Papermodelers 10th anniversary scale display

[Rubenandres77]

The papermodelers display released for the 10th anniversary is easy to build,
but a bit tricky in a couple of folds.

You can download it here:

And the traditional display, without the 10th anniversary logo can be download here:

This thread was created in order to guide you with the proper way of building it.



Green lines represent traditional "mountain folds"
Red lines represent "valley folds"

You may want to add a dart cut where indicated by the green arrow, as it is the limit between a short valley and a long mountain folds.





The folded (still unglued) structure from the front:





Other views so that you can understand the folds:










To close it, I start gluing this marked zone. The one with the additional dart cut:





This is how it looks from behind:
(actually, the small 1cm valley fold is not a fold at all.)






When you finish gluing this big wall, it looks like this:







Now you only need to close the "L":



Once closed it is finished!





There you have it, a nice small scale display you can use to photograph small parts, or put besides bigger models.











Enjoy your scale display!

Yep, I made that little dart cut in your first picture. I also found that not making a fold on that little glue tab at the end works too.
Here is my take on the folds and cuts needed.


I also rotated the 10th Anny logo on the end panel.

Your construction photos are very good.

I was talking about the head and arm that appear to be the teacher from Another Brick in the Wall?

I believe this is the model Ruben is working on Free Model Contest #5 - Moekami's "Princess of the Crystal"

Right. The hand is from the Princess of the Crystal.

The Head is from the Mothra monster that comes with UHU's simple Tokyo Tower.
#050 Simple Tokyo Tower

Those are still WIPs. Someday I may finish them.

Pink Floyd paper models would be interesting. The teacher and mother puppets from the wall, the inflatable pig from Animals... would be nice.

This is interesting. I had designed (with the help of Revell-Fan) the same thing about 2 years ago. It is available in Zealot's resource section.

Ron Burns found the original at the cardmodel.cn forum, and posted about it here Maybe a new take on the scale cube

And I managed to ask for and receive permission to recolor it with the appropriate attribution.
