I saw that Dragos mentioned he was going to put his SS-24 in the Downloads section, so I'll post a picture of it here. He did a really nice job creating a potent Cold War weapon. Thanks Dragos!

You won't be thanking me when you start folding those small mushrooms! sign1

Art, you have a great memory! That's true, we have copperheads and poison ivy, not to mention ticks and other creepy stuff. I came face to face with some poison ivy today. It would have been in the picture if I hadn't placed a small log over it to hold it down on the ground. :cry:

Rickstef identified this as being from the game Maple Story, which I'd never heard of. I did some searching and located a current download of the files, in case anyone's interested. http://papercraft.wikidot.com/papercraft:maple-story-house

I've had this thing a long time and, unfortunately, the web site is no longer working. I love building cute and odd little things in between "serious" projects. Well, it's done now and I can get back to helping Leo with a big new project. I took it into the woods and crawled on my belly like a...

Very nice. I have the kit and plan to build it too ... someday. :)

I come up with about 20.6%. You may be able to do that using your printer's settings, like I did printing it at about 72%. BUT I can assure you that some parts will become invisible at that scale. Well, I guess you could just leave off the smallest parts, because they'd be impossible to create...

I believe the gray is the same in all pieces. I used an Epson Stylus Photo R1400 in the photo mode and Wassau Bright White card stock, 65 lb. Not sure why your friend's didn't come out looking uniform. Maybe running low on ink? That will affect the consistency of color from page to page, I...

That's going to be massive! Make sure you post pictures. At that scale the little fiddly parts won't be quite so fiddly! :)

Bengt, the ones I have are very cheap with no brand name. I have one pair that the spring has gotten weak. The other three pairs are still strong. They are perfect for holding glue tabs in place. I use them for every model I build.

Thanks for the good words, guys. Bengt, they are called locking tweezers. I got them at a hobby store nearby, but you can find them online, too. Google "locking tweezers". They are very useful and not very expensive.

This is my first sub - my first boat of any kind. I thought I'd try a sub since the hull is very similar to what I do most of, rockets. The model is issued in 1:144, but I reduced it to 1:200 to match the other ships I haven't built yet. sign1 1:200 seems to be a popular scale for ships. You can...

Hurry, it's on eBay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/USS-Ohio-1-200-papermodel_W0QQitemZ300303049410QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item300303049410&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

Thanks again Nobi! Great looking model. :)

Great job!

I love these little gems that people design. This one is the headpiece of the Staff of Ra from Raiders of the Lost Ark. At the site you can download the model and also watch a clip from the movie showing how Indiana Jones used the object to locate the Ark of the Covenant...

... til you print it out. One of my favorite sites is Mayang's Free Texture Library. After a long downtime the site is now back online and serving up just about every kind of texture. Great for making houses, walls, floors, etc. Have a look. http://www.mayang.com/textures/

Very nice. It looks like you build the lifeboats up in layers, is that right?

That was a great idea. Best of luck. I think they are cooler looking than Ares, too! :)

Well, I should have said that I set Adobe reader to fit to printable area. I set the printer properties to A4. It seems to have printed OK. Are you using Adobe or some other PDF software, like Foxit?
