very nice..............keep thinking about having a go at a paper model but keep chickening out

Some are more difficult than others. They are easier as scale modelers because we have nice tools to use on them, and although they are not easy, and are different from plastic models, they are in one way more forgiving --as you can always just print another. Give it a shot!! Nothing to lose

These are all gorgeous Arkon!  :thumbsup: I love paper models because they can be such stunning beauties  :thumbsup: Great fix on the star destroyer! seemless!!

as taiidan says they are pretty simple( at least most that i have done) and you can just reprint it if you screw up( i had a trash can full when i started). just print the black n white ones or in grey scale when first starting so you dont waste color ink. iget most of mine from fiddlersgreen.net  or at papercraftmuseum.com

I always admire the paper/card modellers stand at the Milton Keynes show every year. Always sorely tempted to bite the bullet and try one
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

OK. That's it. Where the feth did my fiancee leave her knitting needles? Seriously, arkon, you build better models from sheets of paper than I can even dream of building from plastic kits that come with instructions. Keep up the great work.

Paper modeling is so cool, and you make it look way too easy. I've had this incredible 1:1 paper model of the M41 rifle from Aliens on my comp for ages, never had the guts to try it.
