| photos included this time lol
Howdy Guys,
Yes RJ, I realized that the first time I posted it, then I deleted the thread I thought, then when I saw I hadnt, I tried again. So I am going to post the pics as attached images this time. But first, I would like to comment on something Barry said.
"To understand card construction we just need to see how the real thing is made,alloy sheets on aeroplanes,metal cladding on ships etc so why not flat sheets cut and manipulated into our models ?"
I dont think I could have said it better. With card models, you need different skills than with prefabricated plastic parts. This is not to take away anything from plastic kits, they are both great hobbies and a person can do both.
But, like Barry, I think many people outside of "old europe" look down on card models due to the fact they are not "high tech". However, in the short time I have been building card models, I have seen hundreds of newcomers to the hobby in the other forum I often speak of. And with the price of plastic kits ( I just spent $130.29 lastnight on 5 kits online), I believe more and more people will find that card models are a great alternitive not replacement for plastic kits.
Anyway, as promised, here are the photos, notice the detail, and when you look at them, see if you can see why I say "They look almost just like a plastic kit."
Have a good day,
Greg aka GW
ps. REMEMBER, ALL THE PHOTOS BELOW ARE OF PAPER MODELS
