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...

I found your Thread on Lofting the Sharpie hull; it looks like the design of the bottom half is quite an undertaking! :)

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! Alan thumbsup

zathros, Many thanks for your Reply! Here's a Link to the Paper Model that inspired my Question: http://rocketmantan.deviantart.com/art/HMS-Surprise-Paper-Model-378020706 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...

Found it... Now back to our regularly scheduled Program... Alan :sticktongue:

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! Alan

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? Alan

Gandolf, I didn't think about that, due to the age of the Original Thread... but I will try. Thanks! Alan :sticktongue:

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! Alan :sticktongue:

Well, after spending some time perusing the Threads, reading and practicing a LOT, I decided to dive in and try a Model... it's the Hudson Class Runabout USS Packard. I noticed that there are parts (2A-C), that are splitting images of what's printed on the Model; I take it these are...

Many thanks for the insights, zathros! I wasn't aware that RTG's are lacking in the higher Electrical ranges; guess I'll stick with the old 'tried and true' method... Solar/Thermal Panels it is, then! Alan

I like the placement of the Name & Registry # on your Primary Hull; others I've seen either sit too close the edge of the Disc, or too high on the hump. Looks great... keep on Truckin'! Alan

When Daniel Novacek re-appeared, it drummed up the 'dirty laundry' Adama perceived he was involved in with the Admiralty. Alan

The latest Space X/Falcon 9 rocket suffered a mishap on the Pad during a 1st Stage engine Test... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/02/science/spacex-rocket-explosion.html No loss of Life, but the Vehicle & Payload were destroyed. Alan :frak:
