First, this project isn't dead. The problem is, that I'm searching a suitable model. Grale's 3ft Normandy was great, but was canceled. I wrote the Sulaco is too small for the electronics... I build the first 5 groups and must say sign1 This babe is huge. But to build this giant as a prototype...

Due to the problems with this model I sadly give up. I'm not in the mood to run into insolvable problems after building for weeks. With an unlocked .pdo I would keep on trying, but no answer from Grale. I hope he will come back and continue his nice work. Thread can be closed. :-(

I think we should let him rest. Please don't goof on him. Grant him a break and we'll see if he comes back and continues his work. I agree in all terms to Zathros, but I also knew that this model was beta. Anyway I printed it out and started to build it, knowing that there could be problems...

@Zathros: Perhaps you scared him off, but there are rules and to create a papercraft model, it needs more than to unfold a captured ingame model and play around with pepakura. I have no problem to build such a model, when I know to have backup from the creator. What makes me really angry is that...

I will keep on trying to finish the model. Currently I'm building the nose and encountered some problems. It seems that some of the little parts don't match 100%. I assume there're some problems with the alliance color texture. I asked Grale for the unlocked .pdo file. Without it, there's no...

1) Recessed black window sections; Make flush with rest of hull No, because it's not very difficult to build and looks nice 2) Convert all 45 degree angles to full 90 When I finished the hull, I can answer this In my opinion, formers for the hull would be nice. That would make the hull more...

Hmm, at the moment she's a flabby piece of paper. But when the whole first part of the fuselage is done, thoughts will flow and you'll see :-)

Go to Menu Settings -> Texture Settings. In the new window point the four Textures to the according files in the Alliance Color-folder.

reached 100cm, impressive :twisted:

Oh yes, Pepakura says, she will be about 120cm :mrgreen::thumb:

She's growing slowly, 63cm so far:

Thanks, I started with the easy looking parts. There are no assembly instruction, so I often must have a look to the pepakura model. This will decrease speed when it becomes complicated. At it will become VERY complicated I think. :-) Speed is not important to me. A nice looking model is by far...

First of all BIG thanks for this beauty. I started this model yesterday with the alliance collor sheme and discovered an error. This is the correct side: And here you can see a half of the Symbol on the wrong side, should be corrected in the texture file I think:

I started this monster yesterday. As you can see, it will be big:

I built group 1 of the Sulaco and although it's a big ship, with about 13cm width it would be very narrow for the electronics. I will build some parts of the 3ft Galactica, to see the size of the hull and engines. Perhaps I will copy the sheets on A3 paper for the prototype, although it will...
