I discovered the forum by accident. For years I've gone from 1/35 scale and larger static models to r/c planes (which wound up nose first most of the time in 6 inches of hard packed dirt), to r/c cars (I've got one that will top off at between 75 and 100 mph without breaking a sweat), and back to plastics. I work at building WWII subjects, and have recently discovered Wingnut Wings (bankrolled by Peter Jackson of "Lord of the Rings" and "the Hobbit" fame) and have purchased some WWI kits from them. They're out of New Zealand.
As I was surfing I discovered these awesome looking models and then realized that they were paper! I got to thinking that since my wife's snarling again at $90 for a 1/12 Formula 1 kit I just purchased, maybe this could be something we could do together. She likes working with paper, does origami, rubber stamping, and all sorts of crafts.
I would love to hear any suggestions (other than sell the wife and buy more kits. That was a suggestion on another forum, along with "buy all you want and send them to me") as to how to get started. What tools you might suggest, and sites with downloads we can cut our teeth on!
