    Drop your weapon, you have 20 seconds to comply.

    Whoa! Great work so far Closet. The model looks huge. Have you scaled it up or is this the original size? Look forward to more updates. Steve

    Eagle Transporter Space 1999

    Wow A beautiful build loenf. I never really cared for the show, but the ship is a classic, and one of those one-of-a-kind designs. I hope to build this one day as well. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your excellent build. Steve

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    SR2 progress 2 The next couple pictures show an example of the skins that will be layered on top. A single layer of card doesn't show up well. It may need to be at least two layers to give it visual appeal, but with one layer you can still feel the detail :mrgreen: I've not yet glued the...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    SR2 Update Hey gang, I finally got some build time in over the past week. A little side note first - Anthony, I don't know who Mordin Solus is, but I assume its related to ME or ME2. Regardless, I'd like to get this thread focused back on the SR2 development and build. Perhaps you could...

    Paper-Replika? Paper-Replika released a floatplane version of the Skyhawk just recently. It looks great. If you can name some of the sites you were having troubles with we might be able to help there as well. Steve

    Model of The Month TWO!: Battlestar Galactica TOS Colonial Warrior Blaster 1:1

    If you search on instructables you'll find many that modify those audio greeting cards like http://www.instructables.com/id/Circuit-Bending-Audio-Greeting-Cards/ and http://www.instructables.com/id/wristwatch-turntables/step2/audio-greeting-card/. I wish I had more time to help with that...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    Yeah, I've got a 6 inch and a 12 inch and I use them both regularly. They're great. Happy birthday Mark. Glad you had fun. Balsa wood works just fine. I've read a number of posts/threads where builders have used it to good advantage. I use the card stuff because it's free. I've never tried...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    Test building continued Continuing from the previous post... I wasn't happy with the way the two sections lined up, and the second section didn't turn out quite right. If you look closely at the last picture in the previous post you'll see that the texture on the upper part of the second...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    Test Building Begins Greetings Normandy fans, A few days ago I finally started test building the SR2. I've scaled it up to have a finished length of about 24" overall. The attached images show the initial parts on page 1 - the nose of the ship. It looks pretty small, but this is only the...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    Hi Mark, Yeah, I should have had more reinforcements in that model, but it was a quick development by special request and there was a deadline, so it is what it is. With Cloud_Ratha doing a whole new, and much better one over at papermodelers I doubt I'll ever go back to mine and enhance it...

    Cool! Hey Zathros, I'm delighted to see there is still some life in this project. The wigs are a fascinating subject. It would be great to see this come to completion. Steve

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    Proof of progress And just so you don't have to take my word for it, here's proof of progress. The internal formers are done and the unfold is in progress. The first two pages are unfolded and just need lines touched up. The last two pages (formers) are also done. That just leaves three...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    Yup, that's the one. It's shaping up to be a fantastic model of the SR1 and the shape is definitely far more accurate than the one I unfolded. The SR2 model I'm working from was taken directly from the game so it will be as accurate as we can get. The texture may not look perfect but I'll leave...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    Nice shot F131. Everything on that shelf is in my build queue. I just wish I had a shelf like that to put them on.sign1 As for the SR2, I've started unfolding the main hull and correcting issues as I go. Hopefully I'll have it ready for test building this week. I'm experiencing a period of...

    SR-2 Normandy Mass Effect 2

    With the PDO file and Pepakura Designer you can easily scale it up, rearrange the parts and re-print it. This isn't too much work, although some pieces will end up being split over multiple pages. If there is interest in a bigger version all you had to do was ask. :mrgreen: Give me a size...
