'''Cardboard modeling''' or '''cardboard engineering''' is a form of [[Model building|modelling]] with [[paper]], [[card stock]], [[paperboard]], and [[corrugated fiberboard]].<ref>Cardboard Engineering, with Scissors and Paste by GH Deason. Model Aeronautical Press 1958</ref> The term ''cardboard engineering'' is sometimes used to differentiate from the [[craft]] of making [[Greeting card|decorative cards]]. It is often referred to as ''[[paper model]]ling'' although in practice card is generally used.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
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, ERG ([[Bournemouth]]) Ltd. produced a book "Cardboard Rolling Stock and How to Build It" and [[Superquick]] are still well known for their range of printed and pre-cut kits.<ref>Cardboard Rolling Stock and How to Build It&nbsp;— by E Rankine Gray</ref><br />
<br />
Books of printed [[model building|model]]s to cut out and make have been around a long time<sup>{{when|date=June 2016}}</sup>. Also, specially printed cards were available from which models could be made. In the UK [[Micromodels]] were well known for very small card models.<br />
<br />
Models to cut out were also a feature of [[paperboard]] folding [[carton]]s. For many years, breakfast cereal makers had models to cut out on their packets.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cerealoffers.com/home.html|title=Details & information on breakfast cereal offers and promotions including free gifts and packet cut outs|website=cerealoffers.com|access-date=2017-09-27}}</ref><br />
<br />
The hobby has been revived through the use of [[ink-jet]] and [[Laser printer|laser colour printers]], with the availability of inexpensive [[plotter#Cutting plotters|cutting plotters]] and [[Laser_engraving#Laser_engraving_machines|laser engravers]] also reducing the time, effort, and tedium associated with cutting out the many parts. Using a [[vector graphics]] package, it is even possible for anyone to create their own models from scratch, though most use [[Paper_model#3D models to paper|special software]].<br />
<br />
Models to cut out can also be downloaded from the internet.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://i.webring.com/hub?ring=papermodelwebrin |title=The Paper Model WebRing Paper Model, Papercraft, Free Models, Free Paper Models, Free Papercraft, Free Paper Craft, Paper Craft |publisher=I.webring.com |date= |accessdate=2009-07-30}}</ref><br />
