    Building my own x-wing

    Dnalor, it occurs to me that if you haven't, you might want to check out Firfeks TIE pep over at therpf.com. Huge scale already (the 'large' version is 1m tall), and as I recall, nice real detail. You'd need to paint it as there's no texture, but that's significantly easier than on the X/W.

    Marvin the Paranoid Android

    YAY! Real Marvin, not that abomination from the movie a couple of years ago! And you could always release him as-is and just call him Kriket Wars Marvn :)

    Pepakura Designer question sorta kinda related to Millenumfalsehood's XWAU unfold

    Thanks, guys, I was afraid of that. Thereès no good reason for either - Iève used simple free online applications which successfully calculate and spit out graphic arrangements of pieces to be cut out of plywood for construction projects. Itès exactly the same geometry solving problem with...

    Super Star Destroyer paper model

    Also saw that they`re FINALLY about to release the `Avenger` version of the ISD (the deuce). I`ve been waiting for that for 10 years now. Imagine a nice scale version of Vader`s squadron to go along with erebus`s SSD.....mmmmmmmmm.....stardestroyer.....

    Building my own x-wing

    Jeebus, that`s bigger than studio scale on Red2, isn`t itÉ! Where are you going to put all this stuffÉ :) Any chance you`ll release your layout after you`re doneÉ I`ve been afraid to start the IMCOLD X after looking at all the teeny-tiny pieces with multiple folds, and a giant version seems...

    Jedi ETA-2 by Paper-Replika

    Not to play devil`s advocate or anything, but you know the eta2 is available from TRU for like $25, right :) I`m doing something similar and working on an ISD for a 7 year old birthday on the 8th of May, myself. I`m thinking maybe brush-on resin, as if you were going to do a large pep-armor...

    Pepakura Designer question sorta kinda related to Millenumfalsehood's XWAU unfold

    As this pertains specifically to MFs unfold of the XWAU ISD, thought it might be the best forum for it. I started to try and rescale MFs ISD1 unfold to be in the same scale as his resized ISD2. A couple of reasons for this, primarily I'm a huge ISD fan and there are significant differences...

    Death Star Diorama

    Hey, MF, don't know if you ever saw the original making of Jedi booklet from '83, but there's a GREAT photo of the exterior of the tunnel miniature at ILM - it just goes on and on and on, and was built so that sections could be removed to manoever the mocon camera through.

    Death Star Diorama

    As I pointed out earlier before it so mysteriously disappeared - the original ILM miniature set of the DS2 tunnel was actually made primarily out of paper towel tubes (you can even see the lines on the tubes in the film if you're actually looking for them - it actually is distracting once you...

    Super Star Destroyer paper model

    I can vouche for the quality of the XWAU OPT, it would make a fantastic source for a model or reference profiles. It took 10 years, but it's stunning how well they nailed the SSD, in fact I'm surprised the engine can handle it (but it does...just good luck seeing the whole thing onscreen at...

    Large scale Imperial Warships

    Is the ImpStar1 the same model that is at Swmodels.ru? Have been looking ffor years for a decent ISD, and have been tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to DL stuff from that site. Looking forward to the trap particularly. Pack looks good, but I've already started on one at Gbfans...

    Moldy Crow / Milleniumfalsehood / 1:48

    WOW! Just...WOW. I used to do a lot of Dark Forces editing, and got used to looking at the old 'Crow 3d object over and over - you did some amazing work extrpolating from a very simple object. Thought of working on the successor to the Moldy Crow, I think it was called the Raven's Claw?
