Name of This Model?

I know I had this model at one point, but can't seem to find it now on any of my drives, or online. Can't remember what it was called. Does anyone here? The model was hand drawn (I think), and had hand drawn instructions with a story of sorts.

Photo by "cadfan" of the old Cardmodels dot net.

Thanks

I think it's called 'Guardian Angel' or 'Believing the unbelievable'. The story was a sort of a love story if I remember right. Designed and hand drawn by a Canadian artist Jim Ramsay. It was published on the internet very early round 1996, I downloaded it then, printed it and then at some point lost the digital images (very low res back then). It is a white model.

I have the prints though and just by co-incident I've been just now thinking of building it. Rest assured I am going to scan the prints first. ;-)

PS Jim Ramsay's exhibition page from 2011.

Found it here; guardian angel

Thanks to The Cardmodeling FAQ. The page isn't available on the web any more, but fortunately, it was archived.

I can see now why I didn't try to build it then, even though I did have it printed out. Just a bit more than I could handle at the time. It's a different story now.

Thanks again Tappi!

Scott, this is teamwork at its best. I never got this far in my searches yesterday so thanks for direction to the originals. Should we produce a tandem build of this gem?

Don, this creation just stuck in my mind the very moment I saw it the first time. Never seen it built anywhere but when Scott showed the picture the connection was imminent - I knew what it was.
