Paper Model

This site details the construction of a 1/4 scale Mercury Capsule. It is assumed the builder has some experience with card modeling. If not, check the Links pages for some card modeling sites. At least build some models from Dan's excellent Delta 7 Studios site. This model was started to verify part designs for the full scale model and has kind of taken a life of it's own. It is not complete but new parts will be posted as they are completed. There are LOTS of pieces and the instructions may not be the greatest so if you decide to build one, be patient.....

Some high resolution photos are in the Gallery page. The model is 18 inches in diameter and over 27 inches tall.

I'm not sure how to handle posting all these files but I'll try to keep release dates on the files so the builder will know if they have the latest ones. Maybe I can include an update log. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
