Hello Friends, You know, the news is always full of negativity and stories of destruction :) Several years ago I was working in Bahrain and made a niffty little version of Shunichi Makino's Millenium Falcon. Well at the time we were all living in a large 5 bedroom villa and we would frequently...

Sawatdee kraup Shika, It has been some years since I was last based in Suvarnabhumi. My copmany at the time was chartered with Thai Airways to haul freight on our 747's. Keep up the good work, you will get there eventually. Please eat some phanaeng gai for me...its nearly impossible to get...

And to you from ours! We hope everyone has a wonderful day with family.

Hi Douglas, Ha! Thats pretty realistic you know. I have not worked in a hanger yet that did not have a list of "hanger rash" marks penciled in on the door frames :) Kind Regards, Cris

Hello Friends, Some progress on the hull. The most nerve wracking part of the entire model lies just ahead... @Zathros: For waterline models nearly all of the German publishers use a technique where the angles formed by the base plate and the decking form the hull bond line. The hull rests...

Hello Rich, Looking back through the thread, it seems like you are asking for a simple easy to reproduce sphere for the AK-130 and a similar approach for the turret on the Lowe tank. In about an hour I made this little prototype (I worked until the champagne ran out :). I chose to quickly...

Hello Joe and Welcome! I hope you will find many ideas for future projects. You have also instantly become my hero by mentioning card modeling in the same sentence as scuba diving and downhill skiing :) Kind Regards, Cris

Hello Douglas, Good job! It looks like you nicked it a bit on one of the corners, but its only a flesh wound. I hope we see much more from you. Keep up the good work! Kind Regards, Cris

Hello PaperAir, Please PM me. Regards, Cris

Hello Zathros, I was using the simplest comparison of the two programs, because he had no prior CAD experience. Yes of course Rhino is a multi purpose program...well no reason to blather on. I have used several modeling program's over the years and there is a steep learning curve. This is why...

Hello Friends, Thank you for your kind words! I neglected to mention that the model is comprised of 1645 parts with a completed length of 56cm or 22.5 inches. The additional lasercut set has about 65 parts printed on colored medium and heavy cardstock. Offhand I am guessing around 300 parts...

I hope you do! They are quite cute!

Hello, Kirks Inbox: Also, I always thought it would be cool to show the central park area inside the main dome. Kind Regards, Cris

Hello, Adolf Pirling who did the control build has a nice report here: http://www.kartonbau.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=28166 Maybe it would be beneficial to have a look. I remember seeing the Alan Rose models in Waldenbooks when I was much younger. Kind Regards, Cris

Hi Rich, Awww Man! I totally forgot to give your turret a try. I offered to help you "next door" a couple of weeks ago. I am such a bad person :cry: But, I see not much has changed, there is only so many ways to skin a cat. Have a look at the little Star Trek diorama I made (err sorry I have...
