Hey everyone, do you guys remember that arwing cut-out featured in an older issue of Nintendo Power Magazine?  Well, I found scans of the pages, including all parts and instructions! Here is the file to download!  :D

These are cool! Thanks for sharing :)

No problem! Now all I have to do is find some card-stock paper and print away!

You happen to know if the originals of these had certain areas that acted like panels that rested above another section, making it so you require the original materials, or would simply printing it onto paper allow you to do the same?

I'm not entirely sure, although I think card-stock paper should hold up ok.

What I mean is, were there sections on the original that simply printing out a copy wouldn't reproduce?

I remember that youtube episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd trying (and failing) to make that thing. xD

But thanks for contributing this, tho! :yes:

Will try this out, when I have time. However, downloading inmediately!

(And if anybody complains,  :peppy: told me to do it)

:peppy: Download this while you do a barrel roll!

Me : Of course!

Hey guys, I built it!

For those of you who are going to attempt it, I have a few tips:

First, separate all the pieces, but don't cut them out yet. The original print had double-sided pages, but if you try to double-side print these pics, the outlines won't match up. I suggest roughly cutting out the pieces, finding which ones go back-to-back with which other ones, line them up, then glue them together. After the glue dries, cut the piece out so you end up with a double-sided, double-thickness piece. It's difficult to describe, but I'm gonna make a little tutorial slideshow next time I build this puppy to explain better.

Be sure to use a good pair of scissors, a gluestick, an X-acto or hobby knife (for scoring the fold lines) and have some scotch tape handy for re-enforcement. Once you have all your pieces laid out and ready, score all the fold lines and start building! I suggest building the nose section (parts 1,2,3 and 7) first, then add on the rest of the stuff.

Be patient, and it'll turn out nice.

Nice work Showtime. I'll have to put together one myself. After I've built the 1:24 scale Corvette C3 I've got lying around(and it's 1:1 scale sibling of course), and the 1:48 scale M26 Pershing, and the hundreds of unfinished Games Workshop miniatures I've got lying around. :lol:

no need for cardstock. Just print it on normal printer paper, because you have to glue the pieces together back-to-back. It ends up being a good workable medium, and it's pretty tough too.

That is still better than anything I could ever do.

I'm sure you could match my work. It doesn't take a lot of skill, just a lot of patience!
