FANTASTIC!!!! The first paper!! WOOOHOOOO!!! and in 1/25th as well!!!! Good choice.....

I think you made exactly the right decision with the scale. 1/25th is certainly the way to go.

I was going to be happy with 1/48, but agree with Fozzy "WOOOHOOO!!!" for 1/25th.

Scale it down at 52.08% and you'll be happy as a Xmass tree :D

Thanks for the scaling info, but I'm happy with the 1/25 decision. Then it fits with a majority of the my stuff: paper and plastic.

Hi there
As many requests , I unrolled in 1/25 and start to build from Tender's internal frame first.

Suspensions and wheel axels parts in A4 size.

Small progression at tender. Parts' dimension fitting test. They're all well fit.

Thank you Julian. Now I'm coloring the Tender Tank surface. I spent 6 pages of A4 (and a lot of ink) for cover both side of the tank.
:D

Wow, how many ink cartridges wil it take to build this beauty. Not that that will dissuade Julian from building it.

Another fine example of your genius kooklik!!

Thank you B-Manic. I found another way to save ink.
:D
Just tried to make the skin be glossy. By the following method
1. Spray painting gloss black on 190 190 grms gloss paper.
2. Pattern drawing by CraftRobo (plotting / cutting machine)

3. Die cutting by CraftRobo.

4. Paste the Decal for logo.
