Bob, I absolutely LOVE it when someone who is looking at a cardmodel is told that it's made of card when they have already decided it's a plastic model. The look of disbelief on their face is priceless. Tough luck about the ship's antenna but that's life. Tell him he should make them out of card stock.

Pablo placed into competition an absolutely outstanding highly detailed “Green” ship. I kept busy pointing out to the plastic club members that Pablo’s ship was paper! Unbelievable! David Okamura had several paper model competition and displays including his ships in a number of scales. Jim Nunn showed several Kartonowy Arsenal kits for the members and visitors to analyze. Meeting Pablo and seeing his craftsmanship was lots of fun. Sadly, due to the hotel’s air-conditioning not working, floor fans were brought in and aimed at the competition table. My little 4 and 3/4 inch Manila Dory took off, flew across the table and wiped two antennas off one of the plastic competition models. The modeler was almost explosive. This did not help my paper modeling participation. Photo of us: Jim Nunn, Pablo, me, and David Okamura.
