Here is a constant-scale natural boundary map of Ida that folds to a decent replica of the asteroid. Map edges are Ida's major ridges.[attachment=16299:Ida_MaxRidge_post.jpg]
[EDIT] Here it is again with the photomosaic properly credited; apologies to M. Nyrtsov for my oversight. |

It was difficult for me even to build a paper Earth globe, without something to glue the paper on... I can't imagine how I could build such an irregular shape.....
But I guess a 3d model should exist somewhere, if a card model has been prepared: where could I find it? Maybe I could build a model by means of multiple overlapped "slices" of cardstock or wood... |
