Making it/
Faking it

New model army: Folding a paper airplane that can actually fly, instead of a spiralling plummet when thrown, is no mean feat. But building an ultra-realistic four-foot replica of an Imperial Star Destroyer out of bits of cardboard and plastic (with fiber-optic lighting) is an accomplishment worthy of the geekiest branch of the dark side of the Force. Step-by-step photo progress reports start with a hand-built wooden frame and end with something you’d like to ride on, à la Dr. Strangelove, at stardestroyerproject.com.

What’s up, doc? Docstoc is a vast archive of useful documents that are yours for the taking. Categories include Legal, Business, Financial, Technology and Educational, and it’s the place to find threatening, legal-sounding letters, ostensibly thorough class notes, classy-looking résumé templates, budget planners and invoices, and every other type of document an ambitious and/or scheming young person needs to get ahead in life. Plus it’s all free at www.docstoc.com.
