The Japanese have made elegant origami paper constructions for centuries. The Internet has not only made it possible for paper modelers come together as a fraternity, but also, is increasing interest in this remarkable hobby. Or build a miniature English Cottage, or even a Jaws hand puppet. Now, anyone, anywhere can get paper models delivered in minutes directly to their printer over the internet. You'll soon be adicted with a few free bees and then want to go on to bigger and better things.
Prices are very reasonable, costing just a dollar or two per model.
A big advantage is the fact that there are no foreign money conversions for models from abroad, no middle-persons, and no waiting to get started. Having direct contact, via e-mail, with the designer meant that if I found a problem with the fit or design I could get a rapid response and resolve my difficulty in very little time'. This is the future for this hobby. Not only this, but the very nature of the medium combined with computer technology begs for the option of variety. A CD rom holds 640 MB of information which is more than enough for even 20 of the biggest models.
