Sketchup isn't really that good for making paper models, in my honest opinion. Can you show some screenshots of the model from sketchup, one with no edge selected and one with the faulty edge selected? It may not close properly, because Sketchup is just that, a 3d sketch program.

Those red edges are because there are 3 or more edges there. Like one long edge and 2 shorter ones. Pepakura can't connect those, because it has been programmed that way. You can add flaps to those edges though, with the edit flaps tool and right-clicking an edge. It is best to avoid creating...

You can lock the pdo without a password. It's under the Files - Export menu.

Do the Carryall! a Diorama of one hotdropping a Harvester must be sweet.

Try looking at Creative Commons?

This keeps getting better and better!

If you are using Pepakura, either use textures with thicker lines, or set thicker lines in the paper and print menu.

Man, sweet smurfing! Not boring at all! Where's Gargamel and Azrael and their home/tower?

If i recall, there IS a thopter model, not sure though. And the Harvester looks nice!

That looks really nice! One tip for your next project(s), get some felt tip pens in as much colors as possible and do what Ninjatoes explains in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhBuuEVSUcw It may look like more work, but it will make your model look even better!

you could try making clear plastic boxes? And spraycoating a model with matt or gloss varnish makes models sturdier and easier to clean.

The original 3d model can possibly be used for making a new model, like a 3d blueprint. If you do like spaceships in general, the Homeworld series are probably a good place to start. Erick made some very nice tutorials for extracting and editing them: http://www.ericksmodels.com/paper/step0.html

Maybe it got hidden by some of the larger pieces? If you press ctrl+k you can check the whole object list. Selecting all the toe objects in it should highlight them all in the development window.

Try simplifying the model some more, or even more rigorous, remaking the model, but this time think about how you want to unfold it and modeling it according to that. As for the Eve Online models, you might want to try to get your hands on the older models, as the new ones have a lot more...

Etsutan has several small scale predreads and this as well: ITSUKUSHIMA

It is the Canon Chipmunk

You have double the faces because 3dmax renders backfaces, which are counted as separate faces in Pepakura. I do think that there is an option to turn those off in Max though.
