My newest project is a paper globe complete with an axial mount holding it at the correct angle, just like the real earth! Members can download the model for free at the link below, non members can download it for a small fee. More details here…
As an accompliment to the globe model I've also created a paper moon model to the same scale, it can be downloaded for free here
Updated Ratchet Mechanism to Download and Make!
The mk II ratchet mechanism uses a simpler, more elegant mechanism than the original. Members can download the model for free. If you already have the mk I version you can re-download to receive this updated version. I'm really pleased with this mechanism and am currently planning a fully fledged automata model using the ratchet at its heart.
Check out the Christmas pack for a set of festive based models for you to make. Start now My excuse so you have plenty of time to make the models ready for the big day. Bah humbug.
