Default Making a Concorde card model (1:144 scale)

I fount this website where you can print off the decals and basically everything you need to make your own card model of a 1:144 scale Concorde!

BAC/Aérospatiale Concorde

There`s a choice of liveries too:

Air France
British Airways
Pepsi
FedEx
Air Canada

This is what the finished model looks like:











I just printed the sheets off today and I`m going to try it! I hope it turns out as well as the pictures

Really cool, I have a Revell BA Concorde in 1/144 and I just need window decals.

Yeah but it doen't look like all weird like those origami things and you have to cut out the different pieces of the fuselage and glue them together with reinforcements inside. I'll post some pictures of what I've made so far later today.

OK so the Concorde wasn't nearly as easy as the mail box, it took 10 times longer to make! And it looks pretty crappy too



Its crumpled up from the front because I tried to make it fly and it didn't work obviously thanks to my lousy construction and workmanship
Its an unsafe Concorde!

Looks like an encounter with some runway FOD.

You gonna give it another try? one thing with paper models is you have to be exact with the cutting. those black outlines that tell you where to cut, they have to be cut off so your talking less than the width of pencil mark.

I don't think that this is really meant to be made with paper, it needs card type paper and I don't think I'll try it again, too time consuming!
