Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 8:17AM I finally had a chance to dig these out of where they have been hiding on my hard drive. They are also included when you download the kit.
These pictures show the Cannery in HO on our traveling HOn30 display layout.
Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 7:38PM We just added American Steel Pipe Works to our list of available models. This is something that the steel mill modelers, out ther have asked for, for a long time. It is a “low-relief” kit meant to be up against the backdrop, but using some ingenuity and liberal amounts of various colors of our corrugated steel sheet textures, can, and has, been made into a huge foreground model. Just print out the ends twice and connect them with as much sheeting, in between as you like. That is what makes cardstock modeling the great medium that it is. You can build something twice the size of anything else on the market for 1/10 the cost.
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 9:04PM Hi everyone. It has come to my notice that some of you have been patiently dealing with an “unusual” looking website. (And probably laughing to yourselves that these clowns really don’t know what they are doing.) What I mean is that to some of you, pictures and columns of text appear in “different” places than what I see when I’m editing or adding things. Many items appear shoved over to the right or just generally out of line. What I found out is that when we constructed the basic bones of this site, we did it on a wide, flat panel, rather than a more traditional monitor. That means that the ratio of width to height of my display is not necessarily what you may have. Normally, the computer, monitor & operating system, deal with this and you can’t tell the difference. That may or may not be what is happening with your display. I am going to try to modify things on this end so that this website look great to everyone, not just those with wide format screens. This will take a while since much of the HTML code of the website will have to be replaced. (And I’m still a novice at doing it.) We appreciate your patience as we tackle this task.

Saturday, April 17, 2010 at 6:58PM Today marks another milestone in the expansion of our ability to provide you with the best in cardstock models and texture sheets. There is an announcement on the HOME & TEXTURE pages, letting you know that all of the textures you have enjoyed, can now be purchased on line and immediately downloaded.
Many of you have asked for this feature and even though it took us a while to figure out how to make it work, IT”S DONE!
If you go to the “TEXTURES” page, you will see the usual thumbnails that have been there since we started. BUT now, when you click on them, in stead of just getting a bigger picture, you get a much bigger, better picture and “ADD TO CART” buttons that you can click to purchase the texture. Clicking on any of the buttons will take you to a “SHOPPING CART” page and from there you may purchase the item either with Pay-Pal or a credit card. Those of you who still wish to pay by check or money order will have to use our “CONTACT” page to email us for instructions.
Please note that while we really try to get things perfect right from the beginning, we know that “stuff happens”. If you have any concerns or difficulties, please contact us immediately and describe the situation so that we can make it better.
One of the big advantages, to you and us, of this additional feature, is that we can now make more items easily availabel in a lot less time. Very soon you will see textures show up that you haven’t seen before.
And speaking of more items, start watching the “MODELS” page. Downloadable kits will be showing up very soon!
Thanks for your continued support.
