    This is just too cool... Im impressed by the detail in these models. I have a color printer at home and some photo paper. Think ill do it up there where the quality will be better.

    glad to hear your better!!

    havent tried these yet, printer acting up... what kinda glue are you using? glue stick might work better. its a bit tacky.

    Tried a glue stick after the white glue was taking too long...I'm assuming that there is a specialized glue for paper modelling..liquid white glue even used sparingly soaks into the paper and deforms it leaving the model lumpy..maybe it's the paper.
