What format do you send your download files in?
We send all files as PDF documents. Inside each file are several
folders. At present there is a folder that contains the instructions, and
another that contains the model parts. On our newer models we are adding a
third file that will contain the parts of the model that only require printing
on lower quality paper, as these require to be stuck to card for internal strength.
All of our kits and papers can be printed onto A4 paper.
What glue can I use?
We have tried several types of glue, and had good results with them all,
except superglue. We have used PVA glue with excellent results, and also
contact adhesives. We tried with glue stick type glues and had very poor
results.
How good is the print quality?
We are in the process of producing a test page to enable you to try your
printer and check the quality prior to you purchasing a kit, or brick paper.
You are more than welcome to download our
free kit or texture sheet to see the
quality.
Are your models complicated to make?
All of our kits we believe to be easy to construct. All techniques used
are very basic, and easy to master. As the kits and papers can be printed
off as many times as you require, if you make a mistake, just print off another
copy, and try again. Download our
free model to learn the basic techniques needed
to produce a model.
What can I do if I make
a mistake building one of your models?
Unlike other cardboard
kits, you are able to just print the parts that you need again.
I do not have the
thickness of card that you recommend?
All of our models are
based on 1mm thick card. This thickness card is used by picture framers to
mount pictures. It is widely available from a range of suppliers and
outlets. If you are unable to obtain this thickness of card, it is
possible to use a thinner card, but you must use more than one thickness.
You will need to print out the templates pages again. Use a good quality
glue to laminate the card pieces together.
I am having trouble downloading my items.
We have had instances where our customers have
had trouble opening the Zipped folder once the download is complete. A
warning message appears that the file is invalid or corrupt.
This kind of error can occur
when part of the Zip file content becomes corrupt during an interrupted
download, file copy or move etc. We have
looked into this, and it appears to be a fault with the users computer or
internet connection. We have checked all the files on the hosts server,
and they are correct. We recommend that you try to download the files
again by entering your account orders, and clicking the download link. If
this should fail, use the contact us form and we will email you the folders that
you require. See microsoft help for further information
