Your situation totally sucks eggs and you have my complete sympathy. Extreme situations always have a big effect on us, but we do have the ability to decide whether that effect will be to the negative or use it as a reason to make some positive changes in our lives. I suggest focusing the...

Wow! Cool model and cool launch, PemTech. I'm totally impressed. I've not done model rocketry in 40 years or so, but it certainly looks like the Friede makes a good launcher. I'm guessing that's not plane old cardstock covering those flame resisting fins. I hope it made it to Venus OK and landed...

My rough judgement from looking at the PDFs would be that this model will come out 7-8 inches diameter. When I build it I'll probably double that size since I've always envisioned a model of it in the 14-18 inch range. I've studied Space Station V at length and I can safely say scale is a...

Oops! My brain was in the wrong universe for a minute. That link is for the Lost in Space robot. Robbie did appear on LIP, of course, but that's not what you want. Sorry.

You need look no further than the good old Lower Hudson Valley Giftshop site here: http://jleslie48.com/gallery_models_scifi.html I've got a few other Lost in Space models listed at my link site, too (link below).

Haereticus, you must have missed this thread started by designer Martin Saenger. He just posted his version on his great Paper Aviation site. His actually shows the station finished as it was never seen in 2001. I don't recall from the film, but Martin says it was mentioned as finished in the...

I downloaded this one earlier today after finding it on my RSS reader (I watch everybody!). This looks very cool and I think you did a great job, Martin. In fact I want to make it the featured new model on the next Paper Hollywood update. I actually started work on a card design for Space...

This is an interesting thought. A4 does seem to be a bit hard to find. I don't find it on the Staples website, but perhaps you could ask in the store if they could order it. I know you can get A4 in the states, though. We used to print on it now and then when I worked at an oil company's...

To be honest, I didn't have a ship in mind, but I just found this one via Mauther's excellent blog: http://papermau.blogspot.com/2012/01/fast-cargo-ship-papermodel-by-kakibogen.html Wade

I ran the heck out of little 6P running mailroom paper back in then '90s and it never flinched. I mean hundreds of pages per day, 5 days/week. Right now I've got the bigger Laserjet 5 as the household LAN printer. The great thing about these oldies is they were made to last and you can pick up...

I'm not talking first hand, but I believe HP printers is a separate division that isn't going to be affected by HP's ups and downs about their PC business. Their plans seem to change every time I hear news about it, I believe the printer biz is as yet unaffected. While I gave up on their...

I would be very interested in hearing what printers others here have liked and disliked for model printing. I've done a good job with my ancient Canon i850, but I'm really tired of dealing with it's head clogging issues. I know photographers seem to prefer Epsons for photo printing, so I've been...

Awesome build so far, Ruben. This is one of the the most detailed card model downloads I've seen on the web. The 308 pages are a bit intimidating until you realize the file includes several skin versions. I like that the designer even includes suggestions about printing and enlarging/reducing...

Wow. Thats. Big. It certainly requires a lot of what the real ISS does: space. But if you've got it, why not. I'm in awe of your patience and skill.

I love it when I see a card model based on a movie you wouldn't have thought of building a model from. This one looks great. I'm pretty sure I've seen a Vespa model before, but I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near this detailed. I like the color, too. It's so '50s. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out...

Majorly cool, Inky. I've wanted to build a container ship for awhile, now I do one at the dock. Thanks a lot!

I agree. While Flickr serves as something of a photo social networking site, Photobucket is pretty much designed for hosting pics for posting on forums and such. I put all my pics for forum-posts and eBay pages there.

Yea, my first was Borg Cube-- that has to be the absolutely the easiest possible model. Then I tried a couple of those simple little cars with 2D wheels. After that I moved to the Canon architecture series, which are great models with good directions. In fact, go to Canon Creative Park if you...

Well, Slickaa, if you do a screen capture while your Reader image is up, the image you captured will be the exact size of your screen resolution. However, a captured image is a bitmap, which cannot be enlarged without loss of detail. One advantage of having many models in the PDF (Adobe Reader)...

I'll triple that thanks. Minding a forum takes a lot of time and you do a very good job here. Thanks and have a great 2012.
