Title: HK 250 in a papercraft body!!
Post by: controlflyer on December 11, 2011, 11:59:15 PM
 Guys!!
Been away for a while,  :salute: :salute: and I made most of it by building a Agusta A109 KM fuselage, the fuselage is a complete paper-model of the rescue A109 white and red stripes, but I made the Brazilian army heli replica..
The model is still not complete as there's lots and lots of detailing to be done.

Cheers!!!

Dorwin, IMHO this is a true example of passion and perseverance. So much to learn from you.

Yes, actually! and in my case, its "passion" that drives me.
Actually I've spent like 100 fils that is equivalent to approximately 16 INR for a electric insulation tape.  Thats, the only investment I've made on this project.

CF,
Simply fentabulous sir, i still can't believe that this thing is made out of paper.
In fact i suggest you should start a toutorial or something to teach this technique, coz this is a skill, many(including me) are eager to learn and since not much info. Is available online, so your efforts would really be helpfull.

And one more question (forgive me if tis a dumb one), since the airframe is made out of paper, so how will it bear the vibrations and stresses of flight?   Or is their some supporting structure undernith?

not long ago, I put up a thread with as many as 40 to 50 sites offering papercraft designs. I assume, that not many were interested then, so I thought of doing something from it to get the "creativity in oneself" out.
Making papercraft models is a very very interesting hobby too, I built a complete A10 full fuselage, scale for one of my local friend, which he later lost the bird at sea as he lost sight of it in air.

Krishnan, there is no mold involved, all you need is a laser printer, in case you don;t change the color scheme, or a normal black ink inkjet printer, a pair of scissors, glue (and/or) kebab skewers, completely depends on the builder!

thank  you! give me some time  and I will start a new thread on how to build things for RC use...
The fuselage does have a 2x5'' ply on the bottom where the frame rests,I did some vibration tests sometime back, nothing major, decided to stick  some bluecore onto the frame to diminish  vibrations, works well.
Will update later..

Well,  ;D ;D ;D what can I say...

take a look, she has a new look now. Thought of this because, the dark colors would make it difficult for me during night flying.
Did some detailing work done including exhaust fumes..

Pictures may not give the best view, but it now looks "fentasomethingbolous"


Cheers!
