A small intro

Hello fellolw modelers.

My name is Mike and I'm new to paper modelling but it has been a rewarding hobby the past 2 months. I check the boards here every few days or so and I must say that this is one of the most helpful and supportive sites I have ever visited. The info here is great and the how-to etc have allowed me to learn how to do some of my own HW ships (mostly re-creates) and figure out the software side of the process. I've built over a dozen ships so far that I hope to post soon.

Well I just wanted to say hello and hope that the HW mythos carries on.

Cheers!
Mike

PS. I downloaded the Sajuuk pdo this morning....man that thing is freakin' huge...can't wait to sink my teeth into that one!!!

stewhead,

Hey dude I'm codieray and like you I'm new to the forum but not new to modeling. Your right about the cost of plastic models and besides the avaliable subject matter is very limited. Now take paper models the only limitation is your imagnation. I too have gotten hooked on Homeworld. Alll the ship are great and it's really hard to pick the next one to build. I hoping to get tha computer part of the process down so I can great some models of my own. Well enough great to have you onboard look forward to talking with some more later.

Hi

Welcome to the boards.

I've been hanging here for a few years in a kind of hit and miss way. Real life keeps interfering and other interests intrude. But its a great plkace and you learn a hell of a lot about bsome of the most intertesting modelling out there.

When oil costs push styrene out of the market the paper modellers will still be hanging in there. ;D

Thanks for the greets all!

Yes, I was/am a big time styrene modeler and when the cost of kits getting way outta control (both armor and aircraft alike) I was looking for something a little "cheaper". Another expensive hobby was the GW stuff - but thats a whole different story.

I found out about paper modeling on the Hyperscale board (some guy posted the link in a message) and for the last few months I haven't looked back. I have built paper models all the way

I'm looking forward to learning more but still working on my techniques for build and creating. This place seems like the best home for this as the tutorials and the how-to posts are excellent.

Thanks!

Paper/Card modelling is wayyyyyyyyyy cheaper than GW! I did lord of the rings for a bit but its SOOOOO EXPENSIVE
Homeworld is better by a long shot
