    Rescaling Models

    Technically, PDF are like big one-part pictures, you cannot "cut" them into pieces so easily. You can use Foxit Reader to change the print size, as acrobat reader often locks it. With a PDF file this WILL happen, unless you have the source document used to create the PDF file, alas it seems to...

    A virus maybe

    If you have a virus, it won't start *immediatly* after being downloaded to your computer, that would be too easy to detect. A computer virus usually goes to a "stealth" mode for a few hours, days, or sometimes months before activating. And I noticed no virus at all on this forum, it's just a...

    Newly sharpened cissors

    Hi all. Here is a trick to sharpen old and tired cissors. Simply get an aluminium sheet, the one sold for cooking the food. Fold it two times. Just cut it with your tired cissors several times. (Just cut it into strips for example). Your cissors will again be sharp and efficient.

    Sci-Fi model: wich paper? (glossy? photo? matte?)

    Hi. I'm answering a bit late, but I hope this will be read by people having the same trouble. The problem is *not* the paper, but what you want as your finished result (aka model). Glossy paper means the model is almost shining, reflecting some light. Matte paper means the model is "average"...

    How to protect paper models from dust?

    I should also add Acrylic has a big point vs display boxes/cases as dust WILL enter your box/case anyway (except for sealed ones, but a paper model in a sealed box in no fun anymore).
