I’ve wanted a Mikro for a while now and so when I saw one in town today I snapped it up. It’s basically a sheet of very thin metal cut out in such a way that you can fold it out and make a model, but without detaching any of the pieces, so the sheet becomes the floor. There are some really complex ones out there but they only had the little ones. As it’s the coolest and because I love space, I got no. 2 – Mars. It also seemed fitting as it was Mike Massimo’s last day on the ISS today. I decided to take pics of each stage as with the metal being so thin it’s something you can really only do once. here are the various stages:

This is awesome! It reminds me of those amazing paper sculptures by Peter Callesen:

How much did it cost?
yeah I've seen those too, awesome stuff. The Mikro dude was £6.50 from magma on Oldham Street.
