<br />
<br />
This is what I am currently working on. This is apparently going to be a long term build.<br />
<br />
This stunning paper-craft model was created by artist DaiShi. the kit is available <a href="http://daishi.atw.hu/" target="_blank">here</a>. <a href="http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/04/16/skyrim-39-s-frost-dragon-reborn-in-paper.aspx" target="_blank">Gameinformer</a> also did a nice write up about the model.<br />
<br />
The
model was published as a PDO, WOOT!!!! I increased it's size 20% and
double tabbed it to make the seams look better. The double tabs also
make it easier to align pieces because for each tab there is a matching
tab on the piece I'm adding.<br />
<br />
I will update the <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/114228942261770890599/SkyrimSFrostDragonModel?authuser=0&feat=directlink" target="_blank">build photos</a> on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
The head is complete. This model was no small task.<br />

This is a premium model designed by<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1465209125"> </a><span class="smallText"><a href="http://www.cutandfold.info/index.html" target="_blank">[Dave Winfield]</a> available <a href="http://ecardmodels.com/republic-thunderbolt-tarheel-p-1527.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span class="smallText"><br /></span><br />
<span class="smallText">This was a fairly simple model to assemble. The instructions left allot to be desired but I didn't need step by step instructions. It's edge to edge construction. I would recommend printing the formers on 100lb card stock, I didn't and it made forming the wings a bit difficult. For the wire used on the landing gear I used a paper clip.</span><br />
<span class="smallText">The string is crochet thread.</span><br />
<span class="smallText"><br /></span><br />
<span class="smallText">I bought this kit for 1 purpose ... I'm going to make it fly. I wish there was a way to turn the flattened kit into a 3d model, but there appears to be no software to do that. Oh well, I should be able to modify the kit in photo shop or illustrator adding a motor mount, mounts for the tiny servos, make a hatch to get to the electronics and battery. The air frame is only 2 grams heaver than the flimsy foam plane I'm getting the parts from so weight shouldn't be a problem. getting a good air foil and wing dihedral will most likely going to be the hang up. I will not be using a paper propeller. There currently 2 propellers I can use with this micro brush less motor.</span><br />

This model was designed by K.Shinozaki. The kit is available <a href="http://cult-legends-the-world-of-cars.blogspot.com/2012/02/paper-model-shelby-gt350r-1964.html" target="_blank">here</a> and I created cutting patterns for Craft Robo available <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwDGdTKtcUYETUQwcUl0WGhKQ0U" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
As you can see a very gorgeous model all the way around. This is an intermediate skill build, may not be good for the beginner. There are no mechanical components, the wheels are glued in place. It's edge over tab but the way it was designed it looks like it was edge to edge.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2K_krs7o9wc/T5DkOl717FI/AAAAAAAAAEY/YUYFXcMYfQw/s1600/DSC02588.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5733333264995052626" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2K_krs7o9wc/T5DkOl717FI/AAAAAAAAAEY/YUYFXcMYfQw/s320/DSC02588.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 320px;" /></a><br />
The kit is available <a href="http://papermodels.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-kr-paper-model/">here</a> or <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwDGdTKtcUYEdkphdk9RUC1kYXc" target="_blank">here</a>. The author is unknown. If any of you are the author of this model please email me so I can give you proper credit.<br />

This is a beautiful model. Unfortunately there were no build instructions and only a single picture of it, so it was a bit of a puzzle to assemble. The kit comes with 2 textures, this one and a solid red with with striping.<br />
<br />
This is an edge to edge model, which means any glue tabs are behind the pieces instead of attached to the pieces. This gives a nice smooth finish to the model instead of a layered look. Its a little more difficult as the parts have to be cut with exact precision and a thin layer of glue applied to the edge of the part without globing the glue.<br />
<br />
The wheels turn and the steer wheels are possible. The Steering mechanism did not include all the parts to assemble it so I had to do some creative engineering to get it to work correctly and stiffen it up.<br />
