Howdy Bunker,

Well, to borrow a phrase from that other GEEDUBBYA (Geo. Bush), it was the "shock and awe" of how much detail and how much they look like plastic kits or the real thing depending on you point of view or perspective, that got me interested in card modeling.
The models I have shown above are all beautiful in their own right, but I have seen lighted C 130 transport planes made from paper, Armored half tracks with 4 50mm guns that looked just like the real thing, rust, mud and all.
Currently over at http://cardmodels.net/ the photo of the week is a tank that would give a plastic kit a run for its money....speaking of which, I would be willing to bet that this particular card model tank would be a whole lot cheaper than its plastic counterpart.
Anyway, it kinda like they say about crack cocaine, do it one time and you are hooked. Well, I built one and I am hooked.

have a good day ,

Greg aka GW
