Dr. Cranky Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Crowel Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 I intend to write such a book. My inspirational book for cardboard model building is Herbert Lozier's 1967 book, Introduction to Model Making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunkPile Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Crowel Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Chuck, did you see this?: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58326&hl=&fromsearch=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkPile Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yes, that is the one referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Crowel Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
