Squint Balloons

The balloon is a little lop sided, because I've made it half 3D, which must be a whole new classification. Yes, this film is going to be filmed in 1.5D. (Viewers will be required to wear monocles).

Anyway, the old map paper works well, I think. Back to the drawing board to work out how to make half a balloon ...

Glider

The glider's done. It's cute. The rigging was murder, though!

Probably because I accidentally made the small scale model, which is done to the scale of planes for the World's Smallest Aircraft Musem. The model and museum are at Fiddler's Green, a fantastic source of card models.

And their flying machines

If you haven't yet read Janine Ashbless' fabulous erotic steampunk story, I strongly urge you to go and get a copy immediately!

Today I'm making paper aeroplanes, and as I was suddenly reminded of the story.
