Here’s another transit holiday gift idea from Jason Vanderhill: a working train set, dressed up in papercraft to look like our SkyTrains!
A video of the trainset is above, and here’s how Jason describes it:
Here is my Super Express SkyTrain Papercraft toy train set, made just for Christmas! You can buy Super Express trains at Daiso, and the blueprints for making your own SkyTrain cars are available here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmv/sets/72157622988887112
Jason’s blueprints are for a Mark I train and the new grey/blue Mark II 1300-1400 series train. Thanks Jason — what a fun transit craft project for the holidays!
And of course, check out Monday’s post for more transit gift ideas.
Whoa!! Slow down MK1, you’re getting way too close the MKII. LOL :)
dude i am totally trying this since i coloured my paper models tolook like newer mk 2’s
Man that is so awesome. Now I want a train set for Christmas, lol.
y’know this could be a great first product for translink to merchandise
lol at the close-distanced MK1 and MK2.5 trains; hah, life imitates art, eh?
cool bananas, though:)
Wow!!! That is SO cool! That is what i want for christmas now =)
[…] fashioned fun of making your own stuff. Here’s an oldie but a goodie: Jason Vanderhill shared a craft project last year so you can make papercraft skytrains that actually run! Grab the train set from Daiso in Richmond […]
I have a son who is obsessed with all the translink vehicles. Where can I buy any if this stuff.
Thanks in advance!
