Hmm ... those are all battleships aren't they? Wells said the Thunder Child was a torpedo ram, a far smaller warship. Apparently few torpedo rams were ever built, the Royal Navy had only one, the Polyphemus (see photos upthread and below). However, it was supposed to have been quite...

It cuts whatever shapes you want. You use software to design a "cutting path" and download it to the cutter - basically the same way a printer or laser cutter works. If you want to see one in action, just go over to this thread and watch Kooklik using it to design his extraordinary card...

Wow, this is really on old thread ... ! In case anyone is still interested in this ... I think it's hard to say just what kind of ship the Thunder Child was from Wells' description. Although he identifies her as a "torpedo ram", his description of the ship sounds like something much...

Nicely dilapidated! :thumb:

I like what I see so far of the graphics for this model - it looks like there is some wear. So many card models appear to have simple "coloring book" style graphics. I'm looking forward to watching how this turns out. Keep up the great work! :)

There is a very nice free 1:250 fishing boat at Coastal Forces in Paper. Click on "Free models" on the side menu. Going from 1:250 to 1:87 is a bit of a jump, might run into some fit issues. Good luck! :-)

Check the dimensions and size of your JPGs. The maximum dimensions accepted are 800 x 600 pixels, maximum size is 195K. The limits for the various file formats are listed in the "Manage attachments" window. Hope this helps! :)

Sounds great! I'm curious, what kind of anti-piracy efforts are you engaging in?

Congratulations for diving into the world of weathering! Realistic weathering can be challenging because it's one of those many things where "mindsight" does not necessarily match eyesight. In other words, the way something looks and the way you think it looks might be very different. For...

Card is an excellent material for scratchbuilding, and well-suited to MRRing. :thumb: If you need any ideas/tips/advice about cardstock scratchbuilding, don't forget there is an entire forum related to it right here at Zealot! :) Including lots of railroad-related modeling! Regarding...

What a great build! Thanks for a nice cardstock dose of Xmas spirit! :)

Very cool model, and nicely built! Thanks for posting! This is a great example of something I feel is often overlooked in card modeling: the importance of display. A model sitting on a shelf or table just does not have the impact of a model put into some kind of visual context. Check...

Thank you, Mountain Man! Warm holiday wishes to you, and to all!

Hey, that's a great wheelbarrow! You're making a diorama set in China?

Yeah, no problem ... if you can get close enough to throw a grenade. Might be little difficult, as armored trains often had machine gun cars ... not to mention support troops ... :)

Thank you for that link - great photos of some stunning British steam layouts! And a Mallard! :) The Operation Overlord layout was just extraordinary!

Sorry, I didn't understand the rules clearly. Now I will wait patiently for a chance to use something I shot myself, but it might be a while ... they are all Chinese equipment ... so you guys will be in trouble if there's a number match. ;) Hey, there is some nice railroad-related card...

Ha! I'm amazed someone actually had a shot of one of those Baldwins! You guys were just having too much fun lobbing softballs to each other, so I tried to toss in a curveball - but it only lasted a couple hours! Guess I'll have to try harder next time. ;) I have to confess, I got that...

Baldwin DT6-6-2000, Trona Railway, #51 :)

Interesting and very plausible explanations, thank you! :)
