Go for it man, keep us updated with your progress. Well, you dont win anything for finishing it except for the pure satisfaction. hehe :lol:
How long do you think it will take you?

Hi guys,

I've printed one one and started to make it since yesterday and and can assure you that it'll take forever.

The main problem is that it's just too small...

So what I might do is print one more set, and then from a photocopier, print it out say twice the size and make that. It'll be easier and it'll be a bigger FTO... :lol:

Might see how I go with the normal one first.

But I tell you, don't hope for any thing soon...it's so detailed. Put it this way, I have never seen a paper model where you make the tyres, the breaks, the head lights...etc...everything is more detailed than a plastic model and it's on paper...!!!!

Geez~~

You have to try it to believe it!!!!

I printed it out on A3 rather than A4 paper. It should make it twice as big, still haven't got around to building it and I printed it out over a year ago.

I downloaded it from here:-

I can't remember if it needed the japanese ime font pack but some of the instructions are detailed on the webpage.
