I had a look through his offerings yesterday and there are some very cool subjects available! I've built a few paper models now and it's a cheap and very different way to model. It's a much cheaper option for real space subjects, for example.

One gripe though: I wish paper designers kept to the standard plastic/resin/vac scales! At least the Murph's Beech Starship is 1/48 instead of one of those oddball scales.

Well, in the case of downloadable e-models, just rescale it to your preferred scale prior to printing.  :icon_beer:

I've tried, but I just can't complete a paper model that doesn't look like a steaming pile of crap.

The scale issue is annoying. 1/33 instead of 1/32 or 1/50 instead of 1/48 for aircraft. 1/25 for armor, 1/250 for ships, 1/300 for smaller aircraft. Scaling the file can work, but you have to account for the thickness of the material at the new scale.
