Hello,
I'm JP from Rome, Italy... just registered to this forum.
I'm a ship modeler (static models) since I was 20 (now I'm over 50) and until 6-7 years ago I always scratch-builted my ship models using "traditional" materials (wood, metal, plastic, etc..) mainly in scale from 1:75 to 1:100.
My preferred subjects where the warships in the age from 1830 until early years of 1900, where the transition from sails to steam brought to naval building of the most interesting (from my point of view) and ugliest warship ever built..
In the last 7 years, less or more, I discovered the pleasure of paper modeling and so I've started the adventure in this field, where I have found a large number of subjects that can be built as a paper model.
So, since far, I leaved on the shelf my old "traditional" approach of ship modeling and I started to build many paper models, acquiring knowledge and techniques model after model.
I'm happy to be here, in this Forum and I hope to learn more also from other paper modelers from all over the world.
Happy paper modeling !
Ciao
