Have fun and enjoy! :)

I did some maths and found out that the model is about 1/5 ... 1/6 scale. The texture could be a tad crisper but that should be an easy task. The gears in my head are already spinning..! :)

I have already begun tracing the lines to turn the template into a vector graphic... ;)
NICE! I was gonna make it today, but I guess I'll have to wait… 'till next year.

I thought The Force Awakens was incredible (I've seen it three times and counting) and I'm sincerely hoping we'll be seeing some models of the new ships sometime in the not-so-distant future, especially Kylo's shuttle and the new X-WIngs. Loved the design work on those

Yep, the movie was great fun! When I saw it the first time I thought the title was wrong. It should have been "The Falcon Awakens"! :D;)

My first impression was that he was a snide little millennial, but after a few watchings I guess I like him. I am looking at the great paper model work here. It comes to me that if you made a back panel and under it put a panel with a pc fan beneath, that the ball would spin. The head could be suspended from the back panel with a guitar string or something and it would look like he's rolling along. I also keep thinking the ball shape is good, and might be used for a UFO moonbase cabin, if the pentagon sections were shaded properly [ hint hint ]
