I just spotted an article (in German, sorry) about a really old diy globe:
<http://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/kartenschatz-in-unibibliothek-muenchen-entdeckt-wie-wikipedia-den-fund-zum-sensationsfund-machte-1.1400326>
One of Martin Waldseemüllers
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Waldseem%C3%BCller>) original maps
has been found in the Bavarian State Library here in Munich. This is a
work from the 16th century (this one was created after 1507).
On the article's second page is another photo... the assembled work
(based on a copy of that original map :-) )

Here is another globe by Waldseemüller:

btw. his family name literally means "miller from the lake of the woods"

wow, that long ago! Now I would use the gores technique from the wiki.

solid sphere as a base? I am thinking about using one.
I made them hollow, and stuck together with lots of small bits of
sticky tape behind.
The last seam is quite tricky, but you can usually get it to work.
I do a lot of this kind of 'papercraft' stuff these days, though now
they tend to be a bit bigger.
And for those who want to try, bigger ones are (until a certain limit,
of course) easier to mount. That one I made was really too small. Any
little mistake would be bad and it was difficult to deal with the paper
with my "big" fingers.
