card models

I've never built a card model before, but here's some links:

I've built a couple of them - though not recently. Some of those things are really amazing. The warship and aircraft kits made by Wilhelmshaven, of Germany, frequently have parts counts that number well up in the hundreds. And their ships are notoriously accurate.

Like any other segment of the model industry, the paper model lines vary quite a bit. I've seen some that are pretty awful. But others are astonishingly sophisticated. They definitely are worth the serious modeler's attention.
