Check this out:


Scan to 7:28.

I love the video - I had to watch the whole thing. And thanks for the excellent shot of that door. I think I'll just include all the parts and leave it to the builder whether they want to build it open or closed. For now.

Progress

is there any progress on the SR2 yet? i downloaded the SR1 and it looks fantastic, can't wait to build it. just want an SR2 to go with it.

I've made some progress since the last pictures I posted but I've been very busy with work and finishing off that handgun I'm building. Never fear, I will get it done, but I'm not the fastest designer in the world - too many projects, too little time.

In the meantime I've also acquired a Mako mesh from another member here so we'll eventually have a nice Make model to go along with the Normandies.

Cheers,

Steve

here are some progress pics from my sr1 build. it's not the greatest, but i'm still new to this. first ship i've ever built like this. any tips for the upper wings and the tower for the rear "wing"? those are gonna give me some challenge.

Hi InsaneDDay69,

here's my trick for the Hull center section & front & rear, if you print another front & rear section & hull center section just cut out carefully from the top where you got the normandy name after that just paste on top of where the joined is if your not shore what i'm taking about i can post some pics up for you.

you mean just overlay another hull set onto my existing one? thats a pretty neat idea, i just might do that. any advice for the round tower or the rounded parts of the upper wings? i'm working on the upper engines right now, but i'll get to the wings soon hopefully. thanks for the tip either way.
 
i have had a problem with the lower wing & glue the engine to it so on the wing i put small tag on the lower wing where the engine sit in place.

i use normal A4 paper but it was to weak so i cut the parts out & glue it on another a4 paper to double the thickness. too expensive to buy 160 or 200 gm/2 paper.

but i'm not sure witch part that is what your taking about on the upper wing is it on the engine where it rounded.

ME2 Normandy is definite eye candy - definitely will try my hand at building it when completed and available. Great work so far - it looks great.

not the engine, but the wing itself right where the engine attaches.

sorry melvin008 on posting pic on your thread.
is it the picture i posted that your talking about if it is i posted on the last post on what i did.

i put small tabs on the wing to join the engine to the wing. i hope this help you if you need anymore help im happy to help along the way or other member can join in on helping you. i just started doing another normandy the first one i did parts started falling off so i scratch that one now i'm doing another one.

oh ok that the part your talking about yeh it was tricky at first but not so hard as the antenna part that goes on the Fin.
Part 1.make shore that the white backing is slanted inwards to the rounded end i posted witch way to face it.
Part 2.i haven't made part 2 yet but if you did put the curved part goes on the round end on part 1 but have it facing downwards as far as it goes.
Part 3.the part 3 with the fine point that it's facing towards you from the front of the normandy.

i hope i said that right i'm not to good with words but i'm good with pic & editing them.
if it does not help you with the part i'll post more pic for you so you can get rough idea on those parts.

Instructions

this piece is gonna be the trouble. sorry for swiping the pic SJ, i didnt know how else to explain it.

No worries at all. A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

Generally in my instructions I assume a moderate level of building experience, so first time builders would tend to find some pieces more challenging than they perhaps really are.

If there are parts that could use more illustration I can put together some more step by step type diagrams and publish updated instructions. Just let me know which you find to be the confusing. This helps me make better instructions for future projects too.

the only part i find confusing is the angle on the lower wings. i just couldnt visualize it (so mine are flat lol i cheated). other than that, i see no problems with your instructions. i worked on another project before this one, a halo reach pistol. due to time and other things it was never finished, this is just my first vehicle. my problem is that i suck with small rounded parts lol.
 
This is how i got my upper wing like it not a1 100 percent but it close to it in your instruction.

sjsquirrel your instruction is easy to understand it perfect:mrgreen:.the only trouble was i'm not shore where to mount the upper wing to the lower hull but i found some picture of the normandy so no drama now.

i may just shortcut mine if i cant get it right, and i agree about the instructions. that alot more than ive seen for anything else, the halo papercraft i had was pretty much unfold with pepakura designer and put the puzzle together. i think its awesome that you took the time to help guide people that want to build your models, says alot about your dedication to the art. every piece has been easy to understand with just a few seconds of studying, and the detail is amazing. i just want to say thanks to anthony344 for trying to help me out, and to sjsquirrel for the amazing kit.

Any time mate i try to help out as much as i can when i've done one & some trick that i learn't my self when i comes to building model.

sjsquirrel i'm starting on designing the hammerhead tank M44 from mass effect 2, i been doing 3d model for 2 months on learning on autodesk 3ds so i'm giving a crack at it & see what comes up with it. but if someone else post a thread before me, i still work on it & convert it to paper model.

Great work! but i have a 1 question
Can You Create from this 3d model a framework i think You know what i mean
thats will be easier to build and the model will be stronger.
But thanks for this great model

Yes, I am planning on including some internal support for this model. I have an idea that I think will work well. I will be ready for a test build of the fuselage soon.

I'm presently fine-tuning all the sections of the fuselage and the "layers" of detailing. While working on this I realized that some of the sections I created are quite small. In order to retain some details that I like, this is unavoidable, so a test build is going to be mandatory. My available time is really up and down right now so progress has been slow, but at least I can say I am still progressing.

Bye for now,

Steve
