  Approx. 1/50 scale Stinger Drone. Took day to finish this. A lot messier than it was supposed to be, and parts are unfortunately not to scale. The 33mm gun would have been something like 0.15mm radius, so I just cut a paper clip and glued it on. Radiators are just messed up. I might not do capitals for my... sanity. |

HOWE MAI ARCHAILECT.
I was trying the same thing for schoolwork, but it looks awful so I scrapped it. It was just a simple rod representing a gunship and two orange radiators...

I would be interested with more detailed models than what we have currently. |

In before we are able to 3D print ships. But only ones made of paper. Has anyone tried using paper armour on spaceships? |

paper armour was used to stop swords in japan once upon a time before guns China, Japan and Korea all used paper armor. Said paper was more like a fiber-y leathery thing, tho. They could wash the ink used to write on it off with water and reuse the paper. |

I believe newspapers are better for pykrete then sawdust... is what I vaguely remember from years ago

A number of racing yachts have been built with resin impregnated paper hulls (the resin makes the paper waterproof). Much lighter than wood, but still cheaper than GRP.
