Well done ya'll

Great work so far guys! My eyes hurt just looking at those models!

Here is an entry, not great, but small. Built at 25% of intended print size (75% reduction). Dave's Rommels Rod.

The last picture has the vehicle perched on a U.S. quarter.

Great job there Ray, that is a cool micro Rommel's' Ride you whipped up.

I decided to go to the Mini Side of the contest this time and just for something different, I dug around on the Paper Replika site and found Erik Schubach's Commodore SX 64 Executive Computer model. Shrinking it by half and putting it together was simple enough but something was missing. It wasn't until I got to looking around on the 'net that I discovered the cables from the CPU to the Keyboard was what was buggin' me. A couple of folded up sections of card and a couple of inches of black insulated copper wire into some drilled holes fixed it soon enough. So this is my third entry on the contest and first into the "Mini" side of things.



And no, I never got to tinker around on one of these, the "Executive Model" was much to 'spensive back in the day, but I did play around on the old Commodore 64 Plain Jane versions. I can recall writing a program and spending three days debugging it so that the darn thing would actually run. :D LOL

Heres my next micro, as companion to tex's rommels rod and since airdave wanted to see one :P its airdave's munster koach at 25% of standard size.

[airdave]

no...wait...what I meant to say, was I don't think any one of you can build the Boothill Express that small.

It sounds to me that Airdave is challenging the micro builders to make his kits in that size.

You are running out of models Dave.....
