OK, so here's how I went about creating the card (as some of you have asked for more information):
I knew I wanted to make a popup with an F-16 in it, but the mechanism changed, as did the overall direction of the card. I fond an old pre-digital 3-view and 6-view drawing of the F-16. using this as a basis, I started to think about how to make it as close to 3D as possible and still get it to lay flat. I noticed the upper fuselage had a "pinched" look to it; which would make it easier to fold. I then worked out how to hake the intake relatively round, but still fold flat. I have three books in my library : Paper Engineering by Mark Hiner; Cards that pop up, flip & slide by Michael Jacobs; andPaper Engineering & Pop-ups for Dummies by Rob Ives. Plus whatever I could find on the net. All art was drawn and colored in Illustrator. Sorry this is so short, but I wanted to post something before I ran out the door. Let me know what more you would like to know. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
