Description
Took me about a day and a half including an all-nighter. LoL. It's very small as one can clearly see. Made out of just card stock paper and the cockpit canopy is one piece of folded water bottle plastic.Click here to see a better angle of it [link]

Looks absolutely brilliant! I would love to have the template! Would look even better bigger though..... +fav

Thnx. ^^ I have been thinking about making a larger replica model, but an actual template would be difficult to make, cause all the parts are literally free-hand drawings cut out & fixed together based on memory...

Do it for the--? YES OVERLORD HYPNOTOAD... @,@ REBOOTING MEMORY BANKS... FILE FORMAT FOUND... NOW RE-UPLOADING THIRD DIMENSIONAL SCHEMATIC FILES... ADJUSTING IMAGE SIZE BY X1.5... X1.75... X2.0... DUPLICATE SCHEMATIC FILE CREATED. MEMORY ROUTED FROM "SHORT-TERM" TO "LONG-TERM" MEMORY PROCESSORS... ENDING APPLICATION... Hmm, I think I CAN make a template... @_@ It'll be about 10 inches wingspan, 6 inches in length.

It looks so... detailed... how did you ever manage
to get that much detail into something so small?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... I'm not quite sure. I actually made sure most of the major pieces are just one or two folded pieces of paper. It started out with a quick symmetrical sketch of the nose & I just cut that out. The G-diffusers are 3 folded pieces that I first drew out and multiplied using a lead/graphite image transfering method on the paper to insure symmetry (Alchemy usage) Those struts at the back for the wings are one piece folded & the cannons are each equal length paper colored and rolled into a sturdy cylinder. Now the cockpit canopy is a one piece of a small bit off a plastic water bottle, trimmed and folded into itself. I had no other tools other than a standard pair of scissors, an X-acto razor blade & my hands... and memory, most of this was done by memory, cause I did pull an all-nighter to do this & didn't want to have the TV an my Wii on playing SF Assault for reference all night... also, too much electricity.

yeah, using SF Assault for reference can be annoying. I especially dislike that the vehicles disappear
after a bit, and if you pause the screen darkens making it difficult to see.\\
Amazing that you did such an outstanding job by memory.

Yep... it is. I guess that's about 97% paper, 2% clear plastic and 1% other material, ie tape and super glue.

Thnx! I know its a bit small, but I know it's the detail that counts.
