You've got a great looking bottom half, there Floyd (uh, bad choice of phrasing, I guess). It's comforting to know someone else takes takes their time building models. I'm happy to complete something complex in a year at my comfortable now-and-then pace. At 10 years per, you'll easily work...

I ran across mention of this video at HobbyTalk, but it should be of even more interest here. This fellow named Barry Warner spent 20 years building this wonderful motorized corn processing diorama. Most everything was made from scratch using cardboard-- even most of the little tractors.

I thought I knew a lot about the paper and printing business, but I was wondering what in the world you guys where talking about until I googled it. It's the pieces of cardboard that comic and magazine collectors put in the bag with their collectible mags ("These boards will help protect your...

I've got a secret way to catching a lot of these pay TV series and long movies without intermissions. Wait a year or so and the DVD set turns up at the public library. When the over-air stuff starts thinning out this time of year, I just start watching those. They even have a library-connected...

I've seen walnut shell dioramas before and they're always impressive. I don't think my magnifier works with things that small. The jeep and the people almost look like some sort of stock items, but I don't know where you'd get them that little.

Yes, I think the two factors that can most cause this are the thickness (or thinness) of the paper and the amount of water in the glue. You don't want to build card models with regular PVA (like Elmer's) because of the water content. Try different Aleene's bottles (I like their clear glue a...

Ah, you're not yet familiar with the fellow I'm talking about. He creates the amazing paper models of some of the most obscure subjects (Mothra, for instance). We don't speak his name just anywhere, but if look around you'll see evidence of his brilliance. He doesn't take requests, but we're...

Well, to shamelessly plug my handy paper model link site (see signature link below), I have listed the SAAB Hammerhead from my good ole Jay of Jay's Box of Sci-Fi CardToys (it's listed on the "Random Cards" page). http://www.freewebs.com/jaybats/takeacardanycard.htm The little robot model is...

Hiya, Dirk! I've watched a lot of your YouTube videos and seen you on the Amazing Scale Modeler hangout many times. It's nice to see you're branching out into paper world a bit these days. My only word of caution is that you may soon be filling a lot of hard drive space with model files you...

Glad you guys are interested. Don Weeks was kind enough to drop me a note reminding me that some of the internal page links were not updated yet and I just corrected that. For the moment everything looks OK at Paper Hollywood. Next, I've got to gradually rehost all the model thumbnails on the...

I guess I'll post this under "Introductions", even though I'm an old timer here. A lot of you have kindly visited my paper model link reference website paperhollywood.com, which I've had in the signature of my posts here for years. I recently lost my domain name (total "duh" moment), but it's...

Yes, the best advice I can give anyone new to paper model downloading is to grab it quick because they often disappear before you make it back them.

Yes, that link offers some directions, but there seems to be no download link. On it's page he says "We are stopping publication. I’m sorry.".

These do look like great models. I suggest grabbing them ASAP, though. Some (including the Dio scooter pictured) now say "Due to various circumstances, we have stopped publishing the development map. I'm sorry. We are stopping publication. I 'm sorry." I was able to download the Harley, the...

The Philippines isn't widely known around the world for it's architecture, but their government seems to want to change that to some degree. This Phil. government website has a nifty page with about 14 nice models for local architectural landmarks...

Wo-ow! I don't believe you, dude. That's amazing.

Great idea for models, R-Fan. I've always had an a sort of fond thing for Logan's Run, not as much because I love the film, but because I watched them film some scenes at the Ft Worth Water Gardens. I actually hung around near Ustinov, York and Auutter quite a bit, though I didn't actually meet...

Back in the 1960s the series The Fugitive had a great final episode that wrapped up the story satisfactorily. Than the studio found that the series was much less watched in syndicated reruns than shows that did not have concluding eps. Thereafter the studios began deliberately disallowing final...

Wow, you've even added landing gear? This model rocks and rolls. Keep up the good work, Nando.

Yes, it's looking like CBS is setting themselves up for a failure with this initial online effort. As with almost all TV series, the viewership of Discovery will taper off after the initial start period. The paywall thing may add to this effect, especially if the show doesn't become knockout...
