Question:

Lately when I visit this site, if I click on download I am randomly redirected to anything from parental advice pages to the yellow pages?

Is this just my little computer?

I just went there and downloaded 3 models. The Airbus Cebu is awesome.

I think you have Malware, I had no redirects, and that is symptomatic of an infected computer. I had no problem downloading the models, and the downloads were instantaneous!

Did you ever crave for a steam card stick model of a train. The kind that use to be moving across the tracks of the US. A old fashion train locomotive. Black with lots of detail and do-dads. Oh, did I mention free? I have seen a few but nothing yet that hits the mark. A model you would mind placing on the mantle above the fire place. Ya know what I mean. Something in years from now I would be able to build. Maybe.

This Little Locomotive comes out really nice when done. It is perfect for scaling up. It's not what you were describing but those trains were loud monstrous beautiful hulks of machinery. I have seen paper models, but I think the detail is something you would have to expand on yourself, though with the models even at Paper-Replika, this could be done. They have some nice train models there. The locomotives are a bit simplistic. It is so hard to even get models in the U.S., any super accurate train model will probably be a scan.

I was clicking on the highlighted words, not going to the bottom link.

Thanks for the help...

Probably how he makes a buck. It would be worth clicking on them to give him the hits!!

I just browsed the site awhile and got the right pages with every click. I can't imagine he's misdirecting with links. That's very bad website practice. I suspect the misdirections were unintentional.

I never got any misdirects, but only click on the actual download links, never went exploring. With all he gives away, I wouldn't begrudge him some way of making a buck. He sure doesn't make them off the models!

No, this was my foolishness. I just clicked in the wrong places.

Too much Jamesons...

If there is such a thing...

I was going by the hat!

I try not spill any on my hat, but there have been a few St. Patty Days where I woke up, glad for the built in gutter system....





An Irishman is never drunk, remember, so long as he can reach out and hold himself securely to the planet by a single blade of grass, and thereby not topple into the sky above.

That's only happened a few times to me.

Since I live in the "so called 3rd world" (don't worry, no offense taken), I think I am entitled to disagree. At least here, we pay high prices for low-quality internet. I mean, I have a reasonably almost-decent internet connection, but the prices are "ohmygoshly" high, when compared to other parts of our floating space rock.
But going back to Paper Replika, I agree it's a great site, and I am actually trying to assemble Julius Perdana's Iron Man Mark 7. I think his model is the greatest, when it comes to Iron Man, and I wish he would make a Mark 6, my favorite. Is he a member of Zealot?

It's good to here from you Rogerio. I've often suspected South America had access issues. I've sold a huge variety of thing on eBay over the years, shipping to all continents-- except South America. I've never even had and inquiry from there. Paper modeling is about the only area in interest in which I've encountered South Americans on the web. Of course, one of my favorite model bloggers/designers lives down that way, Mauther.
