    40K Land Speeder Storm

    Wait, I see the problem. The model only comes with 6 figurines? hehe. I love GW, really I do. They are two units: 5 man Scouts and a Special Landspeeder. Do the 5th ed rules say anything about firepower on the Landspeeder while carrying troopers and without? Technically I see your point. It is...

    USS Sulaco / Aliens

    Are you printing on A4 or Letter? GIMP will open and allow you to edit pdfs (it won't save them, although you can save as a variety of other formats). Barring that you may need to save the pdf as an image file and edit that. The free version of Acrobat Reader won't do that for you, but several...

    40K Land Speeder Storm

    I'm only familiar with 4th ed. but I'm pretty certain that Marine Scouts cannot be 'combined' as a unit with a Landspeeder, so I would argue not in game. In an RPG Game of 40K, for certain that is feasible, but in the specifics of a 40k points battle, no. I'm sure you might be able to come up...

    Ah! I should have recognized the stand. It's that beauty of a ship that brought me here initially. Thank you,

    Yeah the textures/models on the protagonist are not likely to support such a large scale. Are all of those models in the shots your builds? That looks like the Moldy Crow available here. I've not yet had the time to put that beaut together myself.

    Incom T-47 Snowspeeder - 1:20 - www.paper-replika.com

    That build looks brilliant mate! The pictures in the snow really make the model seem lifelike. I made one just after it came out, although I scaled it down to 1:50 first. As a point of reference, 1:20 is the same scale as the 3.5" figurines, although you'd have to chop the legs off at the knee...

    USS SULACO & PATNA by Tomys / Jan Rükr / 1:430

    You are very, very brave.... :mrgreen: With a laser printer Jan's textures will pop in all of their gorgeous glory. Those will look incredible once done, of that I am certain. Tirick

    Model Of The Week: Imperial Guard Armour Builds

    I still have not found magnets to suit. Have to hit some more stores after the holidays. In the meanwhile I'm working on the torso and legs of the model. The torso is now complete, although building six at a time was a bit arduous. I think I clocked somewhere around 12 hours on the lot, so maybe...

    Model Of The Week: Imperial Guard Armour Builds

    After building the open cab, I realized I had sufficient parts to build three armored Sentinels cabs as well. Once I completed detailing the cab, mostly just using the detail provided (built up of course), I build the extra cabs and printed leg and weapon components to match. I actually...

    warhammer Land Rider

    Because of pepakura's limitation I usually break each part down into separate textures. I usually gauge about 100-150 dpcm on a print (250-400 dpi), and setup the textures accordingly, keeping the resolution on a 1:1 (or even higher, often I get 2:1 or 3:1) pixels:dots. This keeps nice crisp...

    Model Of The Week: Imperial Guard Armour Builds

    Ugh... super long update delay. Started as a paint shortage and slipped into a full-fledged distraction. Nevertheless, the Chimeras are now painted. With the onset of winter it may be a while before they are coated, and so I might yet add an insignia as well (a silhouette of a raven in...

    17th Century Naval Cannon

    Emplacement rough-ins are now built. I have an upper deck section, but for display I may use a clear acetate panel. Aside from some minor adjustments to the door, I'm nearly done. All of the components are modeled and printed, I hope to build those over the next few days...

    There are no words to describe how awesome that looks! Brilliant build and re-engineering of Jan's excellent work!

    ALIENS Dropship

    A bit late for it now, mate, but the 1:24 APC scales down quite nicely to 1:75 (1:72 should be easy). I was trying to scale it to 1:50 years ago and bolloxed up the measurements (didn't figure it out until I built the main box). It is a LOT more detailed than the 1:148 you are using. I can snap...

    Hello from Kingston, Ontario

    Hello, and welcome! Not much into trains myself (although as my boy gets older, I may if his interest in the topic stays). Can't resist saying hello to a fellow Canuck though. I'm just 'down the road' from you (read, 300 km down the 401), although my wife has family in Brockville. Have to say...

    your fav movie OF ALL TIME

    Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, or maybe Akira. Really hard to pick 'favorite of all time', there are so many to choose from.

    17th Century Naval Cannon

    I'm glad I could be an inspiration. Were I tackling that I would likely start with a 12-sided tapered cylinder, easy enough in a 3d modeling program (I use Blender). I have some texture tweaking to do (I'm not happy with the carriage), but all of the modeling is now complete. I've attached...

    ALIENS Dropship

    Hate to ask... I cannot find any canon dropship on Jan's site other than at 1:148 scale (in the Hadley's Hope area). I don't speak Czech, could you post a direct link to the download page? I've been looking to scale a dropship to match my 1:48 APC (Jan's rescaled) and 1:72 would be very sweet...

    Where did you find this model mate? Is this Jan's model?
