Alfadoc recently built Julius's Ed-209 and I liked it so much I knew I had to build it. I had been watching the design postings as they were being added, as soon as it was complete I downloaded it but had to sit on them a while as I was finnishing another big project.
I thought I'd go into a little more detail on this build for those who may want to build it. I originally started with the main body and I guess what you'd consider the head. Be careful building the main body box, there is a difference in the angles for front and back, I didn't catch this untill too late so I had to start over and rebuild the head and main body box. Also take note, the parts are so broad there's no structural integrity,using 110 paper,(I'm building the 1/6 scale) you need to use pressure when gluing the part together, when doing so the boxes bow, bend and dent. Since I was starting from scratch I beefed up the interior of the large parts using the internal framing from the 1/4 merc capsule I recently finished, i strongly recommend doing some kind strengthening of these large parts.
