There seems to be a lack of material on google searches and the limited figurines out there are as expensive as heck. It would be much cheaper and more fun to build one.

I'm toying with the idea of this being my next project after the Viper. Early days yet, but I keep coming back to it and am finding it more and more appealing. I'll make a small one first and see what happens.

So.... Let the links, sketches, photographs and blueprints roll in! Perhaps there's a papercraft version out there?

EDIT: I FOUND A PEP FILE!!! http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/gallery/gallerydetails.php?id=1955

That's a few different angles and lighting. Some blueprints would be nice.
 
Re: ED 209 (2014) reference thread.

Are you wanting to build one 1:1 like the ones thorssoli and n1cod3mus did for the 1987 version? A lot of parts and a lot of work, but what a kick ass project it would be.

I'll start with the default scale of the pep file. I'll make one out of paper first, harden it etc.

That will give me a physical model to study and see what's what.

Never underestimate the understanding of a model one can reach by making the same thing more than once.

After that, I could make one the same size out of wood, steel, aluminium, whatever. Perhaps one day I can then move up to life-size. Gotta finish the life-size Viper first.

They are all the old 209 George, from the '80s. Different in almost every way. I'm after the 2014 model.

Great idea. I have not even seen a 1/18 scale of this design yet. The last of the older original ED-209s i saw and they wanted several hundred for it. It was NECA I think.

Truth! You can look at drawings all day. You never fully get it until you hold a 3D object.
