Member Introductions and Information / Hello from Central Florida
Last post by billmcc - November 15, 2022, 10:36:42 AM
Greetings from Central Florida.

I started making paper models about 20 years ago, but I stopped after a couple years because life got in the way. I retired a couple weeks ago, so now I have a lot of time to devote to paper modeling.

I am enjoying this forum because Dave and others share a lot of good information and techniques.

Welcome!  I played around with the Raspera moose once, rescaling it to 30mm.  I wouldn't wish that build on anyone.

If you haven't discovered the OneMonk Downloads, yet, you should explore all the treasures to be found.  I would draw your attention to Vermin King's Labs, in particular.  And the Hoards.  I know I have an Irish Elk in there somewhere.

New to papercrafting - it all came about in a roundabout way.  I've been pressed by my friends to start running a Savage Worlds game... Haven't run a tabletop RPG since 1st edition ADnD DECADES AGO (yeah, old fart here) so I figured I'd do a One-Shot to get used to the system... then  decided I needed to run a test combat to get used to the system.

So I needed a MOOSE.

But I had no moose "figure flat"... so I searched for paper figures and paper models and would up in this whole world I never knew existed.

So now I'm making buildings and scenery and still no moose, but WHO CARES??!!  I found an EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle!  Who needs a moose?  My players are in more trouble than they bargained for now.  :)

Anyway, so THANK YOU for doin what you do!  And if I ever piece together something worth looking at, I'll post it or share a website (eventually thinking about setting one up)

Rock on!

Hello, my name is Cam.  I live in Ontario, Canada.  I have not constructed anything recently in paper modelling.  Several years ago, I built 2 Fiddler's Green airplanes.  They were not a success - all due to my limited skills.  My heart lies with the models from Gerry Anderson's "Supermarionation" shows.  In adulthood now, my favorite is "Captain Scarlet".  I would love to be able to model the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle (SPV)  and the Maximum Security Vehicle (MSV) in card stock.  I'm trying to find an existing model of each as I am incapable of designing the parts myself.  Thank you and best wishes.

Welcome!  And I am the worst at aircraft.  I usually build three of something to get one that looks passable.

Greetings Cam,

    From what you described it sounds as though you are still searching. If you click on KoolWheelz button and then click on SpaceCarz on the left side your search has ended. Not only will you find all three of Dave's wonderful Gerry Anderson KoolWheelz vehicles you mentioned, you will also find a bonus Angel Interceptor, an Eagle from Space 1999 and a whole lot more KoolWheelz vehicles in many categories.

Have a great day,
grafixrj

Well obviously I missed this post earlier...sorry for the delay...still in the middle of a computer upgrade and I'm not checking in the forum as often as I should.
Also not checking my emails...something I usually do!

Anyway, glad you found the place, and hope you do okay with the models.
Share your progress on the forum (if you want) and we can learn from your mistakes.
LOL just kidding.
We can help you if you get into trouble.

Best thing about paper models, is you can reprint if you mess up.
So, I guess you better buy a new Printer!
