I was given this as a Hanukkah/Christmas gift:




It’s not really paper, more like heavy card,
It was a bit fiddly, and some of the bends/joins were a bit of a stretch, but some judicious use of twist ties, and elastic bands helped a lot.





And due to me forgetting to take more photos, we skip to the end..!



The stand is also card , seems sturdy though



Now on to the falcon….

Very good result. I built a paper Millennium Falcon from a free download a few years back - it looks great.

And here is the Falcon....with assistance from Smokey...



front end coming together



rear end was tricky, elastic bands needed to keep certain parts together for glue to set



both ends now joined...



and now on its stand...



Most of it came together ok, the only joint I was not happy with was the tunnel to the cockpit, its not aligned very well, but is as good as I could get it, I may try and 'paper' the gap and wash some colour over it to see if I can improve it.

That's looks ace!

Do you know where you can get them from? I had a similar book when I was young and would love another!
