Nice! I don't know if he realizes how long, and the effort put into making them, but he was sure happy enough. Who wouldn't be! I left a post there, inviting him to look at the other models you have made. :)

This should be great! :)

That nose cone came out perfect. ;)

Use glues used for paper primarily. Something that makes a strong mechanical bond. :)

Must you make everything so perfect. The bar is so high now, it's actually gotten longer, due to the decrease of gravity, and will soon leave orbit, meaning a new Bar will have to be purchased, and they aren't cheap! :)

That model is F'king beautiful. It's the best!! :)

That's a nice model. Definitely worth posting. If you cut out the windows, and replace them with plastic, coloring the inside a translucent gray color, it makes the model look a lot more realistic. I use "Blister" plastic off of packaging for windows. It's free, and comes in many...

Welcome to ZEALOT. One of our favorite modelers is from Brazil, his name is "Ronaldo", he is an esteemed member of this forum. Welcome!! :hand-shake:

Super Glue builds up in your system and will cause you medical problems as its main ingredient is Cyanide!! Don't ever use "Superglue" for modeling. "Zip-Dry" works very well, you can stick metal to rubber with it. "UHU" Glue products also work very well. I use it for ship model framing...

Welcome to ZEALOT! It will be great to see pics of what you are doing. Feel free to post pics in this thread of any work you have done. :)

There are different methods for skinning an object. One is the sock method. The other is gluing each section in opposing pairs, so the frame stays straight. You start from the ends, working your way towards the center. It's easier to adjust the separate center pieces than it is to fit end...

Now, "that's a nice meatball!" :)

These pics will explain how to avoid accrued intolerance. 1st pic are two parts separated by strip (Red). 2nd Pic is a strip glued onto one side of the panel. 3rd Pic is parts together, with the strip on the bottom, made translucent so you could see the strip underneath. Only a line would...

If you don't put the paper parts on the same plane, they will always look overlapped. No amount of filler can fix that. Use a strip of paper, let it dry, then but the next piece up to it, and check for fit, if it is smooth, then glue. Saw tooth, or paper flaps attached to the ends of skin...

Half of the battle is getting detailed 3 way drawings that one can work with. I like to do ship hulls. Finding lofting tables can be really hard. I'd like to do the 1975 CB400F, or the 1983 GS750ES I own, but have yet to find line drawings that show the bike in sections like this modeler has...

I'd consider adding, then sanding filler, to smooth out the body. Seams popping up where they shouldn't would ruin a model that so far is fantastic! IMHO. ;)

I'd be tempted to use the "Grey Wolf" as an armature, apply clay to it to make it into a sculpture. ;)

Much better looking canopy. :)

That "Sphere" is quite awesome. I'd called it a "world's sphere". :)

When I was a kid, I built the Saturn V ESTES, and all stages lit. I lost most of the model over Long Island Sound. :)
