The ultimate papermodel

[billy.leliveld]

Yeah, I just hate pirates , and besides of that realy proper scans are very hard to produce, I' m speaking with some experience gained over the last couple of days here..

hmmm.

I still have the Wrebbit Mercedes written in my wishlist. And the recent build by StanGolob just put it higher in the list

ultimate
that is so all encompassing, many variads are passed over to get an
''ultimate'' jaundra.
all i could think of would be a life sized paper model of marylinn monroe standing over that grate with her dress blowing up.
that would probably fit in the all encompassing ultimate jaundra.
im sure maybe something else like
a b-52 bomber with every thing on it , interior, screw heads, lights, inside the turnbines, etc.......
would also qualify

(Quoting Spaceagent-9)

And, one can imagine, several discussions in depth that would result in divorce, or the wish for same.

Unlike Jessica Rabbit, Marilyn Monroe was a real, and at times controversial, being. And although that most famous of cinematic scenes would make for a mighty fine model to produce for prosperity, it is likely to in some households also produce a pronounced lack of domestic harmony, aka: "Domestic Bliss".

Kind and Respectful Regards my friends, Uyraell.

Has anyone heard of the scale 1:8 Mercedes SSKL from Schreiber? Certainly that card kit would merit some mention?

I'm sorry, but I have to sub-categorize. Most of the models mentioned so far are for purchase. If I were, say picking strictly from free downloads, I'd lean toward The Disney Experience Sleeping Beauty Castle for architecture. For aircraft, I'd have to go with Peter Zorn's incredible Ford Trimotor 5-AT (the PDF is 308 pages!). For ships, I might choose one of the beautiful Canon boats-- their Esmerelda, to choose one.

But you only need something like 30 pages to build one of the many options available

i still dont know what the ultimate paper model would be,
trying not to exclude any jaundra,
maybe some kind of subjet,
with a anime type girl warrior with more gun that the matrix on her costume and many klingonesce blades, with a classic 57 chevy onboard that she drives around when not flying into danger.
the whole thing shouldnt be more than 15o sheets.
and be about 9 feet long.

Somewhere in this thread, of course the name of the Brussels Marketplace published by Makit in the early '80ties has of course cropped up. I am trying to drum up interest for a possible re-issue of that and other Makit titles - see my other threads about Makit. Reactions to this post will help me guesstimate the number of potential buyers. Please note: I will not treat your reactions as real orders, just as a source of information. But of course I will inform you if and when the plan goes ahead!

It would be fun to gather suggestions and make a poll, or something, so here are a few of my suggestions..
The Alan Rose DC3
The Wrebbit Mercedes
The Prague Castle
The Kooklik Big Boy
The Dr Zarkov F15
The KenLWest XB 70

I love the Alan Rose Corvette, and yes, the DC# is hard to beat. You guys did such a fantastic job of it
