I concur. Plus, keep in mind that this model (when it is finally available) will be the first-ever model of this vehicle. So the fact that you've tackled something that nobody else has tried -- and in card, no less -- says something about your skill and determination. And the end result is...

Clean builds and very nice work! That's a great idea about the stands, too. Thanks for sharing the photos.

I thought the P in IPMS stood for Paper.... Seriously, although I'm late to this thread and you can count the ship models I've build on two fingers, I appreciate Rusty's warm embrace of card modelers. I wish the rest of styrene-addicted folks in the modeling world were as open-minded as he is...

That's not a dumb question and yeah, I'm slapping myself upside the head wondering, "Gee, why didn't I think of that?" So maybe I'll just head down there and buy paper instead....

I tried virtually ever setting I could cajole out of the printer last night and nothing seemed to get it to print out correctly. So I've downloaded the files to a thumb drive and tomorrow I'll head to my local FedEx/Kinko's to print it out on legal-sized paper; hopefully that will do the trick...

Please ignore the cracking sound of my jaw hitting the floor. Impressive work, and thanks for sharing the photos.

Boy, you got me. I dunno about all that computer stuff. I did, however, convert the thing to a .pdf and then told the printer to scale it to A4 paper, and it caught the whole thing. However, the 1 cm calibration line is just a hair over 9 mm long, and the 1 inch calibration mark is 29/32nds of...

Well, nothing I've done seems to work right. I've tried setting the printer to A4, I've tried scaling it to fit the paper that's in there (8.5x11) and on and on but it never comes out correctly, and in fact, it cuts off some of the bottom of the pages. So I think I'll just have to go to a...

I've told the printer not to shrink the thing, and I've also told it to print it out as if it were on A4 paper, but I get the same results every time. I'm wondering if it just might be that the calibration marks themselves are off a hair (or maybe my ruler?) or if it's just some strangeness...

I was contemplating having a go at U-Don's Los Angeles-class submarine and printed out a page just to see if the scale calibration thing was right, and I've got a problem. Or maybe I don't. Every time I print it out -- no matter what settings I use -- the 1 cm calibration mark measures out to...

Excellent build-up! Thanks for sharing the photos.

Yes! Feel free to measure the heck out of the thing. I'm glad you're able to do it. (And, frankly, I'd forgotten who I'd sold the thing to, 'cause it was a long time ago....) I'm glad you're coming to the rescue, Scott....

Alas, I don't have any of the measurements and since I sold the model a few months ago, I don't have it handy to measure. I "eyeballed" everything, going from photos of the flotation collar I could find in various books in my collection and on various websites. The collar is basically a "U"...

If I offered that, I don't know why I did. I scracthbuilt the flotation collar by trial-and-error and there was no computer designing involved. The only thing I did on the computer was I used Word to replicate the small writing that is on the forward section of the collar, then I printed it out...

Don't get too excited. The "Project Apollo" page on the Delta 7 Studios' website has remained unchanged for for literally four or five years. I don't know what the hold-up is (and heaven knows I've never designed a model for public consumption) but that page has been "under development" for a...

Thanks for the kind words. Delta 7 Studios offers a CD of the Project Mercury capsules, but I don't know if any of the models includes an interior. And the Project Gemini CD has a ton of great stuff on it. I hate to sound like a commercial for them, but they do offer some great models. On...

The Delta 7 Studios models are top-of-the-line -- well-designed, easy to build and they lend themselves to super-detailing if you want to go that route. Here are a couple of photos of my build-up of Gemini VII. It includes some added detail on the nose, as well as added 3D detail on the...

I'll bump this back up and pose the question again -- is there any way to get this resized at 83 percent so it would be in 1/144th scale? Other than taking it to a copying shop?

It wound up opening on my home computers just fine. Beautiful model. I'm impressed. I'm wondering (and I hope I didn't miss this somewhere) if there is anything special I need to set the printer on to print it out properly on plain ol' U.S.-sized paper. And it strikes me -- if the thing is...

When I try to open the files of the model, I get a message telling me that the file is too large to open. And when I try to print out the instructions, it gives my printer a "transmission error" message. Is there some secret I need to know? Otherwise, thanks for doing the model. This was...
