    Paper model fun!

    I found this whole concept on the NASIOC forums. A couple of links to downloadable templates for paper car building. It looks like stupid fun and there are some REALLY great looking, very detailed ones there. I think I am gonna give it a go and redecorate my office with some lightweight toys, heh. Unfortunately, the VX models are VERY weak, but it is still a MUST DO. There are some Subaru WRX ones that are insanely great looking though. Just download the template, printout, and start cutting and glueing.

    Enjoy.

    WormGod,

    Some of those models are CRAZY! Might be a fun way to kill an afternoon, or two.

    Thanks for the link.

    Maybe he should have started a "PAPERview" business?

    Tell me about it! I downloaded about "85 megs worth" of PDFs here at work yesterday (ya, IT let me have it for that) and there are some that end up looking more detailed than actual plastic model kits. I dunno.... I am far too anal and impatient for this kind of stuff, but I thought I would give it a shot. I especially like the '06 WRX WRC one.... *drool*

    And you guys make your jokes.... I will have the coolest, yet, most flammable office in no time.

    This is a easy one, I built this Christmas tree with my younger daughter last year. I was able to use the color laser printer at work after hours, using 60lb thick paper.

    Lots of projects for kids there.
