The paper arrived and I’ve made the enlarged prints, 5 pages total with a few spare parts placed on the pages just in case.

This is going to be a rather large and long model when completed. I’d guess about 18". The paper is heavy but I will have to strengthen the main body ( red cylinder ). Not sure if I’ll glue it to another sheet, or just let another sheet unroll inside the cylinder. I’ll decide when I get to that part.

Sure that it took a lot of ink to print those orange/red cylinder and capsule parts but it looks great. I’ve used remanufactured ink cartridges since buying the printer and they work perfectly and the cost is low.

My thoughtful wife gave me some new knives for Christmas since all but one of my others have disappeared like socks in a dryer. She listens to my pleas!

I guess next up is starting to cut and build. My work area is in the basement and it’s more than cold right now since I’m in the upper Northeast US. I’ve ordered a smaller cutting mat I can use upstairs in the living room to cut and build most of this on. When it gets to the larger cylinder I’ll just have to brave the cold basement.

Chomping at the bit!
