CBS is reviving the Star Trek franchise behind a paywall not for the benefit of mankind, but as a business strategy. From that standpoint it's probably fairly smart, if not very imaginative. CBS is moving into the online subscription market dominated by Netflix and Hulu. They own Star Trek and a...

Fantastic finds, guys! It saddened me greatly when my link to that great model disappeared. Thanks to your brilliant sleuthing, Revell-Fan, I'll be putting it back on my Paper Hollywood page.

Nice one. Yes, since he's Ant-man the scale might be more like 600/1 than 1/6.

I'll add to the praise as great, awesome and supercool. This is one I can't wait to build. Ah, where is William Hopper when you need him?

Wow! That is cool. You did a great job on it. Thanks for the post. This reminds me that there was that later Godzilla film in which they built a Godzilla robot over the skeleton of the Godzilla from the original film (Mechagodzilla?). But as I recalled and observed later, the original Godzilla's...

Agreed, rdmarine, and welcome to the Zealot forum, BTW. I appreciate being reminded of this amazing work. I don't think I've seen any model of the Mil-Fac that has that level of detail-- possibly including the filming model. I love to see these marvelous paper scratch models people do. It really...

Yes, I'd imagine they wouldn't have used a clunky old steam engine for the film shoot in 1951 when more reliable power was available. BTW, that would be Katherine Hepburn rather than Audrey. Hollywood has always and will always knock out remakes as long they seem to have the potential for...

What an interesting exercise for The Man to do this time. I never realized that you'd have to do a chop job on your Han and Chewie figures to fit the into the cockpit. Film designers need to stop cheating and always make things fit. I doubt if he'll get around to the rest of Falcon at that...

As usual, I'm in awe of your imagination and ingenuity, Cylon Girl. That's the best use of a cake dish I've seen since Vera's diner closed.

As I vaguely recall from the show, the premise of this craft was that it took off and landed slowly, thus avoiding issues like extreme heat during reentry. Of course, that creates the need for vast amounts of energy to leave the atmosphere and slow landing, but, hey, it's science fiction. If...

Good find, John. I had this model on my Paper Hollywood list for a long time, but removed it when his site went down. I'll restore it with this direct link. I'm currently in the process of doing some long-overdue updating of PH and moving it's hosting, anyway.

This one's about as impressive as they come. I'm happy to devote 642 MB of hard drive space to it. Thanks guy!

I'm going to second Rhaven's Wow! I'll have to admit I wasn't as impressed with this design from the graphics alone, but seeing his build up makes me want one now. It's going to take a really big moth cocoon, though.

Doc had a submarine, too. A fellow named Fred on the nautilussubmarine.com forum recently built an interpretation of it using a his own 3D design and printed it with Shapeways. I've seen a couple of versions of the sub in illustrations, a short and stubby one and a longer sleek one. Here's a...

Great idea for an automata and a nice job. It might be a tad small to take to a full sized ball game, but you might set them alongside a foosball table. :)

Yes, I don't really see how something like that would have produced anything presentable at all. Every time I try to do anything with closed cell foam it seems to crumble to pieces. I can't imagine anybody cutting out that firetruck ladder where it would look like anything. I suspect the Hasbro...

Why melt perfectly good Styrofoam when you just build your models out it the way it is? That was Hasbro's idea with this model kit series back in the '60s (I think). Called their "Magi-Foam Craft Kits", you were supposed to be able to build something that looked like a fire engine from a few...

Very nice work, X-man. I've always kind of wanted to build one of those myself. You did a great job on the rocks, too. I thought they were real until I saw the prepainted shots.

The financial and fabricative advantages of paper modeling makes if my first choice when considering a subject. I would consider myself a multi-medium miniaturist, though. Paper/card is great for subjects with few complex curves like architecture and rockets, but I prefer plastic or resin for...

Maybe if he was really fast and moving upward he'd catch a little cool wind, but that's a hot ride at any rate. I love your use of found materials like wire, resistors and screw anchors. Keep up the good work, C-Girl.
