Hey all,
Just joined here earlier today, after being made aware of VFR's awesomely-done UNSC Pelican Dropship Pepakura model on another forum. Definitely going to get me a download of that file, lol.
Been an avid modeller for the last twelve years, though my area of expertise may be considered somewhat different from what's seen around here. My main focus is TV & Film props.
Pretty much Star Trek (Phasers, Tricorders, etc.), although I have begun to diversify my prop collection a bit with some Babylon 5, Blade Runner, TRON Legacy and HALO items thrown into the mix.
Of the last twelve years I've been in the prop hobby, the last six I've really gotten into scratch-building some of the rarer and more obscure props for my own collection.
In the last year I've also gotten into the production end of things (molding/casting) to make some of those items also available to others. It's pretty fun stuff once you get the hang of it.
As far as paper modelling goes, the most I've done to date is a HALO Mk VI Master Chief helmet, and a HALO Reach Kat helmet.
I also started a small-scale UNSC Pelican Dropship at one point, but didn't get very far with it on account I was confused on some of the parts.
I find the the Pepakura method interesting, and a good base to work from though I do end up reinforcing\detailing them with prop-related materials in the end, lol.
Once the site issues with pics and attachments has been resolved I'll see about posting some of my past and present works here.
