Thanks starbuck :D I'm into the home stretch on these now:- I will be layering these pods - I just have to work out which parts to inset and which to project.

Thanks Jim :D

The main body is now complete and the parts for the ventral 'pod' are being cut and edge-coloured:-

Thanks guys :D. It's an old Motorola Razr that has the Star Trek style flip open cover - although the hinge is a bit stiff to do Kirk's wrist twist to open it - lol.

@spaceagent-9 I remembered to take the photo of the phone:- I just laminated a pic I found online and stuck it onto the flip cover. I tried using black paint for the rest, but it wore off the first time I put it in my pocket. After scraping off the remaining paint I used black insulating tape...

@spaceagent-9 I'll see what I can do Jim - I laminated the grill flip-cover so there might be glare off the camera flash... All the scoring is done and I've cut the parts for all ten cruisers. I started edge colouring as well. I decided to have insets for the grill panels; no individual grill...

Aye, I'm still alive ;) Page three is finished and I've started on pages 4 and 5:- I'm going to add a layer for the recesses on the rear protrusions. If I was only doing one of these I would also layer the mauve grill sections. The strips for the edges of the wings are ~0.5mm thick so I'll...

@Rhaven Blaack lol - no, it's 'only' 10 cruisers, but there are 25 Cardassian Galors in the pipeline, as well as 7 Mirandas, 2 Sabres and 5 Klingon bop's. When this one is done I'll be taking a break from dioramas I reckon! ;)

Loads of contouring folds, a gazillion fold scores and a few calluses later, the bulk of the upper wing surface is complete for the ten cruisers:- Joining the front section to the main 'wing' section took eight paper strips each, ie 80 tiny bits of paper to connect all ten - lol. Three...

Awesome :D

After what seems like an eternity, all the pieces were edge-coloured, strapped with thin paper strips and joined up. I then cut the ten page 2's along with their layers:- I'm using an Eaglemoss model as a rough guide, so that's led me to recess the grey rectangles and have three very narrow...

@Rhaven Blaack My post wasn't very clear - lol. I've got 10 of the cruisers to build so it's only one extra sheet for the layers :). Today was spent cutting the other nine first pages.. This appears to be the underside and I don't think there are any layers on these pieces. Obviously I'll...

I rescaled and lightened the template for the Jem'hadar cruiser and ran off 20 copies to allow for layers. This is the first page of parts:-

Everything connected gives me two 40mm long Steamrunners:- Next up is the Federation attack fighter. I found some orthographics for in interwebland (sorry, I can't give you credit because I can't remember whose they were) and extended the wings to compensate for the tilt before shrinking them...

The central piece for the bridge had to be trimmed a bit, but I completed the saucers then cut the second page of parts and some layers:-
