Real world things got me very busy these days…

Anyway, I’ve found some time to test build my Mercury Monterey.

All these curves on its body almost drive me crazy. I strongly recommend that you don’t use the tabs to attach body parts. Instead, use a thin paper stripe to join adjacent faces.

Also, I’ve used silver tape to represent chromed parts, like mirrors, grating, and so on.

You can find some photos and download the model from the Stallone Cobra page.

Hope you enjoy it!

Going on my Children learning solids mission, it was time to show them about model designing.

I brought my notebook into the class, and introduce MilkShape 3D and Pepakura Designer to them. The main goal was to design, unfold and build a tooth paste tube.

They loved all process steps and contribute a lot during designing. The best moment was when they inferred that the tube can be represented as a cylinder with one end ’smashed’.

Hi Friends!

It’s been a long time since the Which car poll.

One of the most voted car was Stallone Cobra’s 1950 Mercury Monterey.

I’d like to tell you I’ve just started it’s design. So, stay tuned!

I’ve searching around the net for paper dolls.

Those ones little girls cut and can change clothes. I was specially looking for Disney Princesses paper dolls.

I’ve found some – including a a nice book to buy, but the real treasure I’ve found is the Disney printables from Disney Family. Lots of easy-to-build-yet-awesome models.

Downloaded all of them! Enjoy.

I was invited once again to teach some 6-7 y.o. children about geometric solids.

We’ve been talking about sphere, cylinder, cone, cube and parallelepiped. I taught them the basics and how to draw/represent them.

Unfolding a cone

Besides, we were focusing on a project where they’ll build a paper dinosaur. I told them about designing and unfolding and how to represent a complex surface using simple solids. E.g.: a dinosaur tail can be split into a cone and some truncated cones. The simply loved the idea!

I’ll tell you more on this story soon. Stay tuned :)
