ANWAR: Sorry if posted this Non RC Thread. many  more interesting models will come if you permit

Interesting and welcome .
This is great stuff , do you get these in cut outs or do you do the whole thing yourself .

All are scratch built, i have to cut them, mark the part numbers, fold them accordingly and finally PASTING and putting them altogether.
If one wants to learn this, he/she has to seriously devote some time in this hobby. TIME IS IMPORTANT.
Next you will see a bike which has 776 parts. i am working on that bike for the last 6 months and still in complete  
and here are the pictures :

Wonderful work of art! Cheers to your skills...

They are really fantastic .
Do you get them as parts which you assemble ?
OR do you make them individually and then assemble them.
It is amazing

Nooooooo. they come in A4 size printed sheets (special paper of 180 gsm). i have to cut them.........the new bike which is MT01 has 24 small parts of 3mm size, which is very difficult to fold and hold.

Did a bit of googling and found this :

You mean you down load these plans , print them of 180gsm paper , cut them and then assemble them.

WOW this is amazing scratch building 

Sandeep you must be a very patient guy

The paper used here is 160 gsm pure white paper.

Can we use normal printer paper of 100gsm.

Hi Nitesh,
no, normal 100 gsm paper cannot be use as that will be too thin to handle the thin viscosity of favicol. the water content in the glue will dissolve the paper fiber creating a lumpsy looks. also only laser print is suggested.

Suggest some other sort of paper which can be used.

PM me ur add.  will send you some sheets.

Thanks a lot for your kind gesture. sir but you just tell me the paper type.
Also can we use the paper which they use in printing cards.

The pictures are not sowing

it is 160 GSM paper, thinner the card stock paper. i will upload the pictures by eve.
