  There is plenty of plastic out there, a patch of it the size of Brazil in mid pacific, ready to be scooped, plus landfills full of it.

  Also, there are plastics that can be made from grown renewables like corn.

  But paper is a great way to build !

Nice work on the Reliant!

I'm a bit of a Star Trek fan and I've always liked how different Reliant is from Enterprise.

Ditto on that.   Finally saw/held a couple paper models.  Were well built and looking fine.

nice work -- some of them look like plastic kits !

Think the manufacturer went a bit heavy on the panel-line pre-shading with that B-17 tho ;D
