Thanks Manfred. Last night I tried every way I could think of to roll or fold the support struts for the engine actuators and fairings, but I couldn't get satisfactory results. Tonight I stopped at my local hobby store and bought some pre-paper in form of 1/16th square stock spruce. Not a lot of progress but definitely in a better mood!

I don't know if it's the paper thickness or maybe just a difference in the card stock itself, but when I made Greelt's F-1 after he first released it, I had much better luck rolling the small tubes. One aspect that is different, this time is it's printed with a laser rather than ink-jet and I wonder if the heat setting has affected the papers' flexibility?
