So much information. Well chosen pics means less words. Excellent, the "show side" of the model is movie miniature quality. ;)

Man, I know about having rough years. I lost a lot of family last year, and won't even go into my health issues. I'm also happy you are back and continuing with this project. It's coming out great. The greebling is really making it pop! You could use some Popsical sticks to make the walls a...

May he have a speedy and full recovery. This thread is great, thank you Rhaven. I think many have built his Viper. It isn't overly complicated, and you end up with a great model you can look at or play with. :) :)

I don't think a sphere made ot of paper can be done any better than you have demonstrated. Your thread is so instructional, it should be an inspiration for other types of models that can benefit from this kind of detailing. Excellent, all the way around!! :)

Your Millennium Falcon is excellent! :)

I picked up a set of Scissors from "Micheal"s Craft Stores' that have various radii built into the set, small to large scissors. They too can be very useful. Excellent thread!! It's a "STICKY" now. :)

For a long time, I had a small drafting table for measurements, French Curve set, string, "L" shaped Square, compass, lots of pencils. I made some my finest ships hulls then. We're also here to help, so go for it. ;)

There are many edges in the figures, but there are many edges in the actual Anime' that the figures come from. Figures are the only model that I am of the opinion Pepakura does very well. With some extra work, I also cut the parts so the lines are gone, that way you just have color to color...

Awesome figurines, the painting is excellent!! :)

One way is to download models and study them. "Kitbashing", putting models of different types to make something different can give you a real feel. As far as software, that kind of depends on your general background. A compass, rule, and square, a set of French Curves can get you a very long...

I really like the movement of the Fox. I can imagine a Horse done similarly using 4 strips and having them going to the legs diagonally. :)

It can work, but only with water forming the parts after you glue them together. This means you must use a Pigment based Inkjet printer, and waterproof glue. :)

No instructions, but if you know the model, or look at enough images, you should be able to figure it out. :)

Balsa Wood framed Paper Airplanes are covered with tissue paper (a special kind) and when they are glued to the Balsa Wood frame of the aircraft and wings, they are pulled a tight as possible without tearing the tissue. Once dried, the tissue is "doped" ( Nitrocellulose Lacquer) which is a...

WTF! I have never seen such devotion. Will this be a sphere when you're done? Won't you need a zoning permit to keep something like that in your yard? Incredible!!!

I would use clear spray paint, spray the paint into a small paper cup, then stick your brush into the little that accumulates at the bottom of the cup. Don't add or thin it out, just paint the target surface, and you should be all set. As far as the Viper model, you could always print the...

Great link!! That's a really great way to make a small boat. I bet it really zips along with that motor, as it's very light. That plastic is very repairable, you just carry a square piece of the blue plastic, and the type glue for it, I forget which one, but it bonds it seconds. I would have...

I've seen too much of your work, you are brilliant! :) Ich habe zu viel von Ihrer Arbeit gesehen, Sie sind brillant! :)

You could just paint them with clear paint. You would get the same protection. :)
