I'm a little bit old(er) fashioned.....
I would opt for starting from the basics.
I mean really basics. Pen and paper and Scissors only.
Start designing easy models like Skyscrapers and houses, then move to
complicated shapes like missles and airplanes.
This way you learn a lot about designing and you better know whats
possible and get a better feeling which software suits you best.
The short list of ware for papermodelling is :
1. Imagination
2. Wetware
3. Software
4. Hardware

been struggling with.
I have been using all of those tools for quite a while now. and so far
that book looks
fabulous. :D Im a huge fan of gimp. I have worked a little with
inkscape, I may open
up one of my simpler models and give it a shot with something thats
already modeled.

Why not? I'm also a Linux user and quite happy in designing paper
models.
- - Create 3D-Meshes in Blender (www.blender.org
<http://www.blender.org>)
- - Blender has tools for unfolding meshes: unfold and B-Paperizer
- - The results of unfolding are SVG-graphics which can be
imported into
inkscape (www.inkscape.org <http://www.inkscape.org>). There you
can do vector-based texturing
or you can export it into
- - gimp (www.gimp.org <http://www.gimp.org>), a bitmap editor
which is really great.
I did some projects with this software combination, and all worked
well.

This book is really great stuff. Have a lot of fun reading it.
