Wow, wow and more wow... this is great work!
The gloss on some of the parts (esp the carbon fiber ones) are sprayed on?
Really impressive build...

BTW, what kind of paper/card stock are you using?
The one that metmania used is a matte 145 gsm paper/card stock

Haha... ok, no spraying involved then...

Wow, you're using 220gsm paper! Did you have to trim much to ensure a good fit (seeing that the designer used 145gsm)?

Thanks I thing I've got it all. Now to figure out the scale so I can try to rescale down to 1/24-25 to go with my other stuff. When they say 1 foot model are they referring to 1 inch to the foot (1/12 scale)?

i don't think so ..i think its 1 foot long when complete ..

Thanks, figured that was what they meant, but was hoping it'd be as easy as just printing a 1/12th at 48%. When I get around to it will need to scale a wheel and do a bit of math to come up with a %. Need to work those parts of the brain occasionally anyway.
