my going merry ship is from ninjatoes, not paper-replika. the jig scales a good amount, its a function of the strength of the corrugated cardboard. double it up if you need to and use thicker string. Add multiple coats of pva "paint" to stiffen the rat lines. for realistic rigging. ropes...

If you look here: http://jleslie48.com/gmerry/cs.html you see a technique I use in the first few pictures on how to make tiny ratlines. Make the jig out of corrugated cardboard, and then paint the strings that are raised off of the jig with pva glue. its quite painless.

I love these types of ships. I'm particularly interested in your steampunk and nautilus models. Actually all of them. I've looked at your other patterns on your website. some of them are uncolored, do you have colored versions of them?

great additions!!! thanks!

You really captured the comic book flavor congrats. This is one of the best human figures I've ever seen.

That is really clean. one of the best mech-like robots i've seen in paper.

whoa fella's looks like we have a new sheriff in town. yet again the bar is raised on model building. Thanks for the thread, I'm watching it with great anticipation. Sincerely, Jon

Rigging is surprisingly much easier than it seems as first. The trick is to make a jig. glue down the paper template of the rigging and put some cardboard risers at each end. make notches in the risers, and string your thread through the risers. then coat the thread with several layers...

but take a look at the Dollar tree store. similar clip light with only 3 leds, but its on $1, and still with the batteries/spst switch.

I'm getting a build report with a problem, anybody else run into this issue: I started assembling the skeleton, and the main spine and bulkheads seem to be in different scales--a big discrepancy in sizes. Several mm for bulkheads A and B--as far as I got.

OK, just to clarify, I believe these are the radio shack parts that are necessary for the project: RadioShack.com - Cables, Parts & Connectors: Component parts: Transistors & analog ICs: +5V Fixed-Voltage Regulator 7805 RadioShack.com - Cables, Parts & Connectors: Component parts...

Excellent implementation! I love the reuse of those old power supplies. I've got about a dozen of them from all the old kids toys, broken cordless phones, modems, et al. The regulator is the key.

Sounds great. Whenever you are ready to release it, just get me the release files in any format that you like.
