    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    sjsquirrel, that little hatch is indeed the forward airlock. It was not shown in game that I can remember. If I remember right from ME1, the outer hatch opens by recessing inward and then sliding to stern. The inner circular door does pretty much the same after the bolts in the cross slide...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    SJSquirrel, I'm glad to see you taking a shot at the SR2 model. I built your first one and it was excellent. F131's rendition looks great. I think the front engine tips do move to steer the ship with mass effect fields. The rear engine bits move as well. Below is a screen I hope helps. I'm...

    My cursed sword...

    Ain't no mountain high enough... I can certainly sympathize, especially with the aliens rifle...that thing is a bear to build. My cats are my paper nemesis. They love to chew on my paper mech gun barrels. I even had one of them jump six feet straight up to get a spaceship I had hanging...

    last star fighter gunstar

    Thanks for all of the encouragement and suggestions. I have actually done Sanger's Thunderfighter. It is currently patrolling the airspace over my desk, flying wingman to the gunstar. It is one of my favorites, even if the nose-cones and their little cannons did nearly drive me insane. In...

    last star fighter gunstar

    ThunderChild, thanks for the compliments as well. I think I will need all the luck I can get; those Warhawk talons are a bit intimidating for a noob like me. I have saved a place for it next to the gunstar in the mobile I'm using to display the spacecraft I've built so far (keeps the cat from...

    BattleField 2142 - L-5 Riesig

    Excellent work! I'm guessing with that many parts, you've managed to do the individual gun barrels. It looks awesome! I look forward to seeing the finished product. I hope you'll be releasing it. At 25cm it would fit right in with my small army of mechwarrior mechs. From what I remember of...

    last star fighter gunstar

    Thank you, Thunderchild. The nose art (or fairy as you call it) is a tiny decal I made from a painting called "Kabeiro" by a chap named Genzo. I almost always add a little personal touch to my models. Most often, I do the art myself, but this time, I borrowed from someone who's talents far...

    last star fighter gunstar

    Indeed, thanks to all who had any hand in bringing the Gunstar to paper. I've wanted one of these ships since I was 12 and now it is a reality. ~D

    Computer Trobules

    I had a similar problem when I first got Win7. Though I do not claim to be a computer whiz, here is what I did to solve it: 0) With any luck, the archive is not corrupt or infected. Try it on a different, non-win7 PC if you have access to one. 1) Turn off UAC. Reboot. You may still have to...

    SSV Normandy

    Here's my finished build. Please excuse my lack of skill (i'm new to paper models). Still, this thing is coolness incarnate for someone who is a big fan of the game. Thank you again sjsquirrel.

    BattleField 2142 - L-5 Riesig

    Perhaps you could do a couple of simple cylinders with a texture of the multiple barrels on it? I for one would like the high-detail, not-for-the-fumble-fingered version. May be a bit easier to build if each barrel were about the size of a coffe stirring straw and the builder rolled them...

    SSV Normandy

    Thank you very much! I have been looking for a papercraft Normandy for months. I lack the software skills to design my own, but your looks great. It may take me a couple of weeks, but I will try to post a pic once I finish building it. Thanks again. Daikhovalin
