    SS-24 Scalpel by Dragos

    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!

    Mushroom Diorama

    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...

    U-don's Factory Los Angeles Class SSN-688

    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...

    A fun little build: Headpiece of the Staff of Ra

    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...

    Not quite paper

    ... 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/

    Need help find instructions

    Does anyone have the instruction page for this model? It's an old one I downloaded long ago and I've lost the instructions or never downloaded them. There are some tricky folds in the legs that I'm not getting. By the way, the name of the file I have is ranaishikawae01.pdf. Thanks!

    Merry Christmas! Paper-Replika Christmas Train

    I can't believe I got this finished in time for Christmas! I dropped everything and built this as quickly as I could - only cut off one fingertip. :thumb: Thanks again Jules. Great model! http://picasaweb.google.com/jepolch/ChristmasTrain

    An "interim Christmas present"

    I'm making a model for my mother, but I won't get it finished for Christmas, so to fill the gap til I finish her real gift, I made this Canon sunflower shadowbox. It came out a lot quicker than I expected, considering all the little edges that had to be cut out! The frame is not part of the...

    Julescrafter M1A2 Abrams tank

    It's been a long while since I posted pictures of a model. This one was not very difficult, but I got distracted (and read a few books) while building it, so it took just about forever to finish. It was my first (and maybe last) tank model. :oops: http://picasaweb.google.com/jepolch/AbramsM1A2#

    Have a Morley?

    I always build something quick and fun between big projects. I just finished a big one - I'll tell you about it tomorrow or the next day. Tonight I put this together. I've been meaning to build it for a while. It's the prop cigarette pack from the X-Files, as well as some movies. I'll bring it...

    Swallowtail Butterfly

    I'm visiting my Mom and we had an impromptu card modeling session today. This would have taken me much longer at home, but with both of us cutting we got it done in a few hours. It's from the Canon paper model site. :-) More pictures here: jepolch/Swallowtail - Photobucket - Video and...

    charlesinspace.com

    Charles Simonyi, the latest space tourist, has some good looks at the Soyuz booster and other interesting pics and videos on his web site. He was launched from the same pad as Yuri Gagarin. Only thing I don't like about the site is that it's all done in Macromedia Flash. :cry...
