Howdy Guys,

This posting is mainly for nigel, but I invite anyone who is interested or just curious, to read this and follow the link.

Nigel, I see in your "signature" you are looking for a large scale seafury? or a car? Anyway, I am also a "papermodeler", one who builds 3d models out of paper. Models that you print off on your own printer, cut out and glue together. Some look like plastic models until you pick them up, thats how detailed they can be.
Anyway, back to the seafury, a Model designer friend of mine has a free download of a 1:48 scale British Seafury Paper cardmodel, below is a photo of the completed model:



If the image didnt work, dont worry you can see and download the model in .pdf format at this link:

http://www.thaipaperwork.com/

He has several free downloads of his work availible on his site. If anyone is interested in card models, let me know and I can send you links to hundreds of freebies. Some are more realistic than others, but some are not.
Below is a photo of one card model I did, its a Cessna 170 Skyhawk made entirely of paper.

have good day,

Greg aka GW

Cool Nigel,


There are paper or "cardmodels" as they are called of anything you can think of, anything from a C 130 hercules to the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier (its a freebie too). There are cars, trucks, missiles, space craft, (both real and sci fi), trains, buildings, you name it, there is a model of it.
Anyway, let me know what you think, I enjoy both hobbies myself, (plastic kits and paper kits).

Have a good day,


Greg aka GW
