The idea of paper/card models is not really that new. There is a great selection of card models available for purchase or download. The Yamaha models mentioned in this article are very simple compare to professionally designed and printed models. Virtually anything you ask for is out there. Poland is the leader in this hobby. To get an idea of what I'm talking about take a look at some of these links: Radom card modeling contest Krasnystaw card modeling contest Andrzej Halinski: leading publisher of card models Card model gallery High quality electronically published card models
More sophisticated models have thousands of parts and are very realistic. A model of USS Saratoga from publisher Fly Model in scale 1:200 has over 3200 parts (that includes couple squadrones of airplanes). Card models are also mostly in large scales (1:33 airplanes, 1:25 vehicles and 1:200 ships) and a whole lot cheaper than plastic models.
