If you haven’t been following on Google+, I’ve updated both the Flying Saucer and Demon Clock mini paper models. They have been re-drawn with cleaner, smoother graphics, and the cut/fold lines are clearly defined.
As an added bonus, I’ve re-structured all of the donation prices in the Donation Center to give you a bit more bang for your buck. I know that the economy is tough on everyone’s pocket.
I blame Fred Folger for this, I really do. Fred is the designer of the Country Bear Playhouse featured in the video. If I had to withstand the torture of listening to my nephews sing and play with it, you have to, too!
The bow has been modeled along with the doors. Work now focuses on the rear of the ship and the Captain’s cabin, which took nearly six hours to model.

I don’t normally add papercrafts from Disney websites due to their sheer numbers. But, in this case, I made an exception because they were too cool and geeky. These Starspeeder 1000 models are simple, and they’re on my list of future paper models to design . . . and to build with my nephew.
Beginning to model the ship’s hull using Blender (Version 2.46). This took nearly three hours to model.

Today, three great paper models by three different people are added to the ever-growing list of paper models.
This is the first of many videos detailing the process of a paper model from start to finish. The series begins by gathering reference images from scans & online sources, and studying details.

Check out this fully-illuminated build of the Disneyland Paris Sleeping Beauty Castle paper model. The trees feature fiber optics, and the model was very well constructed.
I’ve been getting the itch to design a paper model of a classic Disney ship, especially after finding several new reference images online. But, what I would like to do is record video of the whole process.
The videos would include modeling the ship in 3-D, converting to 2-D, adding graphics, and assembly. Maybe even the photo shoots.
The two recording devices that I have are not up-to-par. My webcam is good, but the auto-focus is constantly resetting itself, and it isn’t mobile. My Kindle’s front-facing camera is poor quality, but portable. I think the best solution is to get a camcorder instead of a smart phone like I had originally planned.
Becky’s two contributions are both modifications for existing models. One adds a decorative base for the Space Mountain models, and the other adds fire suppression boxes to the Main Street Train Station model.
