    AC-130 Spectre

    If You PM me your email address I'll send you what I have. It still needs the guns, some more custom parts and a fit test but the repaint is pretty much done.

    M200 1:1 rifle...under construction.

    I downloaded that kit, but I'm a bit apprehensive to start it, looks pretty... intense. I'm currently building the Dragunov Sniper rifle (SVD) also available on paper-replika.com. Its been interesting for sure. Best of luck!

    AC-130 Spectre

    Hey everyone, sorry I've been out of the loop so long. I'm back in Germany now, so theoretically I'd have time to work on this now, but the truth is I've been very busy. I haven't forgotten though, and I haven't given up. I'll get 'er done at some point.

    AC-130 Spectre

    Hey everyone. The printer is fixed and I'm working on Azrael again. It's pretty big :) I can't use toothpicks for the barrels because they're too big, but I think I might be able to roll paper tubes that small if I'm careful (I'm still pretty new at this model stuff). Sorry the edges look so...

    AC-130 Spectre

    Finally took some pictures of the mock-up I'm working with. This will give you an idea of the size of it, and some of the detail. I used some .032" safety wire for the M61 Vulcan cannon barrels, which I'm not entirely happy with.. its just hard to roll paper that small. I'll figure something...

    AC-130 Spectre

    Adama - I tried to PM you but it wouldnt let me. So I did some scratch building today and finally put together an M61 Vulcan. It looks alright, but not perfect yet. I also did a little for some of the other details, but tragedy has struck. The computer hooked to the color printer at work (the...

    AC-130 Spectre

    Well everyone, I'm back in Iraq now, so I've got some time to work on this thing. This designing stuff is tough, especially without CAD software.. Trial and error my friends. I've made some progress though, but mostly on the repaint, adding lots of small details that you probably wont even be...

    AC-130 Spectre

    Hey, sorry I've been out of the loop for awhile. I had 3 college classes that needed to be finished and now I'm on vacation in Hawaii, but when I get back to Iraq, I'll get right back to this and start posting up some more stuff. Thanks a bunch for the pictures Yogi, I really appreciate it. I'll...

    AC-130 Spectre

    I believe its close to 1:60ish... I say that cause I don't really know... all I did was take the origial model and blow it up to 180%. The wingspan is roughly 23 inches, and the actual aircraft is 132 feet, so roughly 1:60. I saw a picture of that fly model on after a quick google search, that...

    AC-130 Spectre

    I've seen two kits out there thus far for the C-130. There is the one I'm working with which is the HC-130H from Paper-Replika.com, and then there is another from Thai Paperworks, which is more detailed. I haven't seen one in jungle camo... except another version of Julias Perdana's HC-130H...

    AC-130 Spectre

    I think I've finished the engine so far. I think.... I'll try to build it tonight if there isn't much going on at work, and with this weather I dont think there will be. If it turns out well, I'll take a picture and post it. Actually, I'm not done... I just remembered one thing... sh**...

    AC-130 Spectre

    I'll try to actually construct something here in the next few days so that ya'll can see that I'm doing more than just photoshop ;) I've been working 12 hour days and taking 3 college classes while deployed, so I've been a little busy, then I go on R&R in a week, but after that, its on... and...

    AC-130 Spectre

    Thats a good idea Ron, I might try that. I was also thinkin of using toothpicks, or at least wrapping paper around a toothpick. Not sure my course of action yet, but I'll find a way that looks legit. BTW, I spent 20 years living in Kent, WA, so it's nice to see a fellow Washingtonian. Thanks for...

    AC-130 Spectre

    I've started to design the guns for the side of the AC-130, but I need some advise from you seasoned veterns. What is a good way to go about making the barrels? They're pretty small and cleanly rolling paper that tiny is rather challenging, but I dont want this thing to look dumb with the...

    AC-130 Spectre

    Well thank you for the offer Yogi! I've found a load of great pics on the internet thanks to google, but I am having a difficult time finding a good shot of the inside of the wheel wells... if you think you could get one, that would be incredibly helpful. Also a clear shot of the underside of...

    Glad to see some interest in this project :) Once I can figure out how to post pictures that work, it'll be better! hahaha. I may not get to work on it tonight, but in the next few days I'm going to start working on the cannons... and the 600 millionty antenna all over this beast... Good times!

    AC-130 Spectre

    Today has shown some progress and I have high hopes of this thing being pretty freekin cool. The wingspan is going to be roughly 28 inches so, its a big boy! I've test built an engine and need to do a bit of modification to it and I put the front half of the cabin together to aid in the...

ITs not really new... its more of a rebuild of the HC-130 model thats floating around out there with many many upgrades and added details. The repainting is about 80% complete, then I get to get into the...
