Progress Report: Day 1

About two and a half hours of today were spent cutting and gluing together bits of 160gm card. Since this is my first attempt at papercraft I decided to start with the relatively easy looking backpack. The main portion, as well as the four vents were completed and set aside to dry. I then moved on to start the spaulders/ pauldrons. Here's a look at what I have so far:

Wire frame highlighting pieces completed to date.

In the next day or so I hope to finish the nozzles of the backpack and the trim of the pauldrons. I'll upload a picture or two of the actual model too.
