Let's say I want to race in Nascar. I don't have the money or resources to get involved. But I can afford an old Chevy Prism and I have friends who do automotive body work.

If I have them make a body that LOOKs like a Nascar racecar and show up to a race I don't think they'd let me join in.

If you meet the actual requirements (which is more than just looks) I'm sure they would.
Can you show me any requirements other than your elitist assumption that would preclude a papercraft model?

3 colors and basing?

So no actual rule? I can point to Nascar safety and performance rules that would disqualify you 10 ways to Sunday on your earlier example.
Just your elitest assumptions then. Cool - as long as you admit it.

I hope you also bring up the front/back lascannons with "proper" model opponents.

The sarcasm was strong when i posted that. Sorry if it wasn't clear. i suppose someone who wasn't familiar with the whole "2/10" image thing wouldn't get it. I hoped the lascannon would be so over the top people would figure it out, but this is the internet and sometimes the intent behind what someone is saying isn't so easy to pick up on.

one time i played against a kid who was running using a rhino that looked like it was made out of sheetrock, no clue how he did it. The rest of the army was pretty..well... it... It was in keeping with the theme set by the rhino. Didn't really bother me as i know what its like to be broke. I do appreciate it when someone puts a lot of time and effort into a model because its nice to look at but i don't require it. I know some people like to put others down for whatever reason when it comes to this game and thats not really cool just because you can do something really well doesnt mean others arent trying or doing the best they can.
That being said, Printing out a model and folding it together is kind of lame espescially if its done poorly or if to be cheesy. I have seen some of the really cool cardboard models on here, not paper craft, but models made from card board the same way you would scratch build something from plasticard that look awesome.
I guess as long as the person is cool and the papercrafted army is'nt made simply to be cheesy its all good.

I still want that Tardis USB hub.
