This is a simple scale model of a rescue capsule which used to lift up trapped chilean miners who've been underground for 68 days. This capsule was brought down to 2000 feet below the surface or 610 meters. This capsule is a collaboration design of NASA engineer and Chilean Navy which customized to this rescue mission, to extract 33 miners from beneath the ground to open air. I use 1:20 scale for this model, very simple but quite tiny in parts.
I saw radioactive drum photo on the net yesterday and I thought this would be good paper model, so here it is one sheet of pattern. Nuclear waste is the radioactive waste left over from nuclear reactors, nuclear research projects, and nuclear bomb production. Nuclear waste is divided into low, medium, and high-level waste by the amount of radioactivity the waste produces. Although nuclear waste can be very dangerous, and should not be handled by anyone without professional training, it is not necessarily more dangerous than chemical poisons such as ricin and botulin.

The idea is I want to see small people's tent who camp on my desk. I plan to take pics of this set outside, but I'm too sleepy now, though I have to charge the camera. Maybe tomorrow I'll build and photograph it. Dome tents have a very simple structure and are available in a wide variety of sizes ranging from lightweight 2-person tents with limited headroom up to 6 or 9-person tents with headroom exceeding 180 cm (6 ft). These may be single wall, or single-wall with partial flysheet, or double wall. Depending on the pole arrangement, some models pitch outer-tent first, while others pitch inner-tent first. The former helps keep the inner tent dry, but the latter is easier to pitch.
Earthquake hit Haiti on January, 12 with a massive 7.0 Magnitude shock. The earthquake caused major damage to Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and other settlements in the region. Many notable landmark buildings were significantly damaged or destroyed. Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel.
Another beautiful paper model from Egon Mint. Still play around with cretaceous creature, they present a Caudipteryx. Caudipteryx means tail feather which is a birdlike reptile, an early stage of modern birds evolution. Its fossil recovered from China in 1997. The paper model file comes with .pdo (need a pepakura viewer) in zipped format.
