    Resource Andrew Probert's Triangle Ship (studio scale)

    My skill set will limit me to the standard detailed version - lol. Fitting tribute to Andrew Probert. What a prolific contributor to science fiction! My favorite quotation - "As much as I (still) love making films, I hated the politics, ass-kissing, and back-stabbing that it took to get most...

    Terrier Missiles

    Now that the way has been cleared to share, I do have a copy of the instructions. Tried my first upload. Receiving error about file having zero bytes? Anyway, anyone feel free to move the instructions to to Resource Section. http://1drv.ms/1GzCRdS

    Unknown model

    The ship name is the Arcadia. It is published by Wani Magazine. Not normally stocked but you can back-order it. The same company printed the Space Cruiser Yamato which I am currently struggling with at my first attempts at seams without overlaps - lol. If I were going to order it today I...

    Terrier Missiles

    Used to be on Dpileggispicks.com and provided by Wolfgang Perez. Long gone and wayback provides files that are corrupt. If no one can provide a host site for the files that is still up and running, PM me. A current location of those files would be more valuable to everyone as there were many...

    Visual Spicer Lamborghini aventador

    Very nice indeed. I like the wall hanging. I just purchased the Interceptor myself. 40 pages not including the instructions! You are not going to find many 30" sport car models for four dollars (PDF). If you are a detail freak and are ready to fork over the twenty-seven dollars for the...

    A handy folding tool

    I bend very small parts with wafer tweezers. They have large flat tips. Those old school metal spring paper clips work well, are cheap. and come in different sizes. You can square the edges with sandpaper on a piece of scrap glass to keep everything flat. You can also use them for straight...

    3 foot battlestar

    That one appears to be the up-scaled gearz model. Cannot verify as I have yet to gain access to the downloads. It is hosted at jleslie48.com with no download requirements. Credits in the cover page include ekuth, the builder in the above thread. Nicest one I have seen and appears the...

    Whither Matt Jeffries shuttle?

    The Jefferie's shuttle "wings" look like they are asking to be retractable, each hinged at two places allowing the nacelles to be tucked in close to the fuselage. Retracted for storage and deployed for warp? The retracted version could be made to show a strong resemblance to the Galileo with...

    Paragons Models

    Definitely for Star Trek fans. Some I have not seen elsewhere. Venture scout, Jem Hadar Attack Ship, and some Cardassian ones as well. And if you are like me and like shuttles there is only a dozen or so .... Lol

    The Monster -- USS Enterprise NCC1701 Refit 1:200 Scale

    Just had to post a big Thanks! Had to look around for it as my post count is still low. Left a noticeable dent in my "toner remaining" display - lol

    How do I prevent printed image cracking during folding?

    My Ricoh color laser prints fine - understanding the limitations. Under a microscope the ugly white ridges that show up in the fold appear to be cracked paper. As the laser color is a coating of sorts, when the paper cracks underneath the white of the paper shows through. Inks absorb into the...

    Finally making time for paper modeling

    I have seen some very skilled work with the transparency/tape method. Skill and patience well beyond mine. Unfortunately, my OCD can't deal with the seams on the bubble-type canopies where you cannot hide them. I work in the medical field and the most common plastic for sealed packaging is...

    Finally making time for paper modeling

    For me, hobbies have been on the back burner for the last number of years. Interests - mainly scifi, aviation, and fantasy building dioramas in that order. Have been selling much of my 2-3 decade old collection of plastic models towards a ricoh color laser printer. I liked the one at work -...
