    Model Of The Week : The Spice Must Flow...

    Ah carp, *another* line of models in my project queue? Deep breath: It is by will alone I set my knife in motion. It is by the juice of Elmer that paper acquires shape, The shape acquires form, The form becomes a model. It is by will alone I set my knife in motion.

    ALIENS M-41A Plus Rifle 1:1

    I don't think that would be too hard. You can get LED counters at electronic shops online, and I would think a simple chip to display numbers. Plenty of room inside for mounting things. If the trigger moves, you could put a contact on it and actually have the trigger initiate the LED counter...

    Me too. Of course, we will also need to-scale drop-ships, load-lifters, and Queen Alien hanging out the airlock for posterity.

    how do you light your models?

    I recently tackled some of these problems with my Star Destroyer model (www.scarmig.com/StarDestroyer). I ended up going with a single LED and a fiber optic cable. I made little paper sockets where I wanted the ends of the filaments and then glued the filaments in place one at a time. I did...

    Greetings to all!

    I saw a space shuttle model somewhere recently... http://www.axmpaperspacescalemodels.com/ Some of the payloads they charge for, but I think the actual shuttle models are free. If you're interested in real space vehicle paper modeling, there is a yahoo group called Space-Paper-Models. Some...

    Greetings to all!

    I put up a small gallery of a few of the models I have. Missing are an Eeyore and Wonder Woman I did for my daughters, and probably a few others. A Battlestar Pegasus sounds like a fun project.... Thanks for the welcome! Scarmig Papercraft Gallery

    Greetings to all!

    Introducing myself to the forum, I've been paper modeling for a couple of years now, and starting to get more interested in the hobby. My introduction was through the model of Serenity from Firefly I found on the internet. It was my first paper model, and took me something near six months to...
