Couple of years ago idea popped to my mind - maybe I could create paper model from scratch - create 3D model, simplify it, flatten, color it properly, lay out sheets, all in hope that it can be turned into model. At that time I was doing some drawings in SketchUp - seemed that it would be suitable for this task, and easy enough that I would not have to spend two years learning it.
At the same time I switched my work - instead of working with machines from 70s, I started in highly automated enviroment with up to date technology. My jaw dropped when I first saw fully automatic line, with huge (that's what I thought at the time) robots handling parts without human supervision.
Somehow these two topics clicked and connected - maybe I could make paper model of industrial robot? The biggest problem was that I did not had any source material, and making models from pictures only is possible, but is doomed to be innacurrate. But this was years ago. Now I have what I need, so the only thing stopping me is myself.
Of course, I have no idea how to make such model, and I'm not the best model maker either. So it will be very challenging, yet I think it can be done and for sure I'll have a lot of fun making it.
