Build your own Canon!

Now if you thought you'd cracked it with paper aeroplanes, progressed
to Airfix kits and then designed and built your own in balsa wood...think on!

Yep, if you've got some time on your hands, some double-sided sticky tape, washing-up liquid bottle, card and sharp scissors (adult supervision required!), try this out.

In just a few simple steps (or less for the origami masters amongst you) you could be well on your way to building a scale model of a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

And who knows, maybe win a Blue Peter badge!

Patience and perseverance is all it takes.

Joking aside, this was a really neat move from Canon to celebrate its 50th anniversary in manufacturing SLR cameras, enabling you to build three super detailed paper craft cameras .

If you've got nothing else to do at the weekend....good luck!
