    6 Foot PAPER Battlestar Build by “Uncle” Joe Thornton

    That is Amazing! I would love to try something like this, but I don't think I could commit 20 years to it. And at the pace I build at, it would probably be more like 40 years. Also, my wife thought my 3 foot long model of an ocean liner was too big, she'd freak if I built a 6' anything.

    Cargo ship

    Maybe if you offer to pay the price of their paper they would let you substitute yours? I went to the scenescapes site and saw this ship, does anyone know if it's based on a real ship or if it's a generalization?

    Twiki Build in the pipe

    Why would you ever want to put a piece of paper under a paperweight, when you could cut it up and glue it into something?? :mrgreen:

    Cleanspace One - Janitor Satellite in 1:1

    30 x 10 x 10 cm? Seems you could pack dozens into one Arienes rocket and task each separately, creating a man made meteor shower of space junk!!

    Lunar Module LM5 / 1:12 / own design

    What? Paper modelling is not the first priority of your life???:shock: Personally, I blame my lack of free time on my dog. The little freeloader expects to be fed EVERY DAY so I have to work to maintain a house and the kind of lifestyle he demands. I'd probably be able to do more...

    Is there anyone from North Carolina here?

    Absolutely agree with Zathros. The world is full of strange people, gotta be careful.

    Magnetic Building Board

    I recently got a steel dry-erase board from Walmart that came with a couple of magnets, for my office. I bet that would work as a model-table surface.:thumb: BTW, what ship are you building? Are you doing a build thread?

    AXM 1/144 Space Shuttle Atlantis

    When I built my Challenger, I had the same problem lining up the cargo hold with the outer skin walls, and ended up doing the same thing you did - starting over. I chose to worry only about lining up the black lines, and ended up like yours did - except I thought thought I was doing something...

    Paper putty

    I looked it up. Powdered cellulose is about $ 200 a jar. Yikes! You could buy a lot of paper with that.

    Paper putty

    You can buy cellulose powder from Fisher Scientific http://www.fishersci.com. It's used in chromatography. But it's pretty expensive. Maybe there's other options out there.
