This hobby is similar to origami, or paper crafts as "Card modeling" is the art of building scale models of aircraft, buildings, ships and many other real life objects. This article provides you with links and resources where you can download many free models. Learning to make card models is very easy as most of the sites provide modelling tips or techniques along with card models.
Card models are made out of paper. A heavy, card stock, paper is used to create models. Similar to the type of paper used for business cards. The model is printed directly onto the flat paper and then it is cut out, rolled, folded, glued, sometimes tabs are insert into slots, to make the models. Since most of the time the colors and details are already printed, most of the modelers time is spent in assembly. Card models are available for almost any area of interest
I have personally downloaded some of the models and made attractive card models.
