As the magazine was only in Black & White you had to paint the finished item.
Today I found a web page with a copy of the original article, so I thought I would give it a go. As an experiment I printed the plans onto plain card and did a test build, as you can see it finished up a bit rough but did look vaguely like a LCP.
As the test build worked out OK it was time for the second test, this involved trying to add some colour using photoshop, as it's just a test build all I have done is add some basic colours.
For the second test build I have doubled the thickness of the card which I think looks better. I have also given the first test a blow over with grey just to see if painting is an option.
Now the proof of concept builds have been completed I will try and add more detail using photoshop and try a proper build.
