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
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

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
