Howdy Russell,

Ok........cardmodel furniture huh? No problem! First let me give you this link to 5 Pages of furniture and misc. items, (although they might not be the exact scale you want (we'll discuss scaling in a few minutes).

http://www.3dpapermodel.com.tw/

When you get to this page, there is an option for english, this will only give you english descriptions but go ahead and click it. Then, provided you are on the home page, if you will look down the left side of the page you will see links to various types of card models, furniture is one of the links. If you see something you want, just click on the photo of the model, if however, that doesnt work, the website link will be righ beside the photo and you can click that too (sometimes the pics work, sometimes they dont).

Next, try this link:

There are alot of links to card models of furniture here, juct click a link.

And next, try this site:

http://www.icebergbouwplaten.nl/index.html

Once on this link, click "english" then on the next page you will find links to various card models, Under the heading of "buildings", you will find "Furniture" click on that.

Now all of the above sites are great for not only cardmodel furniture, but for most any card model you could want, aircraft, armor, automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, doll houses, sci-fi etc.. so, you might want to make them favorites.

Now onto scaling a card model, this is the tricky part because what I have always done in the past was print out a page of the model, determine how big it already is and how big I actually want it.
Then using my photo editing program would increase or decrease the size as needed. Usually I build aircraft so I cant really tell you the best way to scale furniture unless you can find a piece that you can relate to an actual piece of furniture.
Alot of times cardmodel designers will state the scale of the model on their work, then its a matter of determining how much bigger or smaller you need it.

I hope these help, they were the easiest sites to get you started in your search.

Have a good day,

Greg aka GW
