I am a paper modeler. I make toys and models of many objects that i like out of paper or cardstock. It's kinda like plastic modeling, but instead of plastic, paper is used. this is a wonderful hobby that is inexpensive, fun, challenging and fulfilling to do(at least for me). I wish to introduce this hobby to all of you out there. many papermodels are already available through the internet, and many of them are FREE FREE FREE! make object from animals to spacecrafts! Just google in "paper models" or "card models" and open your world to this aged old hobby that has always been out there since paper was invented. be amazed with what can be done with some paper, scissors and glue! Build something just for fun or for any other many useful reasons and feel the fulfillment of accomplishment. I hope you like this hobby. Please do share what you think.

Well, as children most of us have tried paper modelling, and my favourites were making a boat, a plane, cap, flowers, etc. But I loved preparing models of aeroplane or glider through paper, and they were really big ones, around 2-3 feet long. Once I even tried preparing a paper balloon around 4 feet high. And to make it fly, supplied burning coal at the bottom. Although I tried to avoid it from burning it eventually went into become ash. That was a big adventure of my life!!
