I took some F-22 blueprints and modelled the cockpit section, simplified it a little, created ribs for strength, and divided it into pieces that could be easily cut,' Homola wrote. What if I made a full-scale papercraft-like cockpit out of cardboard? As a child I made many papercraft models, and as a game developer (character animator and 3D modeller), I had the skills. 'Having a cockpit at home was always a dream of mine, but I never had the money to buy one or the time to make my own.
The project, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, will allow you to print out high-resolution images on any material of your choice, or receive a flat-pack version of the cockpit that you can assemble yourself - all you need is a sharp knife.
