Excellent Wotjee, your build looks excellent, and even the "simple" clear cockpit looks better than anything I've managed. I don't have the resources to make vaccu-formed canopies anyway, so I appreciate you including the template style. Great work. I'm looking forward to the release of this...

Cool! Hey Scott, delighted to see that you're working on this again. I made a couple of your 1/700 OSL ships a couple years back and would love to have a larger great lakes ship like this. Looking forward to more developments, Steve

Sweet. I must admit I'm surprised no one else has finished one so far. At the rate I progress most models get done by someone else before I even get started. Since I started development on the Normandy several models on my to-do list have been started and finished, including the Valley Forge...

Progress I've been making good progress with the unfolding. A few minor adjustments to make yet, but it's starting to come together now. In the screen cap below the first row is the left wing and engines unfolded and arranged. The rest is the right wing and engines waiting their turn. When...

Thanks Thyrrus. Which SR1 are you planning on building? Mine is from a mesh that someone else made and it's not very accurate. There's another one here - http://daishi.atw.hu/ that I believe was done from a game rip so it's as accurate as you can get, but I've never seen a build thread, or any...

Thanks Thanks guys. It turns out that the legs actually aren't that big of a deal. Even unpainted they blend in pretty well as the eye tends to take in the whole bird, or gets drawn to the feet and toes as interesting details. The legs kind of get lost in the middle. I had originally...

I finished this build a few weeks ago and am finally getting around to posting some pictures. The model was designed by Johann Scherft and is available as a free download at origami-shop.com along with another of Johann's earlier models, the Crested Tit (really, that's what's called). Johann's...

Congratulations A display to be proud of Padre. Congratulations. Some day I hope to have enough good models to do something similar myself. I can see from your display that you have a wide range of subjects that interest you, as do I. I'm particularly inspired by the ships I see in your...

Oops Guess I was a little brain-dead myself as I forgot to actually test the link and it was broken. It's fixed now. Sorry about that, and thanks for pointing it out. Steve PS - glad you like the site. I'm rather proud of it.

Hey gang. The final version of the BSG 75 emblem is now available on my web site. I've updated the gold color as posted above and published a new PDF. The link to the beta version above is now broken (I can't edit it now). Regards, Steve

Gotta have it I've gotta have one of those in my ship. Please send me the mesh and textures. And that frigate you sent me looks great by the way. I'm still working on the unfold and refining the mesh. I've found a number of texture problems, and some intersections I missed. The shape of...

Really excellent looking builds swampfoxx. I just added that B299 to my list of kits to build. The B24 was already on it :) I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Steve

That would be fantastic. I've often thought about making one out of wood (I don't really have the tools for that kind of metal working) and using some of the great spray paints you can find these days. Many even spray on with a texture. It's the lettering that gives me pause for thought. I...

Thoughts? Hi gang. I've been fiddling with textures a bit and have come up with some I like better. Below is a render of the original and the new. What do you think? With a couple coats of clear coat it should look excellent, and if anyone wants to be really fancy they could print it on...

Small update And by the way... I'm busily working on unfolding the wings and engines and making adjustments to the model to make the unfolding/building smoother. The shapes of the wing and major engine pieces make the unfold kind of screwy - small cuts and fold needed in awkward places and...

Well, in the game maybe, but out here my Normandy can carry whatever I want it to. :mrgreen: Of course, a couple of fighters as escorts, and a shuttle or Mako in the bay works too. Steve

Thanks for that image RB - It's quite different that any of the ones I've seen so far, but there's some good elements in there that might help me a lot. Steve

Cool! Thanks RF. I'll see if it can be useful. As for using metallic paper etc I was thinking the same things. I would like to come up with better textures for the model just to make it a little better. For myself I've been thinking of spray painting, hand coloring with metallic markers (if...

Hey, I had forgotten about that one! Hmmmmmm. I may have to do a small scale one to go with the SR2. We need something to put in the landinig bay. :mrgreen:

Ah! That clears it up. Thank you. I was thinking Cerberus was the name of a ship and that there were two different ships. The finished model will be about 24 inches in total length, which given the sizes provided ini a recent post makes it that always desirable scale of 1:354. If people...
