Lightbulb The Paper Craft Model RX-8

OK, I admit it. I had way too much time on my hands this past weekend, it was raining so I stayed indoors.

Inspired by the paper craft model cars found on this site: http://art66.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ I decided to try my hand at creating a paper model RX-8.

Here are the finished pics. Plus an added bonus, my template for anyone else who wants to give it a try. (Very low tech, but I suppose you could call this "Multimedia")

Ditto, I was trying to turn it black and it's really hard to do with just Paint.

For sure - if anyone converts it to black, reposting it would be sweet.

If you convert the file to a bitmap type, it should be easier to fill in the color using just MS Paint.

Maybe if I have time later in the week, I'll create templates in all the RX-8 colors. But you photoshop experts out there should be able to change the color pretty easily.

Here's a real quick and dirty BLUE one and a RED. Sorry, BLACK isn't so easy. My photoshop-like software sucks.
