Cardboard modeling is a form of modelling
with paper,
card stock,
paperboard,
and corrugated fiberboard.
The term cardboard engineering is sometimes used to differentiate from craft of making decorative cards. It is often referred to as paper modelling although in practice card is generally used.
History
Originally this was a form of
modelling undertaken because of the low cost involved. Card, a means of cutting
and glue
are all that is needed. Some models are 100% card, while others use items of
other materials to reinforce the model. After World War II
cardboard models were promoted by a number of model companies. One company.
Books of printed models
to cut out and make have been around a long time. Also special printed cards
were available from which models could be made. In the UK Micromodels
were well known for very small card models.
Models to cut out were also a
feature of paperboard folding cartons. For many years Weetabix
had models to cut out on their breakfast cereal packets.
The hobby has been revived through
the use of IT based printers, especially the ink-jet
and laser colour printers. Using a vector graphics
package it is possible anyone to create their own models from scratch.
Pre-printed models may be downloaded
from the internet. A web ring lists some of these while others offer
a range of models from the simple to the complex.
