    ARMORMAN's WARHAMMER 40K Models Thread

    I'll vouch for his work. He's got a lot of other models available for free download. Good instructions, too. Not 40K, but 28mm scale.

    Macross MAC II Monster Build Along

    THIS THREAD IS NOT DEAD!!! We've just had a round of some sort of springtime guck go through our house. As soon as we're not oozing like swamp zombies, we'll get the arms done.

    Mecha Tricks: Compound Curves and Sturdy Feet

    Interesting. I know a guy who used to spray foam insulation into houses. He'd fill up a box with a "test spray" to make sure he had the consistency right. He said they made great exploding rifle targets. I've just used the gooey crap that comes in rattle cans. It fills gaps, but always seems to...

    CASTEL DEL MONTE, a rocky model.

    Looks great! Z, you live in some beautiful country. I also live down off a dead-end road. I just wish it was farther from civilization, or more hidden.

    Assembly foam...is that like spray foam insulation?

    Mecha Tricks: Compound Curves and Sturdy Feet

    I do have a printer, but we mostly use it to print off stuff for our kids (we home school them). And I'd rather go blow through Kinko's ink than my own. Theirs seems to do a better job...when the right person does it. But I'll keep your occupation in mind, should mine ever act up! Thanks!

    Macross MAC II Monster Build Along

    Now that I'm back to the day job, it takes a lot longer to get anything done! But we were able to get the main guns built and glued into place. All the parts: The main challenge was getting the barrels to roll smoothly, since their orientation on the paper is across the grain (but they...

    Mecha Tricks: Compound Curves and Sturdy Feet

    I haven't messed with floral foam much. I tried it back when I used to make wargames terrain, and gave up on it. Too many crumblies, and not tough enough for my standards. But inside a model...hmmmm.

    Mecha Tricks: Compound Curves and Sturdy Feet

    I'll ask next time at Kinky's and see what they charge. Knowing them, probably something comparable to the gross domestic product of a small country. I'll let you know what they say. Thanks for the link, RF, I'll look it up!

    Mecha Tricks: Compound Curves and Sturdy Feet

    Never thought of those techniques. Kinko's uses dye-based inks, and super glue will smear them. As a side note, I have stuffed parts with glue-soaked toilet paper to stiffen them, and it seems to help reinforce curved parts. But these are both great ideas (and a lot less time-consuming than...

    Dad gum! That is a masterpiece! Hey, Greedo pointed a gun at Han, then started monologuing. Served him right. :)

    Mecha Tricks: Compound Curves and Sturdy Feet

    I'm not real sure if this is the best forum, but since the model I'm working with is Sci-Fi, it seemed to fit. I came up with this idea a couple of weeks ago, and experimented with it to see how well it would work. While the method seems to work well, my implementation needs more practice...

    Thunderchild's Starcar and Gunstar on silver card

    What a work of art! This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Unfortunately, I was never abducted by Aliens to fight an interstellar war (not that I remember, anyway :) ) I like how the balsa wood reinforcing is coming out as well. That's a great idea! Where would I look to find the...

    Macross MAC II Monster Build Along

    We got some more added to the torso, finishing out the cockpit, rear sections, and a few add-ons. A few points on lining things up that I learned: When putting the top pieces of the torso together, line up the TOP edges, not the bottom. We ended up with about a 1/8" drop between the...
