I think that works, actually. This is not a weapon designed by military men, it's designed by a corporate committee.

All the changes most commonly complained about were written by Adams himself, so I don't think he's turning, but he may be wearing a trollface. Really, I can accept the movie as its own thing, because no two versions of the story ever agree with each other. The books are different from the tv...

He purchased these from Schreiber-Bogen. http://www.schreiber-bogen.com/

I do have the interior set templates. I might do that at some point, but next I'm going to do uhu02's Heart of Gold. And the build for that isn't going to go nearly as fast as this on because another semester of classes just started up for me.

Thanks.

And there you have it. The finished product, plus the tools I used to make it with. (Sans the x-acto which is still on the table.) The tip of the file on the pocket knife was used to score creases.

And here's the roof resting on top. Not going to glue it down, I think. I'm also not going to take step by step pics of the beacon building, because that'd be tedious, so next pic should be finished product.

Signs on the body and roof parts cut out.

I tried to find a template for one that was bigger on the inside, but alas, I'm forced to simply make the interior and exterior as separate models.

A specific 3D object?

Since the first post disappeared, what is the goal of this puzzle?

Ha, that's great. Now you just need to make a few scientists and a backdrop, make it a diorama.

This'll be the last pic tonight, the body is on the base now and one of the pillars is attached. I'll put the other pillars on and close up the base tonight. I would recommend trimming the outside edges of the parts numbered 3 back just slightly, to avoid those edges showing between the base...

Here we have parts 3 glued to the top and bottom of the body, and parts 4, the columns, in various states between unfolded and glued.

Part 3 (2x), and the glued/folded part 2. I'm cutting wherever possible with scissors, because I find it gives me greater control than an x-acto. Only on certain awkward cuts do I find it better to use an x-acto. As for glue, I find a tiny amount of cyanoacrylate gel goes a long way.
