Thank you for the link! I must have missed the original post (if there was one) as I would have liked too have taken part...

Oh well. At least I know about it now ;-)

yes me too!,.. By the time i stumbled on it it was too late!,.. but I found the models and they are pretty cool!,.. the only complaint I have is about the hands,.. they only have the outer part modelled and the palm area is exposed paper,.. and the thumb is thick as a sheet of paper,.. i guess printing out some extra sheets and mirroring it for the inside is the best solution,..

When building the Zephyr, be sure to reinforce the hip join and waist with a extra layer glue inside. Waist is the weakest join that carrying a lots of weight, double layers parts-26, 27, 28. Reinforce top and bottom of part-25 and top of part-42. Have fun!

Now that you bought that up to my attention, I'm going to build a second and this time I'll try repaint.
