Thought I'd pass this along...
The majority of the single page Ads sent as Bulk (Junk) Mail are on heavy Cardstock that works great for Internal reinforcement, such as formers & stiffeners. It's also good for Laminating small parts. The printing on the heavier stuff won't bleed through either...
I took a hiatus from Modelling just about the time you had just printed the Instrument Panels. I come back over a Year later, & now you've completed the whole damned thing! Magnificent is all I can say; if you intend to do the Outer 1/4 Deck with the same amount of Detail, it will be something...
zathros,
Thanks so much for taking a look at The Rose for me. I'll just build Rocket's Model as it's laid out, and look for a full hull Model out there somewhere.
Cheers!

zathros,
Many thanks for your Reply! Here's a Link to the Paper Model that inspired my Question:

And I've also included some Drawings I found on the Web.
Please let me know what you think...
Cheers!
Alan :)
Happy Holidays!
I'm wondering if it's feasible to take a Waterline ship Model, and modify it so one would end up with a 'completed' Hull?
I presume some sort of 'skeleton' of formers & ribs would need to be made, then basically laying the horizontal strips down to make up the rest of the Hull...
So...
After conversing with spaceagent-9, who provided me with some very nice .pdf's of the 'Ptolemy' (many Thanks again), I started on the Build. I started with the Connecting Dorsal, which was very straightforward. I then proceeded on to the Warp Nacelle, and ended up with this:
I went...
Didn't Wham-O market a "Star Trek' Frisbee similar to the Saucer, with all of the Graphics, to boot?
Thanks for the Tips; they'll be quite helpful as I continue with my 'Saladin' Class Refit!

I'm curious; would Horizontal strips of Paper, set radially from the Center of the Disc to the outer edge, assist with stiffening & shaping the Contours of the Disc?
Sort of like an internal 'skeleton', but without as many Ribs?

Greetings!
I'm trying to decide on what to Build for my 2nd Model; I'm leaning towards the 1/1700 Scale Enterprise-A, but I have a question. While perusing the Search Results for "Starship", I came across this Thread:
USS Columbia Build
Down towards the bottom of the Page, there's a Post by...
Everywhere there's a printed Texture, except for Windows and the Doors! I realized that the greebles make the Model 'pop' and give it more Depth! Also, using CA on the Tabs definitely lowers the stress factor when building; just a drop spread thin does the trick!
Alan :sticktongue:
Broncos & Rockies won, so back to the Packard! Lots of greeble to cut out...
Impulse Engine base done & installed...
And the finished product...
Enjoy!
Alan :sticktongue:
Thanks! Engines installed, with the greeble of the Phaser bank showing...
More greeble on the ventral side...
And a Side View...
Will continue with the Build, after the conclusion of the Broncos and Rockies games!
Cheers!
