Howdy guys,

I just wanted to make sure that Ya'll knew that was not my model of the F 15. This Model was constructed by "Fluthecrank". It is a 1:32 scale model produced by Dr Zarkhov over at http://www.card-models.com/ .
This is one of the best F 15's I have seen as far as detail, but then again, Dr Zarkhov is known for the detail in his model kits.
Now ya'll see what I mean when I say "You can't tell them from plastic until you pick them up".
Stop by Dr Z's website and look over his selection of models and you will see just how detailed paper can be.

EDIT: Howdy again guys, I just re read some of the posts in this thread and I want to say that like wonwinglow, I am not a purist either, in papercard or in plastic. My "bread tie twist" antennae and fishing line for guywires and hydraulic lines on both paper and plastic are sure giveaways that I will use what works for me.
As for not building in card because you cant "get into it", there is nothing wrong with that, I dont build in balsa, but I still like to look. lol.
I majored in commercial art/advertising in school and I instead of sitting behind a desk somewhere doing that type work, I followed m grandfathers trade and became a machinist. But before that I was a carpenter, before that I was in school building things from clay in art class as well as drawing and painting and sketching. The way I look at it is that I have worked in different mediums until I am ready to move onto another one ie.... sketch lead to drawing which lead to painting which lead to sculpting which lead to woodwork which lead to metal work. In my mind its all a natural progression, to others there are those who think "why doesn't he stick with one thing?"
To those people, I would only say that "variety IS the spice of life".
and trying something different doesnt mean giving up something else. But when you try something different, you gain an appreciation for others work in that field.
Ok, I have rambled on enough and I just got back from physical therapy for my neck so I am hurting. I will be back on abit later.

Have a godd day,

Greg aka GW
