Here are answers to some of the most common questions I am frequently asked.

Can you make more papercraft models?
I became a father in January of 2016. That's when all my very time consuming paper engineering work came to an end. Given the time constraints of parenting and working to provide for a growing family, I have since moved on to new creative pursuits. Will I ever come back to it? Time will tell... |

Stay calm... we'll get it fixed. My digital downloads are generally active for 1 year, or 3 download attempts. If you're unable to access your purchased item, reach out via the Contact page and we'll get things fixed right away.
Can you give me your paid products for "free"?
Really?... I have several "free" downloadable products which you can find by exploring this website. You're welcome to enjoy those.
What paper do you use and recommend for your DIY papercraft models?
I generally use the 110lb (200gsm) white cardstock paper by Neenah. Anything 110lb or thicker works well, but that depends entirely on the model size. Uncoated paper is great, glossy paper is awful.
What is paper "lb" and "gsm"?
Lb and gsm indicates paper thickness, typicly labeled on the packaging. Higher number = thicker paper.
What paper size do I need for your papercraft models?
All papercraft models available in my Store were designed for US Letter size. However, you can print to any paper size by selecting the "Scale to fit" option in the Print dialog.

No, they’re all DIY (do-it-yourself).

Here’s a video from 2013 where I explain how to accomplish this.
Can I get templates to your 7ft Gundam, Audi A7, Audi R8, and other models not in your store?
No, if it isn't available in my store it wasn't meant to be shared.
Do you speak other languages besides English?
Yes, I’m originally from Ukraine and still fluently speak Ukrainian.
Would you showcase your work at a gallery or event?
I have done this in the past. However, at this point I have almost none of my past creations on hand.
