This was my first attempt at a space vehicle. This particular Delta IV model can be found here. This is a 1:200 Delta IV as flown on flight 301 in August 2003. I did find that many of the cylindrical pieces didn't want to match up to each other. I will chock this up to my lack of skill and to pushing myself to something new. If I were to do a Delta IV again I would probably upscale this model or do something larger than 1:200. My fat fingers find 1:200 to be a bit fiddly. Overall it is a good representation of the Delta IV, but don't take my particular rendition as representative of the model. The author's images look much better than mine.

This was the second paper model I made. And I think it came out pretty good. It was a hangar for airships. Download This was an easy and straightforward build... well maybe not that easy as a beginer. But I still enjoyed it. It has both the exterior you see and an interior skin. The doors are positionable from fully open to fully closed. This would be a good pattern for anyone wishing to construct their own WWII style hangars. Click on the thumb for a larger image.  |

So my first non-frivolous attempt at a paper model was the Russian Airship "Giant". For some reason I was mentally stuck on airships at the time. *shrug* I can't tell you why at this point. I built this model in the spring of 2009. History of the airship and Download. Overall it seemed to go together pretty well. I had little clue what I was doing but forged ahead anyway. I printed it on my old inkjet and sealed it with some Krylon clear. The shape of the envelope seemed to go together well and looked good. The gondola area was a bit rougher. I don't know if it is the model or if it was me (I think it was me). But the gondola/cabin areas just didn't seem to want to fit. Click on the thumbnail for a larger image.  |
