Paper Models

One of my favorite pass times is model building. While most of my time is spent building injection molded plastic or resin models, I've fallen pretty hard for paper modeling. Unlike plastic models, paper models start out as 2-dimensional representations printed on heavy card-stock. A few swipes of the X-Acto knife and a dab of glue here and there and those 2-dimensional parts become beautiful 3-dimensional scale models.

One of my favorite sites for paper models is Fiddlers Green and check out the wonderful Saturn V. There are hours of fun to be had with paper models and what's more, the cost can't be beat. Many of the models are available free, and many more at are very low cost. Fiddlers Green sells their entire line-up for $25 and that's dozens of models.

Here are some links to get you started...
