Show off your Papercraft Building Collection - Page 133

Coddington · July 3rd, 2012, 02:49 AM

Hi everyone!
I'm a new member on this forum but I'm watching it since one week.

Let's introduce myself, I'm Arnaud, 24 years old, from Lyon, France. (My english could be bad...).
I went in NYC for one week last November (for the marathon) and I loved this amazing city!
I decided to build some buildings using paper and I discovered your site (The final goal is to create the paper model of the hotel I lived during my week in NYC). I began my little skyline but there's no comparison with yours! Congrats everyone!

I began by the Empire State Building, then I did the Chrysler, the Flatiron and the Citigroup Center. I'll post this later. But I think I have a scale problem. No I don't think so, I'm sure of that.

I'm here to find a way to solve my scale problem but I don't understand everything I read.

Congrats again for you amazing work!

Val5413 · July 3rd, 2012, 09:02 PM

yes, most of the models in this forum are on a scale of 1/1889, if you want the models in 1/1700 you should print at 111% or 1/1700 models into 91%

I had an idea. You know how the 3D section has community cities, where people make their own things to contribute to a city built by all the members there? why don't we do that with our own building designs?

xing lin · July 16th, 2012, 07:19 AM

Great idea

Wigz · July 16th, 2012, 08:01 AM

I would love to work for the city planning committee if this gets going, make a map of the city, height limits, zoning, ect. Of course it will have to be relatively small or be at a smaller scale so we would all be able to make it without sacrificing too much space.

SWFC fan · July 16th, 2012, 10:41 PM

I would be very interested in something like this... anybody else?

Coddington · July 16th, 2012, 10:48 PM

Val5413 · July 17th, 2012, 04:54 AM
