Hi,
I'm new to paper models (since the Gulf paper Lunar Module!!!)
I build WW2 1/32nd plastic and am interested in seeing what is out there for a change of pace.

Thanks,
jon

Welcome to the forum. Paper models come in all genres. Just click on the forums tab and it will give you a diverse choice of items. Check out our downloads section and then the links. And finally pick one of our in house sponsors and see what they have for sale.. Plastic is the past, paper is now. Come on in and get hooked. See you in the forums.

Welcome to a new world! A year ago I too made plastic models and thought that the only paper models were dolls, origami, and the planes you'd throw in class. Now I find paper models of all sorts of subjects and items with detail I couldn't believe!

Since I rate myself as a "Professional Amateur", the only advice I can give is that you start with a few simple free download models. That way you can practice without the worry of making "costly" mistakes. I also recommend taking the time to read some of the articles and forums found here. They are all full of great advice and tips.
