I have mostly modeled with balsa in the past. I am looking forward to trying out some paper models

Welcome aboard. If you have built in the past with balsa, the same procedures can be transferred over to paper, only you may have to laminate the paper to the thickness of the balsa sheet for the framework and heavy card stock paper for the skin. Enjoy and hope to see some of your works soon. See you around the forums.

Welcome! You should find paper modelling similar, but the graphics potential is eye opening.

hi ya vonfilm,
I was in Austin in 2007 - I really liked your town. It certainly has a lot of character..
