Over the past 15 years I have seen some truly amazing paper models built by individuals that are true masters of their craft. And I've seen some areal butcher work also (my own included :) ). But one thing I truly like about this craft/hobby is the ability for the individual to design from scratch subjects which one can not obtain any other way. Yes one can scratchbuild in wood, plastic and metal. But in many ways paper is different. It both offers challenges in getting paper to do things it normally wont. Things such as compound curves. It also suffers from the frustration of getting it to do things you do not want it to do.
You're absolutely right. Paper has it's own challenges as well as it's own unique features. It looks fragile but if used with right techniques, it can deliver a robust art piece. I created a 6.5 feet long paper model of T-90 Tank which is about 4Kgs in weight yet it is so rigid and stable that it will last another 100 years unless someone sits on top of it :p
Paper Model Guru I know what you mean. About 14 years back I was working on a scrathbuilt ship with an egg crate internal structure. I built a 125mm square test piece 25mm tall. It easily held 250 kilos
Um alright ok whatever, just bought a GPM FA-18 HORNET, it looks nice with pretty goood detail, since i am a diecast collectors of 1:18 cars, so it's a nice way to introduce to other model category w/o spend too much (Yes Plastic Model Kit i am talking about you! Screw those paint and tools!) but i dont see anyart in the paper model either...it's just... simply fun
Richard Zhang Well you're right that it's not really an "art". It's more of a craftsmanship and working with hands that makes it a fun loving hobby. For me, collecting stuff that's factory made is boring and that'll never fascinate me, but when it comes to building something myself, now that sounds exciting :-)
lame talk dude. was hoping you'd talk about paper modelling itself, things you'd learned about the craft over the years, how you've changed as a paper modeller, stuff like that. instead it was just the same platitudes & generalizations u seem to get with every TED talk
You are correct. I didn't share my actual journey of Paper Modeling and how it changed my life. To be honest when I delivered this talk in 2015, I didn't have much content related to that but now I have so many stories to tell on how it changed my life... I am just waiting for another opportunity to speak about paper modeling and what a "Hobby" can do to a person :)

I like how paper and plastic modelling both have their flaws and pros
keep up the good work
Thank You 😊😊🙏🏼
