I've ventured back to paper modeling. Here are the fist pictures of my Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper Mk. II using Ninjatoes pattern.
I started by altering the antenna array by recessing the compartment on both sides and scratchbuilding the pieces using a second copy of the parts.
Step 1: I print two sheets of the parts involved. I cut the parts from one sheet and glued them on cereal box. These parts will be cut out later and used for the raised parts.
Step 2: On the second sheet, lay out 1/16" and 1/8" all around. These will be formed to create the recessed area.
Step 3: From the pattern glued on the cereal box, I carefully cut out all the parts I thought would be raised (eight pieces) and carefully glued them into place.
Doing this really looks better than the flat, one dimensional original.
More to come tomorrow.
