Hi all,

I finally started building the AA 747 from Murph's Models, kindly provided by papermate. I printed 4 pages on 1 sheet and coated the printed parts with white glue. It takes some time, but I like the semi-glossy look. Here's today's work. Looks a bit messy though.

Good start. Interesting technique.

Looks good so far. What scale did it turn out to be? Looks rather small. So around 1/400?

Good luck! Looks tiny next to that guitar pick.

Great start, it's a very small scale.

Are you building stock?

Looks nice, although if you're going to go with a pick that heavy, try a Golden Gate. Better feel and control than a Fender....

A great start Dong-Woo.

What paper/printer did you use? That is an excellent looking
metal finish.

Thank you all for the interest.

Never tried those before. They do look comfortable, thanks for the suggestion.

I just printed the model with a Canon Pixma E569, on normal 180g paper. The model itself has metallic textures, and I just used glue to make it shine.... I'm STILL looking for metallic paper, but I can't seem to find some here...

Got the fuselage done. More work will be done tomorrow.
