I created this thread for Oldminer.
Maybe this can help you.

Scratchbuilding a model of Moya from Farscape

This article was based on material I presented at Wonderfest 2003 in the “Advanced Scratchbuilding Course”, and was previously hosted on one of my older websites. The article has been s…

Its a scratch build maybe you can contact the designer.

Lots of compound radii. To do it justice would require much water forming of the skill. A proper hull design could help with that, but how many would actually build it? It would be extremely difficult. ;)

Hi,
The resin model is available at federations models in the models kits tab, starscape section. I've had it for more than 5 years in the box and will do it soon.
Measuring over 16" long

Are you measuring from the top side, or the base?.............................. :)
 
That's is an awesome model. Some people are really talented. To make that out of paper, you would have to do a "paper machet"(SP?) to form it, and sand to shape. A basic form could be made, to keep the wall thickness thin, but thick enough to sand to shape. The Resin model is the way to go with this. You have a very hard to find model. A lot of people are 3D printing these now. If you have a 3D printer, you can Google the files for the ship. ;)

Thanks, I never thought to look for a 3d model. I did find a few.

It can be done. Do you remember the Derelict ship from Alien? It too has some very strange shapes and was mastered with perfection as a paper model. When I look at the Moya I see a lot of tubes and internal formers. I would look for a 3D model or orthos and use that a blueprint to rig up a new simplified model which works for papercrafting. :)

Good luck! A good candidate for advanced water forming. :)
