Mini/Micro Fifth Element Air Taxi

For a Mini Micro contest entry I selected Airdave's model of the Fifth Element Airtaxi. I reduced the model by exactly 50% so this one will be in the Mini category. I printed the model twice - once on 65 lb cardstock and again on regular printer paper. Some of the parts are just too small to work with on the heavier paper. Thinking about it now, I suppose I could have just delaminated the cardstock and saved on ink - d'oh!

Here's an absolutely terrible picture of the printed sheets, with a ruler for size reference.



My camcorder takes pretty good macro photos, so the pics of the finished model should be much better. I have a pretty neat idea for a display base. We'll have to see how it all turns out. Finished photos before contest end.
