Honda Freed

Hi, made a Honda Freed for a friend as he currently drives one.

Got the template from here.

But I recoloured it and printed at 70%; I also scratch built the undercarriage with free-spinning wheels.

It's not as good as some of the builds in this forum, but, like I said, I'm just a very amateur paper modeller.

Very good. How did you do the free-spinning wheels? Wire?

For the axles, I used a straightened paper clip - my skills ain't good enough to make paper rods! lol

How did you attach the wheels to the paperclip and keep them aligned properly?

Well, I just used PVA glue to glue round the axle and the inner wheel piece. Once it has started to dry, I rolled the whole part (2 wheels and axle) on a flat surface making sure that the wheels were aligned. Not too difficult.

But I must say, I like the PVA glue that I'm using cos it allows some minor alignment before totally drying hard and clear.

Well, the alignment looks really good
