New papercraft project

[robemcdonald]

I am currently off work with the flu. As you can only watch so much day time tv I decided to start a new papercraft model. I fancied a break from all the motor cycles, so decided to have another crack at a model I have previously built... With a twist.
There were a couple of things I didn't like about the original, so I have decided to make modifications as I go. Armed only with a copy of PowerPoint, an ink jet printer and mild fever I have started.
See if you can guess what it is. i

These are a couple of the modifications so far.

Still one I want to build - interested to see your progress.

lol - possibly the understatement of the day! From picture at top of page to this....excellent!

(I do understand these are updates to an existing model, but it looked funny - modeling at light-speed!

[robemcdonald]

It's not an update. It's a new model. Goes together really quick. There's no excuse for not making one yourself.

[dr_gn]

It looks awesome. We (kids and me) started ours yesterday - target is to finish it (or them) this weekend.

[robemcdonald]

Finished last night....

superb stuff!

[robemcdonald]

Having finished the new version of the falcon I thought I'd have a go at another model for the same site.

[dr_gn]

Very good.

Not sure if I'm being thick here, but these are printable downloads, right? Where do you get them?

And any special requirements on paper thickness etc?

[robemcdonald]

They are downloadable. All the sci-fi models are from this site

http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~sf-papercraft/sifi.htm...

I print them out on 160gsm card which is about £5 for 100 sheets from hobbycraft, the range etc..

I use a standard HP inkjet printer on high quality, so nothing special there either.

The models on that link really don't take too long. In fact I have already built another....







The only thing not on the site is the stand for the enterprise. I didn't like the one in the per so designed my own ( which I need to finish and paint)

[Hard-Drive]

Brilliant. Fancy a crack at the Falcon! Thanks.
