Card models ??
Posted by lolok on Wednesday, November 19, 2003 2:02 PM
Anyone ever done any paper/card models? I ask because I have noticed here in Poland a large and very active interest in card modelling. I suppose that during the communist era plastic kits were rubbish and card modelling was a good substitute. You can buy any type of ship tank aircraft etc. They also sell things like wooden road wheels for your paper tiger. They are very detailed and the scales various,how about a 1/100 Bismark or Titanic! The sailing ships are works of art and here as well you can buy brass cannons and wooden masts to replace the card for a stronger build. You can get 1/100 turned aluminium barrels for the Bismark!! There are many architectural subjects as well.

I don't think I've ever heard of things like this... are they like these 3D jigsaw puzzles i see every once in a while? hmmm... the closest thing i've done to that is a balsa wood velociraptor (too bad you can't add aftermarket parts to that!). Smile [:)]

I built and rigged the Fiddlers Green Morain Bullet model. I shrank it down to 1/144 scale in Photoshop and printed it out two to a page so I'd have some spare parts if I messed up. :D

I have their Bristol F2.b (Biff) ready to go too. That's a true biplane, so rigging will be a little harder, but I'm game to giving it a try.

Regards,
