Avanti Scale Models - Crowel Cardboard Models

Miniature Model Avantis–Crowel Cardboard Models

An unusual model Avanti built of cardboard – Mark Crowel, is the author and publisher of books sold through Papercraft Model Car Hobby Books (papercraftcars.com) that show how to build and design paper car models. The business is a natural culmination of a passion for model cars combined with a lifelong enjoyment of building things with cardboard; thus, the making of homemade cardboard model cars. After more than a quarter of a century this is only the beginning of a planned series of do-it-yourself books that will start from the simplest paper models and eventually demonstrate how to build advanced projects. Learn to design and construct model cars that will impress even those who build plastic model kits! You will be able to plan and make your own replicas of your favorite cars, or bring your own automotive design ideas into scale in three dimensional form. These books are all bound in looseleaf note books, because these are practical, "hands-on" workbooks. Plans and patterns are made to be removed and used in the construction of your models. Your book will include the cardstock, heavy paper, and, in the more advanced books, silver coated "chrome" cardboard used in that model. Contact Mark Crowel at papercraftcars@aol.com.
