the model is about as wide as half an a4 page and a bit more then a page long

its extreamly fiddely/cool!

the models about 17 a4 color pages of print (black and white if you done mind missing out on the coloured seats etc)

I remember someone else posting up the web address where you could download this from, and they were going to give it a go... I wonder if they ever completed it?

I had a crack at it a while ago. Best done using A3 sized good strong paper. A4 is just too fiddly for some of the small folds. In the end i gave up and bought a plastic model kit.

THe plastic model is a Fujimi kit 1:24 scale. You can get em from most model/hobby stores around. I dont think any other mob make them.

I came across a site the other day that had 4-6 differnet FTO models, couldn't be stuffed looking for it again, so I suggest anyone who is interested just do a search on google.

Tis all good, but a search of the forums might have turned it up for you - lotsa useful and not so useful

bits of info laying around.

big prob i had with that paper model is trying to attach transparency film to the paper - it doesnt work so well, the paper warps severely. Maybe i am just gumby at it

I printed the model out in A3 rather than A4, and since then all I've done this the paper was sat it on a shelf waiting for me to do something with it
