HUGE card model gallery -- eye candy galore!
TOM G replied to ccoyle's topic in Card and Paper Models
Yes very nice builds......... But i think Doris holds 1st place in card modeling. -
What you did is right....... I read this somewhere, that even so you are building to scale something won't look right. and you have to go off scale to make it look right to the human eye. A good gauge to use for this is a scale figure, in your case a 1:48 can be found on ebay ( o scale figure ) in model railroad trains in toys and hobbies.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
