We need a modeling competition here...Evren and Leland? Both guys have a lot of talent!

Evren, that's some incredible work. I found that page a few months ago and downloaded all of the PDFs with the intent of building a few of the models (I particularly like the V-Max). When I opened up one of the files, however, I nearly fainted at the complexity and number of pieces!

You must be amazingly patient.

thanks! it is certainly more patience than any talent on my part (i have two daughters under 2). I must say I enjoyed building the smaller & simpler car models on the czech web site more though -- www.ymjr.cz

That's funny Evren, my father built an entire Pocher car during my infancy. He used to tell me I'd keep him awake crying at night, so he figured he'd do something productive.

This is the same kit that he built. The wire wheels must be individually assembled!

wow, that is a beautiful model! you must have been quite a nightmare as a kid!... j/k :)

:D Perhaps I was, but my parents always told me how good I was and what a pain in the neck my sister was. ;) That's when my father got back into R/C airplanes.

Does anyone make a 944 model kit? Just curious - might be a nice project to make myself a "mini me" of my baby. . .

I found an papercraft from 944 but I can not do a download... if anyone can...

I built a working trebuchet out of paper once. You could actually put small rocks in the box for weight and launch small pebbles and marbles. There was some company that was selling cut outs. You needed to punch the paper pieces out and fold and tape. Wish I had pictures of it.
