Welcome to a truly international group whose members share a passion for making (usually) recognizable things from card stock paper. These things range from extremely simple models of cars and buses to highly elaborate representations of aircraft and armored vehicles which challenge and often exceed anything found in the plastic model world.

Members are encouraged to share their own, original model designs, links to favorite model sites, or just to talk about our hobby.

When you join, make sure you use a working, valid e-mail address and a name by which you wish to be known. Accounts found to be lacking valid addresses or names will be deleted.

This group supports the paper model designers and publishers, and does not support piracy of any kind. Therefore copyrighted material may not be posted without specific permission from the owner of the copyright.

Links to sites which offer copyrighted material, including free models from other sites, without permission should not be posted. If you are unsure whether a site is legitimate, please ask the group's owner before posting.

Because we enjoy an informal atmosphere, conversation here often goes off-topic. If you do not wish to receive off-topic posts, please use the "Web Only" option.

Copyright issues as applied to our hobby are always on topic.

Please keep in mind when posting that the members of this group represent a large number of political, religious, and ethnic persuasions. Therefore, discussion of religion, politics, or ethnicity is strictly prohibited. Think well before you post; comments which the group's owner finds offensive will not be tolerated.

Please note that posting links to models of religious, political, or ethnic subjects is quite acceptable, as is objective discussion of the models themselves. If a model offends you, don't download it, but respect the right of others to do so.

Virus warnings and similar postings should not be made to the group unless the warning is about a specific file in the group's archives or a site whose link is posted here.
