I Thank you very much, and to celebrate it, I started this Thread. B)  
I also want to celebrate the arrival of young Matej, brother cardmodeler.

First off in the parade are a couple X-32 I modeled when the X-32 was only an artistic impression:


Then, A couple YF-22 and one F/A22:



Followed by three F-19(?) Ghosts



And Two Classics from Korean War Vintage:

Two Idontknowwhat, but cool enough to make the couple:

A group of Brazilian Urutus:


A pair of LAV-25

[Rafael]

I hope you enjoy Them. Cardboard, Yum!!!

[Matej]

WOW!!!

I falled in love with your JSF proposals, J-XX and Hummers. But X-32 rules them all!!      

Also F-35 and F-3 are marvellous...

"Idontknowwhat" reminds me Lockheed AH-56 Cheyene.

[Rafael]

Thank you, Matej, I wanted to share.

The Idontknowwhat is, in effect a failed attempt at a cheyenne. Glad you noticed!!

[Matej]

Its our artists licence to modify them a bit to look much cool    

[Rafael]

Why, Of Course, and is too much fun to do!!!

The Hummers and almost all of them are cut and built largely from profiles. This are my only surviving cardmodels. But since I returned to modeling, I have integrated, Plastic, resin, plaster, cardboard, and other bits of junk in my builds.

The X-32 are ones of my favorites, too

WOW Rafa, those are really nice!

My favorites are the chinese J-XX  and F-22 and F-32

Edit: that tiny eggbeater is nice, but needs rotors though  

[Matej]

This are my only surviving cardmodels.

What other did you made from paper? These models are simply great!

PS: I had a simmilar attempt to make RAH-66, but it went on different way. I will post photos soon.  

[Rafael]

Yak-38
RF-X stealth Flying wing (from a Karlo Kopp publication)

Rafa, too bad you dont live in denmark! Youve got no idea how many kiloes of paper and cardboard we receive every month! About 20 kiloes of each! Just from a normal household!
