C3 Day 84 - Jan 26 2005

The back section sure took a lot longer then I thought. Not as fast as the paper model that is for sure. All the internal bracing and the securing of the edges takes up time. When the paper model is folded it is no problem. With the styrene when I score and fold the edges most of the time it is fine but every so often the seam splits so I have to take time to glue it back together Almost every fold has a corner brace to hopefully help support it and keep it from splitting later during the inevitable crashes.

It looks simple but I would say that represents 2 hours of work
