AmonFinn Posted August 21, 2017 #1 Posted August 21, 2017 Hello all, I'm Alex, aged 49, living near Hannover, Germany together with my beloved wife, son and 2 dogs. Nearly since I was born I'm addicted to naval history, love research as well as model building (mainly from cardboard). Maybe you'd like to see one of my creations at Papermau Blogspot. My actual project is Revell's USS United States 1/150 (in fact it's about 1/220), shown in 1842 condition. Much of the parts I recreated from cardboard, so if you're interested I'll open a new topic for that. If you've got any questions, feel free to contact me. Best regards Alex mtaylor, EJ_L, CaptainSteve and 5 others 8

spars Posted August 22, 2017 #5 Posted August 22, 2017 HOORAY for another card modeler! I've not been at it that long. Couple of years. I look for card models I can purchase other media kits about. I use Fiddler's Green for lots of buildings and aircraft. mtaylor 1
