    Been a while .....

    Doesn't look like too much has changed though :) New version of Pepakura and lots of new faces...and some old ones too. Been quite a while wince I did any development work, but things have kind of settled down at home, and I think it's about time I got back into doing hte things I like...

    warhammer 40k Armoured Train

    If you download my LandRaider add ons you can have parts for various weapons I made to turn the Land Raider into a Razorback/Damocles etc. They are all in self-contained turret forms that you could just glue onto your train. Another possibiliy is to download hte Dreadnought and use the weapon...

    My 3foot Galactica attempt

    You can use markers, or I prefer to use pencils. I have a set of good soft artists pencils in a variety of colours. I tended to find ink would soak into the paper or card and bleed through sometimes. you don't get that with pencil! As mentioned before, edge colour before glueing, as it is...

    Warhammer 40K Old Rhino

    The LeMan Russ I made has a pintle mounted bolter in the options parts along with a dozer blade...or if you want twin linked bolters, pinch the ones off the Razorback add-on parts. The scale will be right :)

    Warhammer 40K

    I have been pondering some Chaos conversions too... but that's a project for after Christmas :)

    Warhammer 40K

    Oops..I fear my killer lack of instructions have struck :eek: Where the legs join the round hip joint area there should be a cutout section so the leg fits up inside the round hip part. This makes the legs a bit more in proportion. Also, the small rectangular pieces you have on top of hte...

    Warhammer 40K Vulture

    This is the beauty of paper models. You can mess about and do conversions and so on without hte fear of messing up a £50 Forgeworld resin job. a good result

    Whammy's Battletech mechs

    Think Floyd ... going mad with the link button is OK in my book...especially when you turn up a link to more Mech papermodels than I ever thought even existed! I suppose I will have to download a few for building at some point :thumb: Good find!

    Nebula-Class: Phoenix + Sutherland

    Can't knock the quality ... but I just can't find it in my heart to like these Next Generation buses! sign1

    Federation Frigate NCC 150 Okinawa

    If you are not a 3D modeller, and don't have any contacts who are... then you will be pretty much stuck with the mesh you have. This will limit some of hte design choices you have when it comes to the work in Pepakura. In order to make that cross bit more 3D, you would have to change the 3D...

    Free model#3 Skips BumbleBee Camaro Concept.

    I got fed up with having to re-charge electric cars, and love the smell of burning nitro :) The chassis on mine is solid aluminium, and very strong... but after a messed up landing from a jump, she cartwheeled and made a mess.... Might do a search for a suitable model to try this on, or else...

    Free model#3 Skips BumbleBee Camaro Concept.

    Hmm...putting the car on an RC body...that gives me an idea! If a paper model like this were to be built, it could ( I suppose ) be reinforced with fibreglass matting and resin to make an actual car body. Might try that. Since my only working RC car is a glow-plug job running nitro, putting a...

    Warrior Bug

    I think the fact that it is small and fairlyu simple to build is a real asset. As has already been mentioned, one Bug on it's own looks good.... but a HORDE is what you want to see, and a big and complex model won't lend itself to that. Would make a terrific diorama with a dozen of these...

    Tiny 1/200 Viper Mk II from new BSG

    I just love these tiny models! More so than the big ones for some reason. I think they just have a 'cute' factor, as well as being far easier to store when tou have built them!!!

    Outland Shuttle Build

    It's funny, Graham... but that's what we always think! I managed to push my bike over to the kerb, and was busily checking it over for damage when the cretin who took me out asked if I was OK. It was only then I realised that my hand looked like a inflated washing up glove, and none of the...

    Outland Shuttle Build

    Graham....what can I say but OUCH! I feel the pain too. Had a near one myself a few years back when some idiot opened a car door in the middle of traffic just as I went past. Hit the rear edge of the door and went down. Ended up with my right hand trapped under the bike with the bar end...

    Nebula-Class: Phoenix + Sutherland

    That's what I loved about learning German at school ...it's such a logical language! Saucer....what the hell has that got to do with sauce? The German is literally 'under cup' .. which is where the thing goes sign1 That aside, I think this model is going to look pretty sweet when it's...

    Pillar of Autumn - Anyone doing this?

    A lot of the texturing and colouring on the model is doen using Lightwave materials, rather than actual UV mapping. This stuff would probably not show up properly in Meta. It looks sweet in Lightwave though ;) I couldn't resist doing some tinkering and simplifying with a view to unfolding. The...

    Pillar of Autumn - Anyone doing this?

    The Pillar mesh is still available on Foundation 3D...which I am a member of... so I downloaded a copy. It even makes my system slow when I try to view it all at once. It is a work of beauty. The armour plates are all there to make up and lay on as layers. It's just sitting there screaming...

    Pillar of Autumn - Anyone doing this?

    N time right now...but I would love a copy of that mesh for futire efforts :) I kind of assumed someone would have already taken this on.... but it seems not. Big task....but eminently possible
