    I came across this site while looking for a BoB poster
    CM+ Construction Reviews
    The bf109 paper model looks excellent.

    I tried paper modelling a few years ago and tried to make my own "kits" using Pepakura. Its ok but doesnt take into account the thickness of the paper when making inserts from your 3D models.

    I wondered if anyone else does paper modelling. I guess buildings for wargames etc are easy, but the curvs on aircraft... :rolleyes:

    Oooer! That 1/144th scale Tiger would look great with my "N" scale (1/144th) "Bilteze" card buildings!

    Wow I have never seen anything so well done and so well detailed!. I thought a paper kit of over 24 parts over two pages was a lot. This guy is mental!

    He has done all that work in three months.. I wonder if he has a day job?

    So 25 parts per track link. 198 track links for left and right tracks...
    Thats 4950 pieces just for the tracks let alone all the pannels, bolts and other bits!

    How did you hear about this Ropi?

    Holy cow, that 109E looks fantastic! I don't believe that is made with paper! (Though a look at the wing construction made me believe)
