Viper step 1

I didn't do a whole lot of work on the instructions yet, on account of I've been too busy with other stuff. ;o)

I'll probably have them ready by the end of the week, but I wanted to show you the first step, which is getting together everything you need to build the model.

Normally, I think it's okay to use any kind of paper, depending on how sturdy you want your paper model to be in the end.

But for this Viper model, because of the tabs & slots method used to attach the engines and wings, I really have to recommend using thicker cardstock (I use 200 gsm myself) and for the internal framework, I used 2 mm thick cardboard (NOT the corrugated kind used for cardboard boxes, it will bend too easily...!)
