Smile I am a total n00b!
Hello all, just started modelling in paper for an art project, and needed some help, or a particularly more complicated (than mine) design, this is my first ever model! so don't laugh...



This is my first go anyway, (and this was the rough version! just a proof of concept more than anything) I will be neater when i really make it, ANYWAY! i digress, here is my model of a reliant robin i made in illustrator,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k6kv3jbocdhauaa/robin-2.pdf

I know its top heavy before you say, I am going to totally redesign it from the ground up, using techniques i have learnt from doing my first model, and from looking at plans of other peoples models... (I am definitely going to put wheel arches in and make 3d wheels for the back)

anyway Hope you like it and thought i would say hello!

Welcome. I have yet to have my own first design, so no laughing here. Will we see the completed art project?

I take it you live in the UK. In the states, we had the Mercury Zephyr. I don't know of any model of it, though.

Favus,

Few new members show their own designs in their first post.
You are off to a great start.
