Voyager 1

Posted by OctaneOrange on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 8:56 PM

This is a paper model (with a styrofoam HGA). i had problems with one boom, so it kinda curves all over the place. the Magnometer boom is 39 cm long (twice the rest of the model). i put a styrene rod in it to try and stop it warping. I'd like to set it up as V'ger, but there's not much references around of it, so for now it stays non-fictional voy1.

I am an armor guy and I was surfing the forums and I came across your build. It looks fantastic. I have one question. What is a paper kit? Is it heavy paper or cardboard? How do you assemble the kit? Just a bit interested. Yes Thanks

it's heavy paper/light card, this was pre printed with gold and silver parts and pre-punched as well. (so the lattice is already cut out ready)

That is totally awesome! After I get back from Florida with the family, I will be clicking my way over to that site and get me a hubble and a voyager!

Thanks for the link!
