I still haven't decided if I am brave enough to build it.

Well, it looks very nice, but also very advanced... quite daunting...

Got a response from Mr. Roe; "Absolutely! Itโs nice seeing that little thing keep popping up over the years. I canโt believe that model is nearly 20 years old, and now I REALLY feel old."So now the packet is here; www.onemonk.com/guest-dl.html

I've taken the plunge! Wish me luck and if I'm not back in three days, send out the search dogs!

Fold it in your mind first, then draw in the flaps where you know you will need them.

Fold it in your mind first, then draw in the flaps where you know you will need them. For complex builds, like this, I usually print up a couple of copies as blavk and white, draft quality on normal paper. That way, I can work out any tricky bits before the proper build.

Another method for flaps is to not bother trying to figure out where they go until after you've cut out the pieces and tried to fold them up. Then cut slips of paper and glue them onto the inner sides as flaps.

I tend not to bother with flaps/tabs. Because I use quite thick card, you get a decent edge, so you can glue it together like as with a plastic model kit. But sometimes I do add a slight tab to the inside for the other part to locate to: And yes, this is proving to be very challenging! Still, I'm not rushing it.
