Will Vale Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 That's seriously cool. Can you explain which bits are paper and which aren't? It looks like the planes *are* paper, which is just incredible! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlonzg Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) hi there The Planes and vehicles are paper made and the top part of the hull including the landing deck and island.Mast is made out of the fibreglass rode and piano wires which are rigid what is make them a good material for this sort of construction. Bottom part of the hull(sank in a bed stand) is made out of expanding foam covered with putty polished and coated with right colour paint a couple pics below show the whole process of building the bottom section of the hull.
