Hello everyone.

New to this forum and this hobby. I have been doing plastic and resin kits for years but the expense has finally gotten to be too much. Tried a paper model and now it is the medium for me.

Welcome - it's the model, not the medium. Paper does have advantages in cost, workability, and detailing (printed, no painting unless you want to; easy to add detail). What's your favorite subject area?

Welcome to the forum. Been there and done that. Started with plastic, resin and scratch building with styrene. Searched the web for scratch building ideas and found paper. Been hooked since then. Economical, easy and forgiving to work with.

So if you have some paper models, how about sharing some photos with us. Run into problems with a model, post the pic and the problem and you should get some constructive advice. Search the forum for build threads for any specific model you may want to build. Somebody may have done a build or tutorial on it and can help you avoid some pitfalls. ENJOY.
