I was bored during his nap and he’s OBSESSED with planes, so I figured I’d be productive.
I’m unhappy with the forward fuselage, but other than that it honestly looks pretty good from most angles. I have a strange love of working with cardboard, it’s tons of fun as a structural material for cat trees and stuff like that
Next make it an activity together to paint it
That’s a mighty fine building material. Looks like that’s probably 200# Mullen test C-flute corrugated fiberboard!
All I know is that it has survived an afternoon with the human hurricane largely unscathed, which i find to be very impressive
Costco doesn’t skimp on cardboard, apparently
This guy burst-tests
Sweet. Some silver sparkle spray paint and its ready for the hall of fame.
A $200 laser cutter will cut cardboard, you could make all sorts of things. You could use Inkscape to design the parts. They’ll also engrave details, like printing.
I see them listed for $100, but I don’t know where you are.
Or, a 36 cent razor from home depot
I prefer that because there’s no learning curve
