    building my own snowspeeder

    Man, you must have bought the wrong brush. I've got an Iwata Revolution that I've used for six years and all you need to do is hook it up to a compressor, pour some paint in the cup, and start painting. Simple, simple, simple. Iwata is probably one of the best types of brushes you can get...

    1:5000 Star Wars Ships

    Just as long as you use the same type of paper in the settings, it should be exactly the right length. Man, I LOVE that dreadnaught! :D :thumb:

    two new models from my fleet yards

    You have a real knack for doing complex, curvy ships D-Whale! :D That Vulcan Cruiser looks fantastic!

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    Thanks! :D I prefer giving them away. It makes me happy to give models to people. :)

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    Well looky here, I finished another one! :D This is the Modular Conveyor. I actually included three turbolaser turrets in this model, but as you can see it looks fine without them. I'll probably build them later, but I wanted to get you guys some pics of it. The model will be in the Downloads...

    1:5000 Star Wars Ships

    I'm just sitting here, in awe, at the fact that your Falcon not only has the sensor rectenna, but the docking rings and even the frigging exhaust vents on the engine deck as 3D features!! :o Dude, you're a true master of the world of the tiny. I can't wait to see what you do with my...

    78 Cylon Centurion (adaptation) Build

    Personally, I'd just as soon build it out of plain paper, putty and smooth it, then paint it with a high-gloss black paint (like Tamiya) and then finish it off with Alclad II Chrome shot through a cheap airbrush. It can be carefully brush-painted, but that's too tedious for me. But it does...

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    Lol, depends on the day. ;) It helps immensely that I don't play video games that often, nor do I waste much time with television other than keeping it on for background noise during modeling and other hobbies. I am currently working on the Modular Conveyor model. I'm actually building it...

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    Hey dude! Great to see you in this neck of the woods! :mrgreen: I gotta stress that the model and textures are not mine; I got them from the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade site and just unfolded them into scale models for the XWM game. But I'm glad you like my work. :) That YT-1300 was definitely...

    Fantastic work! :D :thumb:

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    It wasn't a requirement for the main hull, but I did it anyway because, as a miniature, it would be handled quite a bit and I didn't want to have to stop and pop out a panel that had sunken in because I grabbed it in the wrong spot. You will need to seriously reinforce the connections between...

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    I decided to take a break from doing the paper model development and start actually building one of these suckers, so here's my finished BFF-1 Bulk Freighter: Here it is compared to some of the X-Wing Miniatures: And here's a pic of the base that I created for it. I'll be using...

    Halo Spartan WIP

    No reason you can't simply go in from the inside, rout out a hole for the plate, then epoxy it in place. Nobody will see it and rare-earth magnets will be strong enough to be attracted to it even if they are separated by a good centimeter.

    Halo Spartan WIP

    I wouldn't worry about magnets like that doing any real damage to a phone. Solid-state devices like that are almost immune to magnetic fields because they work using floating gate transistors, not magnetic charges. It's only when the fields are in flux at a sufficiently high rate of change that...

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    The problem is in you guys' browsers. I'm able to see them just fine, and this is on a computer at work where gaming sites are banned. I'll have to work on that ATR. I also want to do the more detailed version of the Delta-class DX9 Stormtrooper Transport. It was an insanely common little...

    USS Voyager

    There are two ways you can do it. First, you can use geometry and formulas that create squares, spheres, trapezoids, etc. to create the templates, or you can create them from computer models. I prefer the latter, as it allows me to make my favorite characters and starships from video games into...

    Class 6 - Escape Pod

    Nice work! :D That model is nowhere near the same shape as a Class-6 escape pod. It's too long, the details are not correct, and it has no window on the top hatch. :wink: Really, you did a great job with this little project. I like the addition of the missing attitude jets.

    Large Star Wars Freighters (for the XW Miniatures Game)

    I noticed that, too. I'll probably do that one as soon as I do the Modular Conveyor and some more cargo containers. :)
