Greetings

Hello, just beginning to get into paper modelling. What peaked my interest was looking for model kits of the ships in the new Star Trek reboot. Looking around I found some resin kits that are pricey, then stumbled across a site called Paragon Models, and thought hey what a nice cheap way of doing it, that fits my budget :-)

I've had some experience building plastic model kits but that was easily around 20 years ago if not longer and some wood modelling experience.

I probably have more experience using 3-D software than I do with anything else, my preferred software is Truespace which is now vaporware I guess. I still use the old version 3.1 from the late nineties.

Sci-fi subjects are my favorite (Star Trek, Star Wars, Bablyon5, etc.)
Currently I am working on Paragons U.S.S. Kelvin model as it looks like it might be easier than the others. I'm toying with the idea of seeing if I can create a 3-D model and improve on it somewhat.

Current Status:
Building the Kelvin from Star Trek
Learning more about paper modelling

Things that I hope to build in the future:
Babylon 5 - The actual station
Babylon 4
The ships form the newest star Trek movie
Vulcan cruiser from Enterprise - I think there are two,I guess the bigger one is the one i'm looking for

Glad to be here and maybe I can get some pointers on some tips and tricks on how to build and maybe even design.
