Hi Mandy, First of all welcome to this great 'family' of paper model enthusiasts! I too am from Australia and it's always great to see another Aussie on board.
As for your collection, this is no real answer to it because it all depends how big your house/unit is? I like many people here have the problem of storing these wonderful creations. Sometime, if scale is not critical, you can print the models as a smalled scale and thus less shelving space is required. I know it is a little bit harder to build but I imagine you have petite fingers like most woman so you should be OK. Just a small tip. Enjoy and welcome to the board. Cheers Louis. 2008/12/22 Mandy F <[email protected]> > Hi all, > > I haven't officially introduced myself yet. my name is Mandy and I live in > Australia.
