I know everyone has seen these. They look really fun and challenging to make. Not to mention the finished product is cool as hell. Does anyone have any experience with making one? I was looking around on Google and I couldn't find that much information or directions on making them.
[image loading]


I was planning on making a Bi-plane (or something cooler if I can find it.) of Guinness Cans. These instructions are for regular 12 oz. cans and Guinness cans are larger - 14.5 oz.

Maybe afterwords I will try to make a Battlecruiser or something Starcraft related out of cans.

[image loading]

All I found was this:

Vague Directions

Some Pics
And This
and some guy selling directions on Ebay (lame.)
short E-how
TIPS

Another Vague Guide

So if anyone has any experience with making a model out of cans or directions on making one please contribute.

PS - If you can post pics of some you have made or some cool ones you found on the net.

Yea, I have most of the tools listed on the vague directions list. But like I said they are pretty vague and for blueprints there isn't much pictures or dimensions for some things.

I've seen hats made from beer cans, I like them because they say a lot about you if you wear them out in public.

Yea, I like the first one (guinness !) and the 3rd one is that a bomber? Triplane is way sicker than a biplane too.
