    Mark Twain Riverboat

    looks like a 100 mile roadtrip has two reasons now... a grocery store and a good office supply shop. i only had 100 and 20 lb paper, i think a few additional weights will be a good investment.

    Mark Twain Riverboat

    I keep going back to this topic, excited to see the progress. i am thinking of using cardstock for the main, but with all the small intricate cut outs required of using standard paper as well, but i am not sure how that will turn out because i have never worked with both mediums. i am hoping...

    best subscription / pay site?

    Zathros - wow - thank you for the heads up, i had no idea that was a dark side of things, i am glad you let me know. it did seem like it was almost too good to be true with the amount of what they had. i am hoping i have not done any pirated ones so far. i don't think so, they seem to have been...

    Mark Twain Riverboat

    PaperAir that looks quite exciting. i have been fighting with that model and was so relieved when i saw a couple of the photos you posted so far of the hull. it may sound silly, but i was completely stumped on how to form it. i set that model aside and decided to fight it again after more...

    best subscription / pay site?

    curious on thoughts on this. i am wanting to find a few various wwII bombers, and other creations such as buildings and dioramas, and it seems that it might be time to consider purchasing a subscription somewhere to find more models, i have not found a lot of options in those areas, but that...

    Cutting Mats

    I am already on my second mat, and it is much better than the first one. the first one i replaced when i would try to cut, and it would cut jagged because of all the cuts and no longer smooth. i found when it became too difficult to cut it was time to replace. i am using a Fiskars now self...

    A4 Card Stock in the US?

    i am curious myself. so far i have just used [shrink to fit] option when using acrobat reader, and hoping it will scale properly. so far i have not had problems. i have seen packs for sale on several auction sites, but i haven't broken down and purchased any yet. i have also used shrink to fit...

    photo added i think i was able to add a photo of what i have completed recently. it may not look like much, but with only partial use of left hand, it is quite an accomplishment in my book, and has been a huge mark of being able to function again. my hand was rather damaged in an accident, and...

    new here, from Indiana

    I must say, one of the first things I am learning is that it seems that a lot of the interesting models i have found, are A4 and not US letter, hoping i can learn a fix for this. I recently got into paper craft as a way to get therapy for a hand injury. then, i think a touch of addiction kicked...
