    Start Trek Enterprise 1701E?

    I'm looking for a good Star Trek Enterprise model. I have one of the 'older' 1701 (original series/movies) but would like 2 more: The latest 1701-E and the "newest" 1701 form the 09 and 13 movie. Anyone know where I can find these?

    My AXM ISS 1:100 is coming together

    So for my 3rd paper model I decided to tackle the ISS. AXM has an amazing model of this. Every time I put a section together I learn something new. I suspect that by the time I get closer to the end I will be doing things a lot better and more efficient. Having said that I'm not building this...

    Do you know how hard it is to........

    Model when you have a wrist splint on? And it's on your cutting and everything hand. The sad thing is I did it by falling UP the stairs. Yep I'm getting old :v8: Oh well it's not going to stop me from starting my ISS project. It may slow me down but not stop me :thumb:

    1:100 shuttle model?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm wanting to know if anyone knows of a place that I can find a 1:100 scale shuttle model. The only one I've found is very complicated and way to time consuming for me right now. (lower hudson valley) I'm building the AXM ISS and everything I do needs to be...

    What difference is there in paper lb wise?

    OK I'm trying to build some ISS parts and I notice I'm suppose to build in 110lb and 90lb paper. Is there a huge difference in how it will go together if I just use 110lb for all of it? What if I can only find 80lb instead?

    ESA's ATV model?

    Anyone know where I can get my hands on the ATV (ESA'a transpot) in 1:100 scale? I found one but it looks a lot larger than 1:100 scale but I'm not sure though.

    I did a fast easy model on Saturday. My first attempt at a tube. The tube turned out great. I still need to work on the cone portion but I'm still earning :)

    My first build: Space-X Dragon *FINISHED*

My first model is of the Space-X Dragon (capsule) and aft this is complete I'll move onto the Falcon-9 with Dragon payload model. I'm...

    Shuttle Launch Pics

    Just thought I would share some of these with you guys. I'm a huge space fan. I've been to Cape Canaveral a few times and could spend days in the NASA facility with no problems. I was fortunate enough to get to see the engineers put together a piece of the ISS the first time I visited. I've been...

    How do I laminate?

    OK I'm very new to this hobby and I've seen a lot of stuff being said about laminating. What do you use and how do you use it? I'm assuming that after the model is put together you laminate the whole thing but what do you use or am I wrong about the timing of the laminating part? I'm making my...

    How to make a good round tube?

    I am completely new (3 weeks) to the whole paper modeling deal. I've resisted for 20 years (been doing plastic models for 35+ years). My first attempt was the Space-X Falcon-9 Dragon. The capsule wet together great. The issue I had was with the rocket itself. The drawing had no tabs to glue...

    Converted plastic modeler here......

    Just go into paper models. (I've built one small one) My son really likes Stargate so I figure I would get a few of those going. I've been building plastic models for almost 40 years and never tried this till recently. I'm really get into it though.
