Card modeling is the art of building scale models of aircraft, buildings, ships and many other real life objects. If you have never tried Card modeling and you like to work with your hands you will really enjoy this hobby. Once you have tried this you will be amazed at the quality of the models, they are just as good if not better than most of the plastic or wood models on the market today. All you need to build models is a good pair of scissors, poster paper for backing and some white glue such as Elmers. I build ships and aircraft but the range of models available is amazing. Castles, trains, birds, automobiles, balloons and much more. Below I have listed links to sites that will provide information for you and some places to buy the models if you are interested.
