Hang Gliding Sherlock Holmes

[cowboyleland]

I wasn't sure if this was a model or a figure, but it is multiple parts so . . .

I will upload the build pics to flickr (if I can remember my password) and I should probably write up some instructions too.

Here is the link to the instructions: www.dropbox.com/home?preview=Sherlock+instructions.pdf

Oh, please do. I take it the torso and head just roll up???

[cowboyleland]

Yes, I call it "hard core paper modeling."

[Vermin King]

That's a technique that is used a lot in large scale military and real space models. I'd sure like to see this guy

[cowboyleland]

Hrumph, I thought I invented it. I can post some pictures as soon as my son is finished playing League of Legends. Meantime I am working on the instructions. I found it useful to label "the core" as such, so I will be reposting a slightly modified version soon.

Here is my "Main" photo




And here is the link to some more: www.flickr.com/photos/cowboyleland/sets/72157673202001045

The photo's do show some problems that my eyes couldn't see, but I'm out of time so I'm just going to have to go with this.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

I know you are busy right now Vermin King, so no rush, but when you get a chance I would really like a link to a model using similar techniques. Then I can maybe make a leap forward without re-inventing any more wheels.

I know it is used on aircraft landing gear a lot, but the most recent use I've seen is on a Saladin's shocks and steering linkage, www.papermodelers.com/forum/dave-winfields-projects/35632-1-16-british-saladin-armoured-car-project.html

Go to the last page and go one or two pages back to find the shocks

This is the craziest f*#$% thing I've ever seen, you've open my eyes to what is possible with paper models.

That is the best reaction that I could ever hope for.

Thanks!

I'm having trouble getting to your dropbox listing

[cowboyleland]

Sorry not to respond Vermin King, I put a new link at the bottom of the first post, try that. Glad you are interested. I have an idea for improving the feet . . .

[Vermin King]

Thank you, sir. Would you recommend thin cardstock or heavy paper for this?

[cowboyleland]

I use 110 lb. or 199g/m2 .

The rolling technique is also used quite frequently on model railway building models for features like chimney pots, and has been for a very long time (sorry cowboyleland ).

[cowboyleland]

S'all right. I'm used to it.
