Some of the tools I use the most for paper model build. The assortment of sewing needles are used to score the paper to get crisp folds, you lay the needle over perhaps 30 degrees up from horizontal so the point does not scratch the ink.
  The fillet knife sharpener greatly extends the life of hobby blades.
  The little trowel looking tool is artist pallet knife, I use it to reach inside small sub assemblys to press down glue flaps well.

The big 19 inch paper enlargement, I think 11x17 would be fine but by all means build in a size you like. I believe getting the flywheel to turn out nice will be the only difficulty, and the larger size may help with that part of build.
