I decided to make a few drop pods using a template I found on a website, I forget which website since it has been a few months since I downloaded it.
I started off by cutting out these paper templates and using them to draw the shapes onto a card box I found lying around the house.

After cutting them out I had all the parts I needed for my drop pod.

I started assembling my card drop pod by cutting slits into the base to slot in the struts. I then used sellotape to keep them in place.

After finishing the basic structure I began adding the doors, they occasionally needed trimming to fit.

I'm not the most patient person in the world and I ended up putting a few of the doors on shoddily, but I'm too bored to care.

Not the flashiest drop pod the 41st millenium has seen, but it gets the job done well enough for something made with card, scissors, tape and 1-2 hours of time.
