GWagen models for free!

Yes, though a little bit of DIY-skills are required:

I printed the model in my colour EPSON printer in thin carton and let it to dry for about 1 week. I used Super Glue 3 (all my fingers are still glued to one another). The problem is that you need a carton thick enough to add rigidity to the final product and then it is impossible to bend. But I had a great time and am very proud of my botch job. For pictures, please visit the GWOA forum> http://www.gwoa.co.uk/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3320

Plenty of other models here: www.streetpaper.de/

This is freeware and therefore cannot be sold. This is a warning for unscrupolous Ebayers who want to make money out of everything.

Enjoy!

Yes, good idea Bill.... you cannot figure how difficult is to drive a G with your thumbs glued to the index fingers in both hands!

By the way... nobody praised my DIY skills!

Now that is a really realistic looking model and the background is so true to life too

Mort. I admire your DIY skills I recall when you changed the bulb in your diff lock switch too now that was classic

RE: GWagen models for free!

Mort - Thanks a million for the links. My daughter and I just finished the SWB Police wagen. She had a blast and with her considerable origami skills it went very well. I found that using a small tube like that from a chapstick dispenser worked well for assembling the wheels/tyres. What a blast. As I put her to bed to night she asked if we were going to do another one tomorrow. I said I was not sure but if it is as cold and rainy as today, I might be tempted.

I am so glad to hear that... What kind of paper did you use? What I find most difficult is to bend the paper and yet it has to have some rigidity...

RE: GWagen models for free!

Not that I have nothing else to do, but using some of mine 40gr presentation paper and slightly cutting with an X-acto Knife along the bending area of the paper it's easy......unfortunately my first attempt got caught by BD the bulldog, the next will be registered on photo before the "mut" gets to it!

amzimmy thanks for the challenge!

RE: GWagen models for free!

I used Kodak photo paper. My duaghter and I experimented with various types of paper and that middle weight, matte finish paper seemed the right weight and finish. It worked really well. When my wife got home at 1 am froma long flight and we showed it to her even she was impressed! Now that says a lot!
