Perpetual Calendar House

[SCEtoAUX]

Fold4world: Calendar in 3D Paper Model has some perpetual calendars in the shape of houses among others. Click on the Shopping link then scroll down the page. Clicking on the picture will open a pdf of the model. Here is some of my build of CMH053.

The months are changed by rotating the top of the tower until the month shows up in the oval window. The day dates are adjusted by turning the green grass disk below the date window. There is no provision to hide the extra dates for months with less than 31 days, but most folks should be able to cope with that.

It turned out to be a nice and very handy model. I have built some of the carousel perpetual calendars on the site, but needed to do some changes to hide some of the more glaring white areas of card that show if built as presented. I also toned down the fold lines so they would not be so obvious.
