hold them for proof!

WOW !
Great job Ray. Incredible that a paper model beat plastic. Well, you had an advantage - you built the paper model!

There are things you can do with paper that you can't do well at small scales in other media. Of course I'm preaching to the choir.

You have it right there Vermin_King! That is the HUGE advantage paper has over plastic - and the fact you don't have to be an artist to make a great looking model. I know the CZ MiG gets a lot of respect for the incredible small size (How does Texman do it?) combined with that wild camo scheme. I think that model would be incredibly difficult (maybe nearly impossibly difficult) to do with paint on plastic. And if you look close, that model has panel lines, rivets, and weathering - all designed in. How can you do that at 1/144 scale with paint? Ya, I'll take paper over plastic any day and every day of the week.

Interesting thread. From a designers POV we embarked a long time ago on the construction of aircraft in 1/144 scale, the 1/72 and finally 1/48. For precisely the reasons stated , the advantage of small scales, we started with 1/144. Only when we had created a lot of designs and airport buildings did we face abandoning them completely for a larger scale..So easy to scale down from a modelers perspective but small scale not where you should design..
