Hi, I have downloaded and printed the bat analysis file, but I can't see how it goes. Somebody has build it and can post a photo so I can see how I have to build it?

I add a photograph so you can see it....

Anyone reading care to help out a junior member? I've never tried the files myself, I always assumed the files were cut out and glue together after folding?

totally off topic but you have a cool signature :)

Glued, stapled, whatever. Yes, you gotta fold 'em up yourself.

I know that I have to fold it and glue it, but I don't know how to get the correct shape. If I glue as it is, it will leave a gap, otherwise if I make the screen completely vertical the last piece will be not visible.

Btw, I have build a lot of paper models, I leave you a pic of the biggest paper model I have made;

This one threw me off too. There's a part you have to cut off then glue/staple back on.

Once you've cut it, flip the part you cut off upside down before assembling. Hope that helped!

BTW, that paper jet is awesome.

That is an old model I've never tried it because I couldn't figure it out.

thanks

very cool model you have great skill

i to have done many model but nothing that complex I mainly make buildings.

Do you think you would want to try some Card stock Joe scale walls I made. I've built them so i know they work but with a out a good camera I have no way to show folks how to build them.
