So I built a "lightning stick" and sewed a vest to complete the ensemble here is the lightning stick, the body is paper mache around a craftpaper core, the finial and the collet at the top are fimo and some epoxy putty, the "crystal" is a 1/2 liter fizzy water bottle that the shape was modified...

Thanks for the compliments! Here is a short clip of the flame running the blower assembly is all papercraft (except for the motor and LEDs;)) the body is rolled poster board with foamboard rings. The the fan is all 110lb cardstock. The blades were 2 laminations of cardstock taped to the...

My son wanted a "Gilgamesh Wulfenbach shmott guy!' hat from the Girl Genius webcomic for crazy hat day at school, how could I refuse. materials used: baseball cap poster board foam board paper mache polyester batting fabric felt spray paint titebond wood glue more mini glue sticks than you...

And final pictures, I didn't add the exhaust stacks, too tough to roll printed on cardstock, should work on 20lb bond I still need to work on edge coloring and centering parts better :( If anyone builds this, I would love to see pictures

Sadly it looks like many of the uses of this engine in a tractor configuration have a large exhaust manifold that hides a bunch of the engine, and a cowl but the plan is to hang it in the middle of a Supermarine Walrus On the positive side, It is just about the same shape as a Bristol Mercury

Well he final(?) build is finally starting to come together, here is a progress shot

Still have not finished the build, but I have reworked the gearbox and the valve/valve-cover arrangement(4 valves per cylinder now) and added the oil sump.

Thanks, yours looks good too! here is a top and bottom shot, I didn't build the dome on this one

A long while ago I found a dark star cardmodel by Tom Slawik http://maytg_jedi.tripod.com/darkstar.htm (and other locations) the detail was rather crude, so I started a redraw, I have reworked it a bit and I doubt if more than 1 or 2 of those originally drawn lines remains. I was never happy...

Oh yes if you want more reference material than you know what to do with, join the r2builders group http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/r2builders/ these folks are really serious

Here is the dxf files I used to build my dome and print the details, they are far from a finished product. I printed the dome pieces as several parts, taped them together and then cut them out of poster board (taping together pieces of poster-board as needed only a few fit into 22"x28"!). I...

the final build is going slow, I have the crankcase together and most of the parts cut out, hopefully I will find time in the next few days to finish it. If anyone is interested in a different scale let me know, you may be called on for test build duty. On the airframe side, does anybody know...

I made an R2D2 costume for my daugher last Halloween. It was made out of dollar store foamcore and posterboard. The dome was made out of a series of strips, some of them being 2 pieces of posterboard taped together, the whole dome was put together with masking tape and had a foamcore frame...

The download section sounds like the right place for it :). I'll put it there after I actually build it, just in case it needs any more tweaking

Here is the first card model I designed. I made it after attending a "Build a rocket ship out of paper" session at a local science fiction convention (Arisia) a while back The project was a buck rogers ship http://constantvariation.blogspot.com/2012/01/buck-rogers-space-cruiser.html It was...

Here is a PDF of the engine at its current state of development. I'm not sure when I'll get time to build it, when I do I will post pictures. As far as the walrus goes, I'm not having great progress, the top fusalage doesn't seem to line up too well and I think I'm going to end up with a hook...

I started working on a 1/48 Supermarine Walrus (by Ladndad) and decided it needed a more detailed engine, Here are a few pics of the prototype I am working on and the dxf file that I built it from(mostly, it has gone through a number of revisions). I have only fully completed 1 cylinder so far ...
