Cardboard Engineering

Modelling with card. The term Cardboard Engineering is used to differentiate from craft of making decorative cards.

Originally this was a form of modelling undertaken becasue of the low cost involved. Card, a means of cutting and glue all that is needed. Some models are 100% card, while others use items of other materials to reinforce the model.

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 cardboard packaging. 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.
