Thank you gluers

Another update - more details completed. I designed them to be made from paper, but at the end I used kitchen wooden sticks because it was faster (I will add paper version to resource).

No lacquer applied. Surface is not so glossy in reality (photos makes it much more prominent). It is printed on coated silk paper for laser printing (little glossy).
At the end I will probably apply matte lacquer on some parts. Will see

First carefully prepare all pieces and wings will be there before you know it
You are the first person that I have seen using a laser printer as succeed. Usually, laser printed parts crack and flake.
No problem with cracks or flake.
I use printer setting for the thickest paper, so printer bakes the toner at the highest temperature it allows. Maybe that is why it holds on the paper realy good.
Only time when it cracks was, when I cutted thin strips (details on enines for example). I solved it by making the cut few times veeery lightly. Paper strips then do not curl or twist as you cut and does not crack.
