Making a paper model flyer for shows...

[Mauri]

Hi all,
I just wanted to say I came out with a nice idea for the flyer...

I will post images in a few days. Next friday is holiday here is Spain, so 3 free days will bring the much needed time for this project :p

Stay tuned.

Great! I have something else in the works too I will use this for keep an eye out for a post tonight or tomorrow!

One model worth having a photo of on flyer is the awesome aston Martin DBR9 , and paper replika site has a wide variety of unconventional subjects to choose from. I'd also recommend Taipei 101 skyscraper model. I can photograph mine if you want to include it

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions!

[Mauri]

I know the deadline is approaching... I hear the tic-tac-tic-tac behind my ears :D

Ok, here's my design propposal:

A US Letter divided in 3 parts, printing both sides. I suggest the design is 3 rows instead of 3 columns so that each third has more space to play with.

Top part: A text + image to catch attention of passers by. Like a cover.
Center part: information and images
Bottom part: Useful links, suggesting the part be detached and given to a friend.

So if we imaging this in both sides, it means the "cover" part fits the links part from the other side, so one can keep one link part for himself and give the other away.

I came up with the conclusion that more images and fewer text is definately better.

Here are the images from side A, still working in side B (hope to complete really soon).




Hope you like it, I really couldn't spend the time I would have liked too. Please excuse any mistakes in the text, english is not my mother tongue.

Corrections and suggestions and definately welcome

WOW, that looks great imo.

Mauri - astounding! The artistic (along with the engineering/fabrication) skills displayed daily here are just outstanding.

looks excellent. the white background and clean cut images make it look very professional. nice one.

a few observations

Should we think about putting a Fine Scale Paper Modelers logo on there to promote the group (there's a message board with paper modelers for it)? trouble is, there's no logo designed yet! so we may have to skip that one for now.

sky-scrappers should be spelt skyscrapers (your english is a lot better than my spanish!)

i would have had papercraft paradise rather than paper forest, it seems a bit more general and exciting than paper forest IMHO
Papercraft Paradise | PaperCrafts | Paper Models | Card Models

also, I would have had a mario picture or pikachu pokemon picture instead of say the insect but it works well as it is, and you did all the hard work so ignore my own personal view. if you want them though, here's the links i found

All in all, superb job.

Great suggestions! But how about the Mario instead of the green robot? Never liked it anyways

I didn't check your links yet, but I hope the Mario has a totally white background or I won't be able to use it...

[piginapoke]

Don't think Mario pic has a white background, might be one found on Google images, alternatively pikachu would be good, or one of the pixar papercraft (maybe not cars as you have the aston already. The robodoesnt look very distinctive, maybe a gundam or r2d2?
