In honor of Earth Day, this week’s model is the Relief Earth Globe from paperpino.net.  Relief Earth Globes show the Earth’s surface and undersea topography.  This one uses 2006 images from the National Geophysical Data Center – NOAA Satellite and Information Service.  The 19-page model and instructions are pretty detailed.  The box in the picture can also be built, and has an internal starfield that you would place the globe into.

Thanks to Giuseppe (Pino) Civitarese for making this model (and several others) available on paperpino.net.  And in honor of Earth Day, build this one out of some good stock recycled paper.
