With an invitation to the Kite Festival in Berlin last year and being limited to 23 kg per bag, I decided that taking my large holdall bag which is designed to take 30 kg plus would be a wasteful since
After four iterations of the 3D model, a similar number of iterations on the 3D to 2D unfold and a tidy up os any tiny tucks and the joining of pieces with only minor variences to adjacent edges I now
Les 31èmes Rencontres Internationales de Cerfs-Volants de Berck-sur-Mer from Pierre-Vincent HAY on Vimeo.
We are back home after nine days of flying and great hospitality from the organisers of the 31e Rencontres Internationales Cerf Volant Berck-sur-Mer. Apart from a few mornings with little or no wind and an afternoon of fog and rain
With the 31èmes Rencontres Internationales de Cerfs-Volants in Berck-sur-Mer less than a week away, the weather was finally came good, and we were able to get out and test fly this winter’s efforts. First in the air was the X-2

At the moment I’m waiting on the arrival of a length of fabric which has been sublimation printed ripstop with assorted sizes of Beluga eyes so that I can proceed with writing the workshop guide, so in the meantime, I
I haven’t been idle since my last post, with the first head finished I went on to adapt it as a general male head, and then produced a second character head this time for Mr Incredible but designed to use
Whilst Pepakura Designer is great for unfolding 3D models then joining/disjoining faces it has its limitations when it comes to producing the final pattern so I generally transfer the file from Peparkura to MS Visio to finish things off. This
