Welcome my friend!

Some fantastic models at Maquettes de Papier...you'll have fun with those.
If you can't find the right Sprinter van model, let me know. Maybe I can help modify something.

Just a note... I couldn't see this 'how to' until I was verified as a member. 

In your case, you had to verify your account manually.
Most people don't have to do this.
In your case, your IP showed up on a site listing it as a potential spam threat.
But it showed clean on other Blacklist sites.

So, I forced you to verify your account to make sure you are not a bot.

Before you registered, you would have been able to view this area, as I have shown above.
Maybe, during the verification process, your access is limited...? I'm not sure.

But as you can see my screengrabs above, when I logged out of my account, I could still see this section.

Not sure what to say....I just logged out and viewed the forum, and yet....

Wow, there are some neat models there, thanks again! 

Thanks!

That model is roughly 1:48 because I intended to make some buildings for a vintage Big Loader automated toy set. It is about 1:48 and the people fit nicely. This led to starting to build paper stuff again. I previously built quite a bit of wood and paper 1:24 stuff to go with my trains. That ended when we moved, I lost the room for the train layout. The 1:24 things have been relegated to storage for now. 

I want to stick with 1:48 (O scale) or HO scale since I have a ton of models and figures I built or bought for HO. Also, I can model in On30 or HO and use the bits I have.

The next build will be a Christmas gift for my son (who is a disabled Iraq war Veteran). It will be based around a 1:48 UPS Sprinter. We have a Sprinter that carries his wheelchair. I thought a house and garage and UPS delivery van would make a neat diorama.

So, either of those 2 scales, but I've figured out how to scale plans using a bit of software on my ipad. I only use the iPad, so it is rather limiting, but it works. I made a transparent 'scale' that I hold up to the screen before printing.

Do you have a preferred scale?

Thanks for letting me join! I've recently started playing with paper and glue again, after a few years off from the hobby. I'm 75 (and I really am an old miner) and getting slower by the day, so this is a way for me to have fun without moving much.

This is my first stab at building a model for a while. It is a work in progress, obviously, but it is a good practice project for me. I started with the little Assay Office kit from the net and have been adding and modifying it.

More as I work on it.

There's a weird long story about why I needed a moose... 

Thanks for the consideration - I'll take a looksee.  I threw together a figure flat, but a 3rd moose would be much cooler... 

I saw one big model of a moose - and if that's the one you built - yeah, that's WORK.  Way beyond my skill level (and patience) right now!  I'll check out the elk.  I could make it work!
