Evening all!

I've done a couple of papercraft models in the past, mostly from the canon site for Xmas or for my daughter.

Decided I needed a new hobby and started looking at papercraft further then thought about combining it with one of my passions, sci fi.

I'd really love to build the false maria from my fav film, Metropolis and have my long term sights set on a BSG fleet...

Dunno how I'm going to contribute enough to the forums to be allowed access to the downloads section though as I'm a virtual newb....

Evening!!

I know: get involved, participate! Make a search on the build threads of the models you like (recent ones, remember: no necroposting), and make your comments. Make compliments, ask questions, present your doubts.
you can also post pics of your models, making threads of your own. If you have the pics of your builds, post them, we all like that "seeing is believing" saying. :mrgreen: And can even post videos of your builds, if you want.
If you have discovered some trick, tip or tool, you can always share your knowledge. Zealot actually has a section for that. Or you can ask for details in the builds that are already there.
If it's an old thread, you can always send a P.M. (private message) to whoever started it. Won't count as a post, but sure won't count as necroposting (remember: no necroposting), either!
Make friends, visit their posts, post "welcome posts" (meaningful ones) in the new members' introduction threads, well, make them feel at home and part of this special family. You'll see that soon you'll have hundreds of posts, but the most important thing will be you becoming an active part of this forum/family.
Then, you'll see one thing I've learned and insist in telling everyone here: ZEALOT is special because WE (INCLUDING YOU) make it so.

WELCOME!

Who? Where? What? Did I hear "BSG fleet"? WEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL, I suppose you have found the right place to be! :mrgreen:

Welcome at Z! We have MANY fleet ship and props available and some more are in the making (e. g. an accurate Viper Mk. I; I'm also considering to make a 1/2 studio-scale TOS Battlestar soon). Just look around, use the search function and have fun and enjoy! :thumb:
