El Al Boeing 777-200 Paper Replika repaint

[Erik Zwaan]

Looking good, Isaac. Building an airliner is pretty straightforward and good for a change. Nice livery, that's part of the attraction.

Main improvement is the use of wood spars made from coffee stirrer.


Here it is

I didn't know there is an EL AL jet in downloads.Very nice work Isaac.I had a bad experience with paper-replika B757 recently (also in downloads),I'm glad your B777 fits the way it should.

Btw-I use to use coffee stirrers as well until I tried corrugated card from cereal boxes.That card is like a waffle,in different boxes comes in different thicknesses,it's much lighter than wood and best of all you can squish or sand it at the end so it tapers gently.Try it,you might like it.

What was your issue with the B757 model? Was it the wing to fuselage fit? If so, that is the only major issue on the B777 model.

I love the 777 model, Isaac.



I don't like the petal nose on the PR airliners though. That being said, you did a great job with them.

Fuselage part size was all over the place.No section fitted to next one properly by wide margin.I didn't even get to wings.

Oh,well.You can't win them all

I wonder if you selected the "fit to page" option when printing the PDF file. Always check for it as it is often a default setting. You should make sure it prints at full scale or select a scale for the entire file pages. All of them must be the same.

If the files are in JPEG, you need a program ( like Photoshop ) that maintains the original full scale of each page as well.
