Shuttle Tyderium

By Charles Brown




This is made of cardstock, from a kit found in the message boards on this site. When the kit was first put into the boards, some sick-o said "Oh, that'll be a pretty easy build, it hardly has any curves!" Well, look again, this think has a stack of curves, and it is really complicated. All the parts move. I mean all the parts. The wings go up and down. So does the ramp. The wing-guns swivel. So does the tail-gun. I did not take the time to actually make them do it, but the landing gears can be made to go up and down, and the gear doors open and close. I am amazed by whoever designed this thing... it kit is in Polish, so I'm really not sure who to credit with it. All told, it took me about 2 months working on-and-off, and nearly a whole bottle of Elmer's.
