Feel free to reach out and I can help you get the kit replaced.

Thats an interesting question :) Its amazing how much paper can differ. I personally use 65lb cardstock for almost everything and 110lb just for stuff that needs more heft. I find it too hard to roll into tubes. However that being said you should experiment a bit and see what you like. If you...

excellent point indeed given the commercial nature of the venture.

if one doesnt exist you will have a better chance of getting one designed if you can provide some good 3 view drawings or at the very least a good high res pic straight on from each side :)

Looks great!!! Thats A LOT of tabs! THanks for sharing :) Chris

very fine idea indeed! Keep us updated on what you come up with :)

nice! Looking forward to this one!

Great looking builds! Fantastic work on them :) thanks for sharing the pics. I know of several folks that built functional cars. One thing you can do is build your shells out of paper to easily customize them how you want then put those on to operable flatbeds or engines so you will get...

excellent suggestion! In addition you can use several different techniques to color the edge of the paper to make it match exactly the color of the ink at the join. If you get really lucky and the designer paid close attention to where they put the seams it COULD fall at a natural panel line...

whoo! I dont think I ever saw that diorama at the bottom before! THanks for sharing :)

Hope to see some pics! Of both :) the sr-71 has a couple tough curves but otherwise goes together well from my understanding! Chris

hey! sorry for the delays.... hope to get back on teh project shortly... gotta learn to unfold! :)

quick question - when I try to draw the chine it always goes to the top of the boat, not the bottom. Is there a trick to getting them on the bottom or am I really moving them all the way from the top to down underneath to make that nice contour? I can do it this way of course but want to make...

got everything swept! looks good there. Working on the chine - got no idea what that is but I think its what makes it a v bottom boat? Not really getting it but will work on it later. Just too many steps to take in at once for my aged mind...

try try again... ok, I tried a few more times and cant get past sweeping the rails. I can get the sides and stern to sweep but not the bottom. It keeps going to some chain command thing. Sorry if this is frustrating for you. Move on if you would like and I will catch up if I can get there.

THanks! That makes sense John :) Now I understand the concept of rails better too - YAY MISTAKES! :) heh heh had a kids concert last night so didnt get anything done but hope too tonight! Glad to have ya peeking in Aaron. Hope to see that panel line tutorial (or complete writeup whatever ya...

OK! Been working on this a while... did it over several times and never get past this.... Go to EDIT/Groups/Group, carefully select the smaller pieces one at a time, If you select the wrong part, Hold Ctrl Down and click the wrong part again to deselect it. Press Enter when done. Each time I...

I disagree - I have made at least 15 cents selling models ;)

I use scalpels - much sharper,much higher quality metal. I can cut up an entire kit of 10 pages easily with one blade so long as I am careful not to press too hard. They are a bit brittle. My fav part of scalpels is that they are sharpened on both sides which reduces the paper mounding to one...

oh wow! THis is gonna take me a while to digest! I will get started after work and let ya know my progress tonight! Really great stuff here John. Thanks a bunch! Chris
