    The Enterprise is Grounded

    I drove by it a few times while I was on the road driving an 18 wheeler. By the time I got my camera out though, it would be long gone.

    Colonial Landram (A-TEAM) paint scheme

    I might do one that's like the old quad .50 halftracks from WWII. 4 big lasers mounted on the back, and used to shoot down Cylon Raiders.

    Paper DC-3?

    I think it's at the WASM (Worlds Smallest Air Museum) scale, which I believe is 1:60. Don't quote me on it though.

    Colonial Landram from Battlestar Galactica

    I can't even remember where I found the 3-view's when I designed that Landram. I do remember watching and rewatching the episode it was in trying to catch every detail I could. Same for the Viper: Watching endless episodes and looking at pics of the 1:1 model trying to get every detail I...

    Rhino 3D Tips, Questions and Answers

    Regarding ^^ What I would do, which is probably less efficient, is to type "Loft", then select the top and bottom curves. Make sure the control points are lined up right, and set to around 50, then press OK. Then "Mirror" to match both sides. Regarding the tutorial... I was pasting...

    Rhino 3D Tips, Questions and Answers

    The problem is my home internet connection sucks those chinese century eggs, so posting a picture intensive tutorial thread is a major pain in the keister. I started a tutorial on the other site, and managed to get two parts up. I've been trying for the past 6 hours to upload just the first...

    Rhino 3D Tips, Questions and Answers

    Actually, if I remember correctly, there's already a thread on here explaining how to design in Rhino using a 3-view. I read it a long time ago, and follow it pretty much step by step every time. But I think I will do a thread on how I design. I've gotten a few questions on how to do it anyway.

    Rhino 3D Tips, Questions and Answers

    I'm not sure I have that many secrets to share. I tend to keep things simple. I am waiting for the part of the tutorial when we can add textures. So far all I can do is project panel lines and markings. Coloring and textures have to happen in Photoshop.

    Model Of The Month: Colonial Viper (my techniques)

    Nice to see one of the old classics again. Nobody knows, but this was my very first model I ever designed, way back in 2003. Oh and one thing I learned, and was pounded into my head...Do NOT use the Monogram model. It is not even close to being accurate to scale. I had to use screenshots...

    Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner

    It's just quirky enough he'd love it.
