And finally… the last work on the Lander! First, the parts for the thrusters are cut out, scored, and folded: They are then glued together. I had a few issues with the fitting of the black indentation into the shell of the thruster, but managed to make it fit. The thrusters are then...

Second to last bit of work on the ENTIRE PROJECT! First, the parts are cut out and folded: Next, I glue them together, then, by repeating the process from step three of the above post, I duplicate the already made engine: The engines are then attached to the ship: Up next: building...

More progress: The front pods (possibly secondary engines?) are done. I begin by cutting out the part with a LOT of tabs: Next, I fold on all of the lines except for some of the thin grey ones: The part is then assembled: Next, you'll need: A dragon's right big toenail, the blood of a...

Next, I cut out the final piece of the ship's main hull: I begin by attaching it to the rear of the central piece of the bottom: Next, I attached it to the top piece: Finally, the sides were closed: Aaaaaand done:

Work continues with the assembly of the second lander's main hull. To begin, I seal the front of the hull. I would strongly advise scoring these areas, as the folds here are rather complex: Next, I cut out and install the divider/ support piece between the two sections of the hull. I would...

The second Ranger is finished: To begin with, I attach the tabs to the bottom of the hull and cut out the top pieces. Nothing special is done here: Next, I cut out tabs from a scrap piece of paper to place in the rear half of the hull: I then attach the upper halves of the hull to the...

Building the Ranger's wing: To begin with, I double up some of the areas of the wing. This is to prevent it from warping when glued to the main hull of the ship. I then cut out the shape with the tabs on the bottom layer, which will create something like a butt-joint. Next, I cut out 1 set...

there are more models than just those 3:

Work begins on the final stages of the model: the Lander and the Ranger. As these were the trickiest bits of the model for me, I'm gonna go SUPER detailed on my build pics/ descriptions so that others who choose to build this model in the future may use them as a ref. To begin with, all parts...

Central docking hub completed. Up next, I need to attach it to the rest of the ship and complete the other Lander and Ranger.

Next bit of progress: work begins on the central docking hub:

I realized that after doing two, but decided to do the other two the same way, as nobody is really likely to notice unless they have eyes as clean as yours

Interstellar earned a spectacular 5 academy award nominations this morning! I personally thought it deserved a nom for best picture as well, but I'm completely perplexed as to how it didn't get nominated for best cinematography, seeing as how it was considered by many a frontrunner to win that...

I had the same issue with mine, and, despite considerable reinforcement in the mentioned areas, he still took a nosedive off the table :(

FINALLY, the second-to-last of the Docking Port connectors is done. One more and then I never ever ever have to make any more of those again (I hope). Dr. Mann, this is Cooper. Do not attempt to open the airlock. I repeat, do not attempt to open the airlock:

If we're talking about robots UHU should design, I'd LOVE to see this one:

I had a lot of trouble attaching the U-shaped "wing to the body. I ended up building the "wing" out of two layers of paper to provide more rigidity. I then printed an extra copy of the front half of the ranger and cut out the gray triangles that show the position of the "wing". I left tabs on...

MORE progress: The first of the two Rangers! This was my 3RD TRY at attempting to build this thing, but I'm finally satisfied with the result: Dr Mann, do not attempt docking. I repeat, do not attempt docking: Up next, I'll be doing the final two Docking Hub connector bits.

That is SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to see the AT-ATs
