These are card models and are produced brilliantly. You can download for free.,

Print the off on to a4 paper in colour and then glue them to card , with the fiddly ones, the card can be quite thin.

Seriously have a go at some of them...the virgin jumbo is bloody excellent.

I am currently having a go at the mg in 1/24 Scale.

Cheers

cool idea

That looks fantastic. I'm going to have a go.

Do you use pritt stick or pva glue? How thick is the card you use?

Can you not just print on to card if the printer can do it? Or use thick paper?

One would think Pritt stick would be fine, and ok to use card if printer allows?

Check out these ones, make your own toys! So cool

I've had a look at the jumbo jet. Some of those tabs look awfully small. Pritt stick will probably be too big and messy.

On the instructions they suggest craft glue (whatever that might be)

I use " white glue" which is sort of Pritt stick

Not many printers I know will print hard card, so I tend to print off into standard paper and I have some card, which I stick the paper to. I have a mate who makes model ships out of card and I have no idea how he gets them looking as they are.

This is not his, but an example.....
