3D "Paper" telescope

For fun, I decided to try to simulate making a paper model using a 3D modeling program. I haven't tried to make it perfect, so it looks like it was cut out of paper rather poorly.

I'll probably spend a little more time on it to make the periscope tubes look more realistic -- that is, getting the the paper diagram to be drawn on them properly.




Added later:

The model is available as an Addon to Celestia at
