THE EAGLES ARE DONE!
Well not really done as I haven't decided what I am going to perch them on yet, but the eagles are as completed as much as I am going to do from the canon model
The following pictures show the three together, the large one alone and then the 2 smaller ones together.
The cabinet top they are sitting on is 37" wide. The wings aren't actually crooked. It is just the way I have them sitting.
Here they are:
I kept track of time spent on building these and this is what I came up with rounded to the highest hour:
Printing, sealing and cutting out parts
for all 3 eagles: 7 hours
Actual building of
all 3 eagles:22 hours, this does not include wait time for glue to dry or rebuilding the wing I smashed or trying to fiqure out the directions.
Best things about this model: Gorgeous finished model, wonderful realistic coloring, most parts fit together very nicely and it was FREE.
Worst things about this model:The directions. The pictorial directions had too small of pictures to see the dark on dark parts and were not very explanatory.
As a beginner with a few simple models already been built, I felt this was a good model for me to do as it was a little challenging but not difficult. I would recommend that anyone wanting to build the eagle to at least do a few simple models of any kind first just to get the feel of paper modeling.
Well that's about it,
