From Blog supporter Paul Vreede, comes his super origami model of the infamous 'LP Brand' Rocket!
Often seen in the little window boxed space toy sets, the rocket is a very distinct design which has endured for decades. Paul has kindly adapted an earlier design that depicted the Star Wars X-Wing, to resemble our favourite rocket!
If you click the above link, it will download a printable template and some instructions for the rocket!
This is my own pathetic effort! I used a sheet of A3 paper and printed the square template on it at around 20 cm square, which folds down to about an 8cm tall rocket. I am by no means good with Origami, so it is a bit rubbish! I would recommend watching the YT video for the X-Wing folding on which it is based, which is very easy to follow.
Wow, that's pretty cool Paul!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thumbs-up Paul. That is one cool folding card rocket! What a great idea and thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteA very impressive piece of space art, Paul. So cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I hope everybody else will have a go as well, and send in a pic if they do. Paper has endless possibilities for making dioramas and doesn't cost the earth. :)
