I think it'll be around eight inches bow to stern? I haven't mocked up the halves yet, but if it's in the same scale as Paragon's Prometheus and Voyager models (I've already built those if anyone wants to see them haha), then it should be around there.

Thought I'd detail the other nacelle. I discovered after I finished that I put the name plates on the wrong nacelles, so they'll be upside down, haha. But other than that, pretty much a five sided box. The ventral part of the saucer decided to warp pretty hard on me, my fault for not finding...

Thanks haha, the "zzzzzyooooommmm" after it's all together makes all the hand cramps worth it

Thank goodness for tweezers! The deflector dish was interesting to say the least, but went together much smoother than I thought. After adding some strips to the inside of the engineering pod/hull, it was nice to find the dish was about the size of my finger, so easy clamping haha. Next is the...

Got the bug a little and got ahead of myself with the engineering hull, almost forgot to take any pictures! The scale of the deflector is a little scary, so that's a tomorrow project.

For my first build thread on here, I'd like to post a beta-build of paragon's steamrunner! I say beta-build since my printer is apparently running out of ink, and made some weird patterns on the model, haha. After looking at a lot of pictures online, and the model pages themselves, there is a...

This is some stunning work!

Much cheaper than therapy

First bar will be getting a good printer so I don’t have to deal with flaky ink lol

Well shucks, lol. Looking at your guys’ models and I’m mentally listing all the improvements this one needs, haha.

Yeah that’s what I thought, the colors on the laser jet are really good, but it’s become a habit to grab my brush pen and fill in the blanks on all the black parts, like i “repainted” this entire mustang nose…again from onimak’s website. When I want an ojimak model for display I use card stock...

After getting bit by the Star Trek bug again after finding out Star Trek online was available on PlayStation, I went through my library of old models and decided to tackle some projects that were too much for me a few years ago. I believe this is a paragon model, file name was simply...

Wow thanks! Up to this point I only knew there was inkjets and laser printers haha

was showing the wife what I was up to and she goes “wait, is that paper? I thought it was 3d-printed!!”

As the title suggests, I’m hoping for some printer suggestions. The printer I generally use is a Brother HL-3180CDW over LAN. This printer is fantastic at document printing/scanning, very fast and accurate printing. I’ve noticed that the ink seems to sit on top of the paper, though. I get soo...
