Greetings fellow zealots!
As a kid, I used to LOVE putting together plastic models. However, as years went by, my interests wandered and I no longer did modelling. Fast forward many years and my sons got interested in Warhammer 40K. I had played a bit in it's early years, but back then there was very little modelling associated with it. Today, it is all about plastic and resin model kits.
So, I started modelling again. At first, it was simple conversions, then complex conversions and on to complete scratch builds. Just recently, I decided to try my hand at building some models from Patoroch's templates. I decided that I had probably do a mock-up out of cardstock first before committing to plasticard. Just for kicks, I decided to print out the colored version, just to see what it would look like.
After completing it, I was amazed at the detail and quickly went to build another one.... and another one. Now I am completely hooked on card modelling. So far, all of my models have been for Warhammer 40k, but I am beginning to see other models that pique my interest. Also, my daughter is wanting to start card modelling as well. She has seen all the lovely anime models and is bugging me to teach her how to build them.
