That's extremely well done, impressive. I don't know if it's of any assistance to you, but on the off-chance that you might be looking to tweak what you have, the following may be of assistance. There's another one from that anime that I've long wanted a model of which has...

At the risk of getting myself slapped around for being a pedant. You're right Zathros it is greeble. A gribble is a worm or more accurately, any one of 56 species of a marine isopod. A greeble (also nurnie) is extra detailing. So, ordinarily detailing added to a model like this would be...

You're welcome.

There's two tank museums close to where I live. One on my rock which has several tanks that are rolling stock (displays through the summer) and various other sundry pieces of equipment. The other one is at Bovington again with rolling stock, displays and all sorts of other things. Both allow...

The exteel site has shut down, but the mecha is still available from Destro2K at Deviant Art. Here Hope that helps. Nice build so far.

Aye, it is a bit of a challenge and not just for new modellers, the instructions aren't precisely clear either, so some of it is rather trial and error to figure out how it should be formed and how it fits together. Mostly logical, but I found for some things I needed more than two hands. In...

Not a chromehound, but I intend building the Tarakia next. I forgot I'd downloaded this beastie, it's the Front Mission mech "Zephyr" which was a freebie release from Square Enix and is still available for download. This was more of a challenge than I expected, not just because there are...

Yes, the Cameo is very similar to the Cricut, without comparing the two I couldn't really say what the differences are except price. Advantages of tempering a blade is that the edge lasts longer, however, inexperienced people will likely make the metal more brittle as a result, rather than...

My mother doesn't understand my hobbies. She thinks the end products are nice, but just doesn't get why I spend weeks threading pullies, sewing sails and generally months building a model. All that time... for what? Then I suppose it's understandable, she worked in manual labour for her whole...

Awwww, I'd love a Cameo, but the wife does that eye-rolling thing that women seem to have as an innate skill. You know, the one where the eyes roll all the way into the back of the head and there's the accompanying tut tut noise which indicates that one is asking for something waaaaaaay not likely.

Initially I couldn't have answered the question posited here, but having hunted around the web I think I can categorically state that the reason I got into and make card models is simple. I absolutely cannot get the majority of the models I've collected anywhere. This is partly because I live in...

@Millenniumfalsehood Thanks. I was quite peeved myself when I followed links to the site only to find it's up for sale and occupied by a place-holder. If it wasn't for my son following in my pack-rat habits I wouldn't have been so fortunate. @blaar Cheers, really it looks daunting to...

I'm not a lawyer so the following is in my opinion and interpretation of copyright. However, the safest answer is "no." The creator/owner of the original file is also the copyright holder. This means they have the right to decide how, where and when it is "copied." This generally means that...

I re-edge my blades when working with wood as it's somewhat more forgiving than card (in my opinion anyway). I bought a small scale modellers mini bench grinder to do this, which comes in handy for various other tasks as well - such as edging metal, sharpening the wife's scissors etc. :) For...

Thanks, it is a pretty cool mech. Unfortunately the game wasn't that good - aside from being able to custom build mechs to suit missions. The mechs were nice though. It's a shame that they're no longer generally available, and that there weren't more. No matter, it's not like there's a...

Thank you for the kind words.

Completed model. I had to add extra pieces to the interior of the primary hill to support the upper components which are surprisingly heavy considering it's "just card." I also added a second anti-material rifle to the left side of the model to balance it out. I probably should have added...

Unfortunately I got so involved putting the legs together I forgot to take photos of the process. Apologies for that. Anyway, legs test fit.

Fourth section. Completed primary hull and upper component test fit.

Third section. Right side guns, armour shields and primary hull.
