PAPER BULLETS!!! PAPER BULLETS!!! The only thing better than having this model would be using it for target practice!!! :animated:

Nice build! Your 5 year old is going to love it!

Well... I was getting down to installing the mezzanine when I found out where the misalignment is. I was a builder for a while so I know that a miss measurement of a fraction of an inch will show up as a much bigger skew somewhere down the line. This one is pretty big. Glad it happened on the...

Yes, I think television producer counted on that in the 60's and 70's thumbsup

Still working on the stairway but in the meantime, I've installed the office walls. Honestly, the biggest difficulty with this effort has been the scale. The following photos show and American quarter dollar coin for scale ...and this is how big the hands of your humble builder are...

I appreciate that very much but it honestly doesn't hold up to very close scrutiny. I know that seems weird with all the photo's I've posted but the camera seems to wash out a lot of misalignments, paper damage and glue spotting. I'm certainly learning what not to do both with card modeling...

I also did a little work on the back walls of the mezzanine this weekend. There are panels from the floor to the big, slanted "picture" windows and then what looks like some kind of air conditioning above that. On the scratch build there will be window wells and ten slats for each compartment...

Hello to all! Hope your weekends were good. Mine was busy but I did manage to work on the stairway up to the mezzanine a bit... Nothing to show yet but as you can see by the attached photos; this thing is more like a post industrial sculpture. It's really just a collection of thin, steel...

Yes, according to the websites I've looked over there were several lighting shifts that were seen in the series; the most common was the florescent white light but there was also the amber-ish lighting you mentioned (maybe to simulate evening?), a deep red light (I'm assuming that was for...

Beautiful work, R-F! You guys are SO good at this! I'm always challenged to do as well.

My God! I'm pretty sure I got this for Christmas when I was a kid! I think Remco made it, in which case it's little brother was the first season laser pistol from Lost in Space!

One of my favorite card model subjects: PROPS! The original Galactica is from the "low rez" television era when even hero props weren't expected to bare any close scrutiny. Fuzzy TV definition hid a multitude of sins so prop makers could use colored tape and bubble wrap and it would still look...

Okay, I've managed to add the rest of the walls in the control room and I think I'm going to have to go over my templates with a microscope because there were some alignment problems. Not too concerned at this point but it's certainly inspiring to take my time on the scratch build...

I noticed that... I've been a member since 2014 and haven't run into unkind word on this forum. THAT is unprecedented in my experience and most impressive. The best thing IMHO is that you guys are really GOOD at what you do. All of you. I don't always have time to do this and have had to be...

Or the Hawks flying overhead! Can't wait to see your upgrade completed. REALLY good work you're doing there!

It seems to me I've seen some decent armatures done in paper, oh mighty administrator; I'll see if I can find them and post links here. Hope the next month flies by for you. This is the first real work I've been able to do in years and being able to share it here really keeps it going. This...

LOL! 1:18 would be somewhere around 3ft long! I think I'll leave that to you, McLaren. Should be pretty easy to rescale from 1:35. Just promise me you'll post a thread on building that monster!

Cool beans!!! There is a com tower in the command office... Gonna scale this down and add one to the study model! Great find, RF! Thanks for posting this!

These? I think I could actually come up with something in paper in a larger scale. Easy-peasy on the scratch build, and those will be lit with fiber optics! Some of the floor lamps... Well, I think I'd rather own those and use them in my model room!

YEAH! ...the furniture... That's going to be hard to do, even in 1/35 scale. It's all vintage 60's and 70's egg shapes and rounded corners; the most difficult things to accomplish with paper. The furniture that comes with the kit is way off and will have to be scratch built but there are...
