No. It's totally doable, but you would have to break it up into so many parts and there would be so many pages, not to mention that it would look pretty clunky with all of the seems.....

I knocked this out this morning, while drinking coffee and waking up. This is a TOS Monitor with base and graphics. I hope to print this up and build it. If at all possible, I'm going to get some of the graphics printed up with transparency paper and shove a light in it and light it up. Easy-peasy, any one can do it. I also intend to show that you can use the paper templates to cut plywood, compensate for the thickness and build a full scale model with very little effort. I'm going to laugh at the first person that says this is unbuildable. LOL!

I may even make a movie.....

LOL!, Yeah, I had to throw that in. Got it printed up and got the transparencies printed as well. I've got a couple of different versions already in pdf and pdo, should have it built and lit today.

you know if made the right size you could drop an ipad or tablet pc in this thing and have a working model.

That's the most awesome idea I've heard all year.

...... I'm not going to get this done tonight, I've got to modify a couple of parts to make it lightable, I do however have the three main parts ready to go, I've got to make one more part and modify for lighting, insert the lights and the choice of screens and I'm done.... Woot! How's that for starting construction of a model in the computer, printing it up and having it lit and ready to display in less that 36 hrs....????

Here's proof of the keychain thingy.....
