KoolWheelz Tutorial Build - Lunar Rover Racer



Lunar Rover Racer

Printed model sheet...65lb plain white cardstock.
Its worth it to spend a little bit more, and buy a good brand, good quality, cardstock.
It prints better, it scores, it folds and shapes better.
Lower quality cardstocks are rougher...more "raggy"...they tend to bleed a little more
resulting in blander colours and less sharp detail.

The Rover is not a difficult model, but its got a lot of parts...and most of those parts are very small.
That makes it a more "advanced" model...
and a model better suited to someone who has some experience with bending and shaping small parts.
If you don't have that experience already...then this will be a fun challenge for you.

I recommend some good magnifying glasses for this one!

As always, I recommend a scalpel style Hobby/Craft Knife with fresh blades at hand
and a metal straight edge (rule) for making precise cuts.

A small pair of fine point scissors also comes in handy.
As do Tweezers, Clamping Tweezers, a Scoring Tool and dowels of various sizes.
Use a good quality papercraft glue.

For those of you that cheat, and enlarge you models,
the Rover model sheet doesn't offer a lot of extra room....sorry LOL
You might be able to enlarge by 5% or so...which is still a considerable upscale...but thats it.
