0. What is card modeling?



0.1 Scale Modeling in Paper



    Card Modeling or Paper Modeling is the art of creating
scale models with paper.  Models are built up from appropriately colored, cut,
and folded pieces of paper, usually a stiff cardstock.  Many models are
available as kits, with pre-printed pieces to be cut out and assembled by
the modeler.  It's also possible to build entirely from scratch.
    

Anything can be modeled in paper, but the most common subjects are
buildings and vehicles.  Buildings are a very popular subject and well
suited to the medium.  Kits are available of many famous buildings and
castles.  There are also many kits available in common model railroad
scales, suitable for inclusion in a railroad layout.  Aircraft and ships
(both civil and military) are also popular.
    

Paper models can be surprisingly sturdy, and can stand up to handling
well.  They derive their strength from their structure; even seemingly
flimsy paper can be strong when it's shaped properly.
    

The basic elements of a card model are cylinders or cones.  The
cylinders can be square or rectangular in section, as buildings usually are,
or they can be round or oval, as in an aircraft fuselage.  They can
even be polygonal--a castle tower may have five or more sides.  Cylinders
can be tapered, and a cylinder which tapers to a point is a cone.  Again,
the cones can be square (like pyramids) or round in section.
    

Most paper models are built up from these simple elements.  Once
you've mastered the basic skills, more complicated shapes can
be formed from these basic ones.   Shapes involving compound curves,
such as a ship's hull, are built by forming an appropriately shaped
paper skin over a framework (much as a real ship is constructed.)
    

The basic operation of paper modeling are
    


            
  • cutting, with scissors or a knife,
            
  • scoring and folding,
            
  • bending, and
            
  • gluing.
        

If you can use scissors, you can build a paper model.
    

Only a few simple tools are necessary for constructing card models.
A complete set of tools can easily fit into a cigar box.  Only a small space
is required for construction, or for storage of unbuilt models.  This
makes it an ideal hobby for people with small homes, or students in dorm
rooms.  It's easy to pack all the necessary tools and several kits into
a small case, so you can easily travel with your hobby.
    

The hobby is also economical.  Kits are inexpensive, and no specialized
or expensive tools are needed.  An entire village of HO scale buildings
can be had for less than $10.  Of course, some kits are expensive, but even
the most expensive are much cheaper than a plastic model of comparable
complexity.
    

Card modeling is distinct from, but related to origami, the craft
of folding paper.  There are numerous Internet resources on origami--it's
beyond the scope of this FAQ to list them.  However, if you're interested
in origami, a good place to start is
Joseph Wu's Origami Page.
You may also wish to consult the appendix, Related
Arts.


0.2 Historical Notes



    

Paper has been used in modeling since its invention thousands of
years ago, but those ancient modelers probably did not use paper for the
construction of entire paper models.  The roots of the modern paper
model go back to 15th century Europe, where the printing technology and
the paper came together.  These first models were very simple rectangular
pictures, to be cut out and glued to wooden blocks as toys or educational
aids.  At first, religious themes predominated, but over the next several
centuries, they evolved to cover a broader set of topics.
    

Printing technology took a step forward in 1796, with the invention
of lithography, which allowed the production of clear images for large
press runs.  The paper models were developing too.  The rectangular cutouts
began to follow the outline of the figures, and a folded strip was added
at the base to allow the figure to stand on its own.  Then extra pieces
were added, to be glued to the face of the figure to give a three dimensional
effect.  By the late nineteenth century, the models were fully three
dimensional.  The JF Schreiber company of Esslingen, Germany began publishing
paper models in 1831 and is still publishing today.
    

Paper modeling as a hobby had a heyday in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth century, but in the 1920's began to wane in popularity,
as competition came from mass produced wooden model kits and metal toys.
In the 1940's, wartime shortages of wood, metal, and labor produced a
resurgence of interest in paper models.
    

In the 1950's, in the US and Western Europe, the competition from
plastic models gradually crowded out the paper ones.  Some companies, such as JF
Schreiber and Wilhelmshaven in Germany, continued to produce high quality
kits, but the medium couldn't match plastic's popularity.  Simple,
`tab-and-slot' models were also produced for use as promotional gimmicks.
    

In Eastern Europe, were polystyrene was less ubiquitous, paper
models continued to be popular, and a great variety were and still are produced.
    

However, even in the West, some modelers continued to be attracted
by the medium of paper, and the growing international commerce of the
1980's has led to a rising popularity.  It's now possible to get paper
models from all over the world.

        


        

from Bob Santos <SantMin@aol.com>: Growing up
    during WWII we did a lot of paper modeling because most other model
    materials were in short supply. Wish I could find some of those now.
    I have all the repro penny flyers but I remember a Jack Armstrong
    model that assembled into a nice little Piper Cub that was suspended
    inside a box that looked like a TV (we had no TV back then). All was
    connected with strings to a set of aircraft controls (stick and rudder
    pedals) and whatever you did with the controls moved the strings to
    make the little airplane assume the proper position. GREAT.
            

Another was a B-17 that was based on a paper tube with a
    little mirror in the nose making it a little periscope. You looked
    in through the tail and saw cross-hairs looking down so you could
    drop marbles on paper targets.
        

Does anyone remember the giant paper circus that started with
    models printed on Kool-Aid packets? How about the books that made
    3-d working models of all the popular comic strips of the time (I
    think that set was late 40's or early 50's)? I often wonder what
    happened to all those plates.
        



        

    

from Beppi <beppi@fachschaften.tu-muenchen.de>:
        King of all paper model designers for me is the
    Czech old-hand (over 30 years in this business with thousands of
    models!) Richard Vyskovsky. It's unforgiveable that he's not mentioned
    on your page! [He is now!] The difficulty and perfectionism of
    his kits are
    unsurpassed and he modeled virtually every castle and other old
    building in Czechoslovakia as well as a lot of modern or foreign ones,
    most in model-railway sizes. He also did noteworthy planes, cars,
    trains etc. and his wife Anna does folklore puppets.
    The Prague castle
    (115cm x 60cm complex with single buildings of 1-4cm) took us about 3
    months to build and we afterwards earned many puzzled looks from the
    tourist hordes when we walked through the real thing exclaiming "Look,
    the window which gave us so much headache to build", "There's the big
    gap where you didn't cut out properly" or "This chimney shouldn't be
    here, Richard cheated us!"
        

One problem with his legacy is its unavailability. Most of his models
    appeared as attachments to the fortnightly editions of "ABC", a Czech
    youth magazine (which also carried kits from other designers), from
    1962 until today (We have a 10cm stack of this attachments at home),
    but have never been published elsewhere or with explanations in other
    than Czech language. Another problem is the socialist (that is: bad)
    quality of paper and print. A few of the more well-known kits have
    been published separately and in better quality by Albatros, Prague,
    but their approach to marketing is also rather socialist. Some are
    available (at high prices) from a small company in Munich (Germany),
    which sells a very large range of paper models from all over the world
    at flea markets and fairs. They sometimes, reluctantly, do mail
    ordering as well.
    Richard is still designing (although he must be quite old by now), for
    example a whole line of classical Greek and Roman buildings came out
    in "ABC" just a year ago.
        



    

    from Chip Fyn <chipfyn@quest.net>:
        That nostalgia stuff hit a nerve with me. A few years ago, I
    realized that I've always been a paper modeler and that it's roots
    must have been the addiction I had for the Lone Ranger Town that
    had bits printed on the back of Cherios boxes and that then you had
    to send a box top and a quarter to get the layout and a bunch more
    cutout and glue up buildings.  Then when the radio program came on
    every Wednesday, you could follow the action with your layout.
    (Hmmmm. The first virtual media experience?!)  This was back in
    1948 or so.
    


    

    from Jack Graham <jgraham@nisc.net>:
        Ah yes! The Lone Ranger Towns and Maps! More like 1947.
    I wonder if we could get reprints from General Mills?  I think it
    was a box top and a dime not a quarter.  I was only able to get one
    set and longed for the remainder.  My favorite "send in" was during
    WWII and it was a map, buildings, army vehicles, and a bomber plane.
    Here's how it worked.  The bomber had marble "bombs" on  a turret.
    The "bomb sight" was a mirror viewed at an angle from the tail of
    the plane.  The mirror being located inside the plane tilted at an
    angle.  The map on the floor was seen through this mirror and a
    marble was released to bomb a building or vehicle.  Man what I
    would give for one of those again!  Anyone remember Build-A-Set
    brand tab and slot paper models? I wonder if those could be resurrected.
    


    

    from David Kemnitzer <DKemnitzer@eypae.com>:
        I have a nearly complete set of buildings that were part of the
    Nabisco Shredded Wheat Toytown and the Toytown Carnival.  These came
    printed on the dividers which were in each box of cereal.  Like all
    premiums I think certain models must have been harder to get (probably
    the entire production run was sent to another part of the country.)
    


    

    from Roy Miller <miller@csd.com>:
        It's nice to know that someone else out there has a nice case of
    nostalgia for the old paper stuff of W.W.II.  The Bomber plane mentioned
    had to be one of the best Radio serial offers ever presented. I would
    love to find one or get it re-issued somehow.  The airplane was actually
    a model of a B-29 and was offered as a premium for the Hop Harrigan Radio
    serial, I believe by Kellogg's. There is a nice photo of the shipping
    envelope in the delightful book "Toys of World War II" if you can find
    a copy. This book is a good source for information on many of the paper
    models of the time including Build-A-Set and the Color Graphics "Young
    Patriots" sets. These were made of heavy cardboard and could survive
    the rough usage by an eight year old boy.  I am fortunate enough to have
    several examples of the W.W.II stuff including a Build-A Set Military set
    and the Lionel Paper Train set (which included die cut flanged wheels
    and track!). A replica kit of the latter can be obtained from PMI minus
    the wheels and wooden axles. It is not die cut and the cutting lines are
    difficult to see, but it can be built and, from a distance looks like
    a real Lionel train.  
        

I agree with Jack, it would be great if some of these could be
    resurrected.  I remember the Build-A-Sets and Color Graphics sets
    particularly.  The higher cost sets ($1.00) included many working
    gimmicks such as guns that shot projectiles and targets that exploded
    when hit.
    



Panzerdeisel has a section
on Scale Modeling in
WWII
(in German and
English) which
shows German children and servicemen building models, at least some of
which are paper models.  A model of the era is also shown.

1. Where do I get paper models?



If you get in the habit of looking, you can find often card models in local
hobby shops and bookstores.  A lot of the Dover line of buildings are in HO
scale, and hobby shops catering to the model train crowd often have them.
Large bookstores often have the Dover and Usborne lines.  Major sources are
listed below; for a variety of more obscure or uncertain sources, see
the appendix More Sources for Card Models .
Non-mail order sources in various countries are also listed there.

Scheuer & Strüver
publishes an enormous catalog of models on all
subjects; they also have their own line of Imperial German warships.
A list of the model lines they carry is available.
Their 1999 catalog is 160 pages in full colour and includes a free model
steam locomotive "Länderbahn-Lok T12" in HO scale.
The catalog is DM 8 (with shipping to the US, the total cost is DM 23 surface
or DM 34 airmail).  They accept VISA, Diners Club, EUROCARD and
MasterCard.
They will do mail order throughout Europe.  From the US, you
can order directly from them, or H&B Precision Card
Models in Virginia can arrange to get them in the USA (they pool several
orders to reduce shipping costs, so this can take a little while.)
You can also order on-line through their web-site (in German only right
now, but an English version is in the works.)

Editoriale Domus has a line of
architectural models called DomusKit.  They sell direct by
mail order; their multilingual web site lists prices in lire and dollars,
but doesn't mention shipping costs.  DomusKits are also available through
other vendors, e.g. Marcle, and S&S.  Despite the fact that their WWW site
list prices in US dollars, they apparently do not accept orders from
the United States.  (The US distributer is reported to be Lombard
Marketing, Bloomfield, CT, 1-800-741-3519.)
