    Star Wars AT-AT

    Looks good. This was one of the first card models I ever finished. Not to say that I'm particularly good at building them, hardly. Nor do I want to suggest this isn't a great model, rather its a tribute to the good design and instructions that go along with it. This model goes together nicely...

    Don't Panic!

    I feel like a sofa. I know exactly how you feel.

    UHU02's Valley Forge

    Well, these have been around years. I haven't heard any complaints, though I haven't built these specifically, but his other papercraft have been excellent. http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~sf-papercraft/Gallery/Silent/Silent.html

    Crimson Skies

    I hate to disagree, but yours would appear to be the first. I've been looking for awhile, but I'm an "old guy" so my search & find skills aren't as sharp as the youngsters. I would gladly welcome a Bloodhawk/P.75 in any form. Years ago, I found a P.75 'mod' for FlightSim, but my CAD knowledge...

    AKIRA class now available!

    ooh, thanks Zoshou. I've been thinking about building one in 1/1000 to complement my Federation fleet, and now I have can do it. Cool.

    Outland Shuttle Build

    We have craft stores here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. Michaels and A.C. Moore. Apparently one hobby here in N.E. is making your own candy. You'll find these sticks in the candy making section. These craft stores are a bounty of useful objects. Stuffed animal eyes...

    180286

    Alas, I wish I could say the same. I thought the movie was very original until the Captain, arghh, the Captain! commits the number one script writing sin in horror movies. He crawls into a tight enclosed space which is a known hide out of the movie's premise, without escort, armed or not! The...

    180286

    This was a semi-widely known element of the movie. It was in the Graphic Novelization and in a widely dispersed synopsis provided by the studio back in '79. The Nostromo's published mission was to haul the fully loaded refinery back to earth, and during its trip there, the fully automated...

    Eagle Transporter Space 1999

    For the regulars, I'm sure this is old news, but Jaybat's offers a Hawk. It doesn't attempt to model the girderwork on its back, maybe that's an exercise for one of us over-achievers, but it exists.

    Halo (1) Pelican

    Even More Dangerous... After building the model 'out of the box' I plan to upgrade it to at least Halo 2 specs, and potentially Halo 3 detailing. I'll probably change to a plastic media for the superdetail builds as well. Now if I can just find a Warthog...

    Halo (1) Pelican

    Can't take credit for finding this one, I first saw the link over on starship modeler's paper & card modeling forum. planet StarFreak There's a Halo Pelican here. And I'm pretty sure its from Halo 1, so it would need some work to look like it does in Halo 2 or 3. But it is a Pelican...

    Think Jays Galactica is lonely, need some help

    I know one reason why you got a disappointing response on Starshipmodeler. I used to at least surf the forums there on a daily basis, but after awhile, it was all talk about kits that were a. out of my price range, b. too expensive for me because I can scratchbuild them myself cheaper and...

    Think Jays Galactica is lonely, need some help

    FYI, there's a guy scratcbuilding a 1/2500 scale Galactica who posts on starshipmodeler.net. You'll have to do the math to figure out how big the model is, but its plenty big. He's gone all out on it, building the model up with stacked parts of ribs and inter-rib segments and there are tiny...

    Build: Humungous Lambda Shuttle

    Don't think there is any doubt. GL is/was constantly giving his art directors recommendations on providing continuity between films or even trilogies. The continuity between films for the 2nd trilogy was easy. The links between episode 3 and 4 however, IMHO looked absurd. Cool as they might...
