    Free Models  
 
These are card models I have designed, and may be downloaded for your personal enjoyment. You can either print them yourself or (in some cases) purchase a pre-printed kit from Paper Models International.

To print your own model
You will need a printer capable of printing on card stock. In addition, you will need an un-ZIP program (such as WinZip or PowerArchiver) to decompress the files, and Adobe's Acrobat Reader program to open and print the files. The kits vary in complexity, and some may not be suitable for beginning card modelers. I've assigned a skill level to each kit to help you judge whether the kit is within your ability.

Steps:

  1. Download the archive files. For most models there are two files: the instructions and the parts layout (simpler models may have parts and instructions combined in a single document).
  2. Extract the model files from the archive files using an un-ZIP program and open them with Acrobat Reader.
  3. Print the files. The instructions may be printed on ordinary printer paper. The parts layout should be printed onto card stock. The "weight" (thickness) of the stock will depend on the capabilities of your printer and your own preference. 67-pound cover stock (approx 8.5 thousandths of an inch or 0.2 mm thick) is recommended.

To purchase a pre-printed model
