Mark, this is very cool. I wonder to what extent working with paper like this gives you a greater appreciation of line and curve design. Excellent.

Mark , That is really cool . I've seen paper models of planes , but never cars . Is there a book or something that explains how to ?

[Mark Crowel]

I intend to write such a book.

My inspirational book for cardboard model building is Herbert Lozier's 1967 book, Introduction to Model Making.

Never tried to build a car with paper, but built lot's of paper airplanes from kits, like the ones from ModelArt, WAK, or Fiedler's Green.

I have a very cool paper kit of the '36 Ford, I got online, but never built it.

Here is a brief explanation of my construction methods: http://cardboardmodelcarshowcase.lefora.com/2012/05/12/the-types-of-construction-i-use/#post0

Cardboard modelmaking. Very cool, indeed.

It's more than thinking outside the box....it's thinking with the box in mind. Hey Mark, how about a '63 Avanti built from the box of a '63 Avanti plastic kit?

Chuck, did you see this?: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58326&hl=&fromsearch=1

Yes, that is the one referring to.

Bob, an alternative to me writing a book, would be to put my models in kit form. Kits can be put on the market sooner than books.
