When I am not wargaming, or doing graphic design for games, I build paper (card-stock) models. Any other paper modellers around here?
I've got a few downloaded here, but haven't put them together yet. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to it
I've done a few buildings but not much else. There is a great paper/card modeling site called Fiddler's green (http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/) that has lots of cool stuff, including many aircraft, for sale.
I have waaay more than I will ever have time to build. Mostly simple designs; I don't have the ablity to put together a model with 1,000 parts! The last one I made up had around 35 parts or so. It was a RCAF Sikorsky R-5. Not sure what I will build next. I am about 1/4 of the way through re-colouring a CF-100 but I have run out of steam on that project.(https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-0/p526x395/11538152_10207340203246483_2598364657098722031_o.jpg)
Fiddlers Green is an amazing site! I actually have a subscription to it and have Every model.

Nice! O0
And Fiddler's Green is very cool. Thanks for the link!
If anyone wants to try a Fiddlers Green model just let me know. I am always happy to get someone else into the hobby.
I actually have some unbuilt vintage cardstock model sheets of Dutch windmills which I framed and hung up as decoration in my house.
I also had plates from FG of both Henry David Thoreau's Walden cabin and the Colditz POW escape glider which were lost in a move.
I built both of those! They got sent to the circular file years ago. But I still have the pdfs. Thats the beauty of downloadable paper models- if you mess up or want to build it again, just print up another one.
I started a T-72 and then for some reason I got sidetracked....gotta give it another go !
Hey Avrotim,
Over the years I've built a number of paper models. I built a few english buildings (coach house, manor house, and gothic church) and the Mig-15, F-86 and Panther F9F from Fiddlersgreen. Canon papercraft also has lots of good free models. I started building but never finished the Arc de Triomphe. I was considering building a "simple" version of the 1/200th scale fletcher class destroyer from digitalnavy for an upcoming convention featuring a Wings of War/Glory tournament, but I simply don't have the time.
FWIW last year I played a game of Air War C21 featuring Vietnam war aircraft. Great fun...and quite cheap for the game-master to put together.
Yours in gaming,
Jack Nastyface
