Hello from North Texas!

Well!

        You probably will be a great Modeler with all the other skills you already have. Try a paper model too! Oh, and Welcome!!

Well, welcome to the forum, SMT!  I look forward to seeing your builds!

Best regards,

Yes, with all the various papers and cardstocks I already have in my studio, I plan to start with a few paper models.  I need to find a good air printer to get going...

Thanks Space Ranger!  I'm in Celina (moving to Nevada, TX in a few months) and he's in Sherman.  It might be November before I can get to the meeting in Irving.  Do you bring builds that you've recently completed (or working on) to 'show and tell' at the meeting?

Welcome aboard  I guess it's too late to warn you off about that Model Crazy guy.... the rest of the bunch here is not too bad either. 

Welcome aboard the Crazy Train SMT!  You dabble in fiber?  We got ya covered!

Paper is an amazing and fun medium!  I picked up a book on how to make bugs out of tissue paper and want to give it a try:

So that's the short tour of the insane asylum.  We now return you to the regularly scheduled programming, and look forward to seeing your work.

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...I've never thought of doing butterflies (my FAVE creature) from tissue paper!  Where did you find the book?

Yepper, a little too late for warnings about ModelCrazy!  I look forward to getting to know y'all better and seeing your builds.

Oh ha-ha, I AM the cootie spreader!    Apologies to Model Crazy, it's what I do.

Here ya go:

Realistic Insects Made with Tissue: Basic Pseudotorynorrhina Japonica, Beetles, Swallowtail Butterfly, Migratory Locust | HLJ.com

This guy uses only tissue paper, so obviously he has a mind towards purity of form and such, and is thus a true craftsman/artist.  I on the other hand, am not averse to using anything to attain my goals, kind of like the shady guy in an alley going "Psst.  Wanna buy a book on paper insects?"  

Welcome aboard!  Looking forward to seeing your builds.

LOL - I am dying over here! 

Being from the mixed media world, I'm not averse to using ANYTHING to attain my goals either.

The book is currently out of print...drats! There are a couple on eBay, but I will scour around for some free 'beginner' videos first.

Bring whatever you like: Finished models, works in progress, newly released kits/decals/aftermarket parts/books, etc., that may not have been generally seen. Ideas for programs of interest also welcome!

Oh dear!  Me...rational?  At a vendor table?   I'm afraid 'enabler' is more my style!
