Then it's not a paper model
Other than that, I'm totally . I really have no words to express my appreciation (especially when I'm thinking at the wheels on my models, which look more like cylinders in pain) |

Plastic models incorporate just about every other material you can think of including carbon composites. Metal models include plastic and rubber. Therefore, a paper model is allowed to incorporate other materials and still be considered a paper model. I challenge anyone to search the Bible, Koran, Ten Commandments, Magna Carta, Bahagavad Gita, Upanishads, Treaty of Paris, the Sears Catalogue or any other official document that prohibits or declares heretical the use of other materials in a paper model. To declare so is just hubris of the most simplistic nature. If one chooses to use paper to simulate anything such as I-beams, cylindrical rods, aircraft blown canopies, etc, then kudos! If, on the other hand, one chooses to use alternate materials to achieve those shapes, then kudos to them, too! It's just a model, not the Cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified. Now, fellow paperians, that's how you rant!

In my youth, defunct valves from car tires became re-used as parts of of belt-fed machineguns that went on, in, or alongside various vehicle models.
Fragments of sprue were shaved down to be reassembled as firearms. This, in 1:48, 1:72, 1:76, 1:87, 1:100, and 1:144. I had no compunction at raiding mom's sewingbox for bent or blunted needles or pins, nor at raiding the stationary drawer for paperclips and staples. Suitably disguised, all of these items eventually found employ in various of the models I'd built. I'd have no hesitation in employing similar items where I felt it necessary in a paper model. Maj. Charles my friend, I'm in agreement with you regarding hubris being an oversimplification. As for what our colleague Di-3 has achieved with the springs from the lighter: I admire such ingenuity. Kind and Respectful Regards my friends, Uyraell.

NAVIGA/ Class S-7. Models from a cardboard and paper.
Cardboard models are the models made manually of a cardboard (or papers are more dense than 80 g/m ²) or papers, from sets on sale in trade (the goods from trade). Cuts can be painted over. For improvement of model it is authorized to carry out completions and to use other materials. If necessary documents of a design are attached. Thus model signs from a cardboard should be kept: visible details of the case, the superstructures corresponding to a set. New coloring of model isn't allowed. If changes are made, it is necessary to confirm them with presented documentation or photos. Change of scale is authorized, however the copy of the original should be presented. |

There ya go. You can use other materials and still be considered a paper model. If find it interesting that the rule identifies cardboard models as those from "sets on sale in trade." This must be a rule older than the internet because downloads are not included. Where did you find this?

This is a very nice design and the build quality is superb - love the use of a spring for the gear, very nice indeed
