Hello, I'm Chad. I am fairly new to papermodeling. I am a stay at home dad & have enjoyed building various plastic models & a number of Estes model rockets over the last 30 years or so. I started building paper models last April when I happened to stumble onto some free paper model websites. I had no idea there were so many. I am not very tech savvy, so the skill it takes to put these models into a printable format is just amazing to me. I am interested in anything Star Trek,Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5 (pretty much anything sci-fi) & sailing ships. I have only built a few so far, & I am slowly building some dioramas to hang from the ceiling in my woodshop(according to genre). I hope to post some pictures soon. I am very open to suggestions or ideas on modeling techniques. I have chubby, arthritic fingers, & some of my models haven't turned out so pretty. So, please bear with me. Thanks, Chad
