Prius Paper Model

Prius_color is the actual paper cutout, prius_manual is the instructions and is in Japanese.

 

This is too cool! I'm gonna try to photoshop the colors to something else and try to assemble when I get a chance.

I wonder if this can be printed out on regular paper, or if it would look better if printed out on slightly heavier photo paper.

If anyone does this, post some pictures.

It describes another papermodel of the Prius that might be a faster/easier build.

I was wondering if I could get the prius_color.pdf file. The link seems to be broken.

P.S. I forgot to add that if I could get the prius_manual.pdf file and someone or something to help read the Japanese. I sort of want to make this Prius model. Thanks

 

I am not sure if this is the original file or not. It is all I could find on my hard drive....

Now do you happen to know some nice person (or program/machine) that can translate this?

 

There are several free translators on the net that will translate Japanese to English.

Google "free translators".

I think this is a case where you need to follow the pictures. A picture is worth 1000 words, infinitely more if you can't read the words in the first place.

I started the assembly last year too, but after doing the front grill to the hood part, lost interest. In the interim the SO chucked the thing in the trash cause it was "clutter."

 

Well, this model had been languishing in my To Do folder for too long, so it was time to do something with it. I of course made it my color, and the license plates are tiny photographs of my own.

This is not a model for beginners. First, the instructions are Japanese, making interpreatation of the somewhat inadequate assembly illustrations a bit ambiguous, especially for the nose pieces. Also the general fit, while excellent, does require some experience to achieve properly, as there are NO alignment markings. But with patience and practice the kit does become a decent model.

 

That's excellent work airportkid...IMHO.
