    Help Please!

    Well a bit late, but GPM, Modelik, Betexta, ABC and JSC all have churches. Also, there are quite a few free and paid options if you search for Origamic Architecture.

    Why do you build card models

    Well (without boring you to much) long years ago when I began my career in aviation, I was a metalsmith. To me, card modeling brings the same pleasure and satisfaction of creating a complex shape from a flat pattern. Also, card modeling requires a fair amount of ingenuity to achieve your goal...

    Hello Friends

    Hello Everyone, I have been modeling in card for about 12 years now. I enjoy building a wide variety models from all sorts of manufactures, publishers, and designers. Besides the big eastern European outfits (GPM, Modelik, Shipyard etc.) I greatly enjoy the kits from ABC magazine and WDS...
