Paper halberds

You wait for a bus for ages...nothing comes and then several turn up at the same time.

I was painting the Swiss inf from miniart and decided that I needed halberds. The ones supplied are crap and I don´t have enough Zvezda ones so did this (as usual the pics won´t upload) so
look here
Fire at will came up with the same idea...first bus

and then Renauld came up with this .....second bus (I hope the pics show up)

Thanks...Someone suggested it could be used to make bits for WWI planes...I reckon it might be possible to make a whole WWI plane using it.

An interesting development of this technique! :thumbup:
I think is possible to build even very complex structures with paper and cardboard,
it's just a matter to extrapolate the geometrical shapes, cut the various parts, glue and assembly.
The only exceptions impossible to built are the oval and spheric shapes. :nono:
There are many templates to print available on some specialized websites...

In fact I think to remember also some kind of cardboard paper models of WWI planes...
There are cardboard models of houses, robots, tanks, starships...
from basic and easy models to very high detailed and quite difficult to cut and glue to assemble.

Sometimes I use paper and cardboard bits to make some parts of the models I build. :thumbup:
Once I made some Star Wars starships that way, all in paper and cardboard apart from few parts.

I even made the same model in different scale reducing the size of prints :headbang: :

A WWI airplane sure is more difficult, :drool:
probably some other materials is necessary to integrate the paper structure...
but sure is not impossible... :thumbup:
