Me, Myself and I

Thats a Halinksy published model :) They are one of the highest end highest complexity kit makers out there. That is a gorgeous looking model! Not for beginners! You should see their tanks. The treads alone have HUNDREDS of parts... I got one in the basement in my model box. I will snap a pic to show you in the thread I will be starting soon for paper basics :)

Surfing on the web to find sea harrier details i found this

wow

AH! Cool :) love anything that flies :)

No files used for the flying sr-71 ,just draw it on a paper sheet, cut and glued. and a weight on the nose to help the flyght

need to locate where these planes are stored

Thanks all! What is litter? :)

On a side note we have several people that convert models into RC vehicles, ships, boats, cars and planes. We have one guy that is working on putting a jet engine in his paper RC plane - heat is the main issue for that put is working on that! 

Paper is great for the ships - one guy uses them for fighting because they are easy to reprint and rebuild portions of the ship. Not too hard to waterproof either.

That ST-71 cost 12 bucks.... yours that flies? but Ultra cool! PLEASE let me see a pic of the flying one! :)

Really not bad pieces of paper

( the blackbird in the picture looks good but mine is litter and can fly)

Welcome! You've chosen an interesting medium- and your models look well done! I bet that Edmund Fitzgerald is going to look fantastic as well.

I believe you're the only one here who builds in paper, but we're all modelers first and there's always something to learn on these forums. Enjoy.....

OK!

Here are some of my builds - figure showing these would help introduce me better than running on at the mouth which I tend to do ;)

My KI-115 this was my first fairly complex pre-printed model build:

Pfalz DIII Stallion - this is an electronic download printed at home on my inkjet. First biplane - medium difficulty.

P40 AVG Warhawk Also printed at home on my inkjet. Darn wing root fillets are always my downfall due to a very slight compound curve which is very hard to get right with paper

Finally a simple wild west saloon I use for gaming. I have a whole city built that I can show all the buildings in another thread if anyone would like to see

  Modelling is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, a fate. It is not a weak mind’s hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, and [dinkywongo] of a sound bank account.

so I can just use the link eh? I will give it a try! I do all my own hosting for my biz so storage isnt a concern. I am used to having to wrap the image with tags or something of the sort.... here goes!

I did not build this one but someone mentioned they tried a blackbird I thought it fitting :)  A HAH! gotta use the media insert icon.....

ecard,,   I use phtobucket          It is free and pretty easy to use...  you can store thousands of pics there and it is very easy to repost here, in the forums......  simply load your pics [on photobucket] then copy and paste here,,,,  like this -

Hmmmm how do I put a picture inline or as an attachment to my post? Inline is preferred but an attachment would be fine and dandy too :)

Thanks!

Welcome ecard....  glad to have you with us.          I will echo Rick's comments. We don't care what your build medium is,,, as long as you're building       AND, posting photos!!

All the best..........

Welcome!!  I look forward to seeing some pics of the WIP.  I honestly haven't heard to much of paper-models.  Good luck!

Wellcome on Ecard

Myself builded some aircraft paper, before to start with plastic kits about 25 years ago, not printed, i draw by myself , some invented and some almost real (remember a real flining sr-71 and a like super guppy one)

but none painted or with intention to be realistic look, just flyng tests and they really flying good

Also i remember to see in a modelling enciclopedy a spanish ship modeller that used paper to build ships better than kits!! (at least for the period, before PE parts avaible )

waiting to see some of your builds

Sure thing! I will get a build thread going at some point here - might get me to speed up the build a little ;)

I came across some paper-model "books" at a local shop, aircraft carriers & battleships printed in Sweden iirc. Scared the  out of me just thinking about trying to assemble that sort of thing!! Welcome aboard, and as Rick mentioned, try to show us what you are up to.

Welcome ecard,  Paper, plastic, wood, metal, we'll look at 'em all.  You soon find out that photography plays an important role in arousing interest.  Keep us up on what you 're doing.    Rick.
