A card model of The Enterprise seems like a natural! I used to love building those card models - I made a few cars and planes, and always liked the boxy look of them. Nowadays, pro card modelers finesse the pieces to make them look indistinguishable from a nice plastic or wooden model - don't ask me how! SFZ
Nice - the survival rate of these punch-out or cut-out books must be very low. I had one or two - I remember one of trains, that came with three or four locomotive models. I can not remember if that was punch-out or cut-out.
One of my strongest childhood memories was finding the Project Sword punch-out book on special at Boots the Chemist. Getting compound curves out of flat pieces of card blew my young mind!
And decades later, I was searching on line, to see if there was any mention of it and came across a little blog called Moonbase Central!
