Building the GRISSOM

[AdmiralGR]

Hoping I'll post regular updates on this build

It's the Grissom by Martin Sanger (http://paperaviation.de/Grissom/grissom.html)

Problem 1 - instructions in German. Sorted that but the instructions are complex and there are loads of parts

Oh well - once more into the breach......

This is the model that got me into paper modeling! I was rained in for the winter, I realized I didnt enjoy playing the keyboard after months of playing, so I started looking on the internet for something new. The model didnt look like paper?!?! So I tried it and got instantly addicted! Enjoy building this one!

I'm German, I could translate..!

May take you up on that at some point

I've used translate in Word and its OK but some of the translation may "off"

Night 1's work

Looks little but lots of intricate work!

That would be great for us, mono-lingual Americans!!!!




Thanks ahead.

You're making me want to start a build of this kit!

It's intricate but I'm enjoying it and it's keeping me sane!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Is it just me or are there a lot of ST models on the go?

 

[AdmiralGR]

This I my 6th in the last 7 weeks so I may cositue a spike in the number!

 

[zathros]

I think this is the nicest build of this model I have seen!!

 

[AdmiralGR]

Tonight's update

It's really weighty. Considering it's just card, I guess it has a lot of internal structure giving it some ridigity (not sure on that spelling!)

Not overly keen on the seems copydex maybe not be the best glue.....

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

That looks really good! I see that there is quite a bit of greebling potential in the model!

 

[AdmiralGR]

Going to build them the greeble them later!
