Ok a semi-odd request..
I need a picture of the dropship bay as if you were standing directly below it looking up at it. Would also need pictures of the drop doors too, inner and outer skin..
Can anyone guess what I'm up too?
For what u need this?...:eek::rolleyes:


___________________________________________________________
at first some facts: I´ve printed the Tiny Dropship into 160g/m2 card stock paper. This material (paper) is on the edge of comfortable work,
but the result is more durable.:thumb:
As it was written above the PDF document represents the style of future look of the Uss Sulaco.
The pdf is like bitmap or jpg format. ( the parts of the model are on the whole place without white area)
If you will print this pdf file ( always with fit to page feature on:twisted:), your printer will downscale this sheet (onto 94% mostly) and add non printable area (9~12 mm white edge).
I´ve calculated with 12mm in Pepacura Designer....My printer is making 9mm edge...so the final model of the dropship is 6.2cm long instead of 6cm (in my case).

It´s not too bad...from 1.7meter will be 1.75....it means that i will have my sulaco 5 centimeters longer. that means 1:418 scale....

But who cares : it doesn't matter what scale will you obtain, the inportant thing is print the sheets of the papercraft always with same printer settings...nothing more.:mrgreen:

*smiles* Sorry my oddball sense of humor comes out when it's late and I'm tired.
I'd like to display the Dropship as is if it's being dropped from a launch bay 'installed' in the ceiling.

Considering Mr Rukr's normal attention to detail, I'm suprised the tiny dropship doesn't have a teeny tiny APC in it.....
 
OK, that may have been one of the most challenging small projects I've attempted to date. Don't get me wrong: I loved it! It was a fun hour or so.

At 89% printer output size the completed 16 part mini-Cheyenne came in at 6 Cm total length. Here are a few shots of my build.

Keep working on that Sulaco, Jan. I'm very eager to build it.

Wow you guys aren't kiddin' about the size of this thing! I haven't printed mine out yet. I'm afraid if I built it now, I'd lose it somewhere on my desk!:mrgreen: Looks good Darmat!
 
I used the normal 110 lb card stock I usually use, but I would recommend something a little thinner now that I've done it. That glossy paper Jan used sure looks good, doesn't it!?
