    A Space 1999 Eagle would be awesome. Hopefully he'll complete the derelict ship from Alien he teased us with.

    Banana PC jr. 6000 - Alpha Build

    Remember I said I have -999 experience points on 3d modeling? I think I'm up to +10. Full size model, double walled construction, a light kit for the monitor. Now all I have to do is design legs and feet, run it through Papakura and build it.

    Thanks UHU for finally allowing access to your library. You'll keep me busy for a loooong time. I might as well get stock in a paper, glue, and X-Acto companies.

    <shrug> Maybe because Opus is too round and you couldn't get enough fleas to stick to the paper for Bill.

    Model of Merit: Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    But does it have the right time more that twice a day? And does the warrantee protect the watch from crushing damage? Lol Seriously, great work.

    Accurately Building Steve Paper's 3ft Galactica, Part II

    The LH formers are installed in a new lower hull. I have no fracking clue if LH6 is installed correctly. Landing pod recesses cut and assembled. Location of the CH formers. Since this is the THIRD TIME I'M BUILDING THIS SECTION, I've found that the positioning of CH2, CH3, CH4 and CH5 is...

    How do I prevent printed image cracking during folding?

    PUBLIC DISCLAIMER: I did not want to start a flame war between the inkers and lasers. I personally believe that ink printers don't produce accurate images. The images are fuzzy because of the ink spreading. Besides, if I wanted to start a flame war I'd say, for example, "Han shot first!" But...

    How do I prevent printed image cracking during folding?

    I'm using a HP Color LaserJet CP4025 to print my patterns/parts. It gives a sharper image than my ink jet, the image doesn't smear when my gluey fingers touch it and I don't want to buy fresh ink jet tanks. ;) Can I use Testors Dullcote to prevent image cracks during folding?

    Accurately Building Steve Paper's 3ft Galactica, Part II

    I got a lot done this weekend. To make a long story short, I securely glued in the pod arms and started working on the upper hull. When test fitting the upper hull pieces I noticed that the arms are too low. There's no way to move the arms up. I'm starting the entire mid-ship section over...

    Accurately Building Steve Paper's 3ft Galactica, Part II

    Last weekend I was getting ready to write a post about the landing bay recesses when I noticed that the parts are mislabeled. I first noticed that something was wrong when the upper hull part UH-1L... ...didn't match the bulkheads CH-1 and CH-2 on the left side... ...but it did match the right...

    Accurately Building Steve Paper's 3ft Galactica, Part II

    Hello again. I needed a break from learning Swift so I did some fit testing. Since my last post I put finished the keel and installed LH-1 - LH-6. If you read the 1st post in this stream you'll remember that I obsessed about the spacing of the LH and CH formers. Well, I forgot the cardinal...
