ABOUT
This
site:
Paper Castles .net is the brainchild
of two brothers/uncles who never stopped making modles.
This site started as an easy
way to share and develop castle designs and lay-outs,
and now we share this with anyone interested in paper
and card model construction!
Our
Designs:
Our
designs incorporate adaptations that we have devised
over the years. We have deviated fromsome of the normal
paper model design conventions in order to produce
easier-to-build(and more realistic) buildings, features,
and details.
- Our
designs are printed on flat unfinished card stock
surfaces. This
makes glue more adherent, and the finished model
looks more realistic than the shiny glossy sheen
of most paper model building kits.
- Our
lay-outs incorporate "over-print" on
the gluing tabs; the
background textures are printed beyond the actual
finished lines of the pieces, allowing greater
flexibility in sizing and fitting when assembling
these models.
- We
have changed the fold-over areas; inner and
outer "faces" of battlements, for example,
are printed as one piece to be folded onto itself
for better alignment.
- We
have reduced - and sometimes eliminated - the
blank area that most kits use to show you where
one piece fits to another. Every
model builder is different, and no matter how
precise we are in cutting our pieces, there are
always discrepencies - where some of that "white
area" shows past the smaller pieces as they
are added, destroying the illusion! We have reduced
that frustration!
So please, poke around in our site a little.
We look forward to your questions, ideas, suggestions,
and any other feedback regarding Paper Castles and
card model construction in general!
