And all of that finally brings me to Papercraft. If it hadn't been for my daughter's science project during the school's "Space Week" I probably would still be in complete ignorance of this side of modelling. There are no stores in my area which sell anything beyond decotage and card making...

I also mentioned that I play around with 3DCG. That has been a "hobby" for several years. Mostly because it's one of the few ways I can make things that I want to make, which simply aren't available in any other medium. I suppose I could learn to sew and make clothing and stuff for Action Man...

I think I mentioned that I was into Plastic modelling as well, so for the sake of completeness (aside from those visible in the bounty photo above), a couple more of my efforts with the old plastic stuff. My son is quite heavily into Warhammer, so in order to teach him the futility of...

Another highly complex but eminently satisfying build was a Fokker DR1. Again a partworks, and I have no images of it beyond this as it's currently stored in the roof. I must dig it out and finish the thing. No matter what the wife says about it's size. The lump behind the wings and...

I'm not sure at this point if something went wrong. There "were" a bunch of posts awaiting approval but now they seem to have disappeared. Hopefully I didn't do something wrong and delete them.

Sorry about this, it appears that the earlier posts got lost somewhere in the vast reaches of virtual space. Having to catch up to keep things a bit orderly Build images of the Bismark. My apologies as there are quite a few Oh, I forgot. One image of...

More recently as I mentioned above, I've been working on a 1/100 Bismark. I don't have many photos of this model in progress and none of it complete (I'll take a few when I get it back.) So, the following is all I have to show for it at the moment...

Another partworks that I fell in love with was the RMS Titanic in 1/100. The partworks ran for almost two years and while expensive, comes in close to the cost of buying the model from the supplier, with the added bonus of a tremendous amount of related information and a ton of photographs...

Wood Modelling is one thing that I've enjoyed the most. It is messy, very, and the wife does get a tad miffed at me sometimes - some such thing about dust or similar. I keep telling her she should buy me a shed, but I always get the response "stop buying kits and you can have a shed." Yeah...

While I wouldn't precisely describe myself as a control freak, I do like to control things. RC has long held a fascination for me, and building my own RC toys has been extremely enjoyable. Just wish I had more time to play with them. I'm working on a Nitro Spitfire (slowly) which I'll show...

Thanks, I've already found so much that is "ooh, shiny" that I suspect I'll be busy for many years. So much to do, so little time to do it. ;) My biggest problem is that I am very easily distracted from current projects. Not that things never get finished, but while I put things to the side...

There is a wealth of information available for building paper models, this is true. As for spending years building a model, not a problem. The Titanic I made (I will post a few images later when I've dug them out of the darker corners of my hard drives) took three years to complete (this...

Front Mission 4 - BlizzaiL and Zenith are available at various blogs and sites on the net if anybody is interested. Blizzai and Zenith can be downloaded from Blizzai and Zenith with instructions and optional weapons. Download links for these mechs are to the Square Enix website, it's just a...

Sorry guys, I was buried in some of the threads here and didn't notice the replies until now. In response to lehcyfer. Impressive model at the link, amazing to think it's just card and bits. Paper modelling does not seem like an evening stroll. Card/paper is a very different medium to...

Thanks. I'll have to look into posting pics and how much ridicule I can stand as a result :)

It seems such a little thing to say Hi to everybody - from a rock off the south coast of the UK - and let you all know that another drooling idiot and leech has appeared. I have no clue how much if anything I can contribute to the site as this is all pretty new to me. I have some experience...
