A friend of mine recently introduced me to Gundam modeling and with his permission I built up and weathered his Master Grade model of the RX-93 Nu Gundam. Now I'd like to build my own. However, I'm not in a financial position to do that, and I've got a 1:350 TOS Enterprise that needs a...

Thanks for completing this model, Jan! I've been holding off on building it because I wanted to see the rest of it (specifically the engine). Now that it's finally done I'll have to start working on it. :thumb:

Well this is just great . . . I lost all my paper model files. Again. I was able to recover 95% of them because they were backed up (I learned from the last time), but among the files that were lost were the models of the Imperial ships I was working on. I neglected to back them up as well...

I'm quite impressed with this build so far! It's very clean and well done. :D In fact, I think I'll build my own model of S1. I've never seen the show (still waiting for a DVD set), but I always had a dream when I was a kid of going to the junk yard and building my own rocket out of scrap...

True, but sci-fi is more of an art form nowadays than true science fiction, so a little leeway for "cool-factor" I think is warranted in this case.

Whew, I'm glad they decided against doing a clear-plastic helmet like they said they would. RoboCop's appeal is how he lost his humanity and had to fight to get it back, and showing any sort of humanity, like his face, would destroy that. Normally reboots don't bother me too much, but that...

Thanks, man! :thumb:

It's amazing how junk can be transformed into art like this. Excellent work! The diorama is impressive as well. Where did you find a paper model of Han in Carbonite, though?

That's a hard lesson to learn, my friend. Did you have current-limiting resistors on the LEDs? That would have prevented this from happening. By the way, I had a similar experience with my X-wing, and in front of the hobby shop owner, no less. I tried to demonstrate the engine lights of...

This is making me want to build one of these! Great work so far, Skoda! I think we ought to sticky this thread as another "inspirational" thread, like Ekuth's Galactica.

Freaking awesome!! :eek: :thumb:

Very nice job on the express elevator to hell. :thumb:

Why am I always over-complicating things? :rolleyes:

Also, everything you never wanted to know about *real life* warp drive concepts: The Alcubierre Drive In theory, this engine wouldn't need an infinite amount of energy to go faster than light. Unfortunately, the amount that it would theoretically need exceeds the estimated mass of the...

Gasp! D-Whale, you are a whirlwind of creativity! :thumb:

There is one ray of hope, though! It's not a trick with Designer so much as it is a convoluted way of finding pieces you've lost or don't recognize. Open the file in both Designer and Viewer, then select the part you want to locate in Viewer. It'll highlight the part you're looking at in the...

I haven't seen that book, but I do know the ceiling was specifically mentioned in SaG as being the removable bit. It was a very clever setup, especially when you consider that they had to also track the camera backwards down that same tunnel for the explosive finale. That was not composited...

MILF?! Well, I *am* a sexy beast, but I don't have the equipment to be a mother . . . No, there really is no trick, other than having a knack for knowing the most efficient layout which will also be intuitive for the builder. Pepakura always unfolds it and puts the pieces wherever it...

Perhaps Wedge still has the cockpit and landing gear files. Hopefully. Don't use the landing gear, though. It was okay when I made it, but I've gotten better and those gears are begging to be redone with more style.

I'm thinking about building it and adding blinking lights to the wingtips and engine lights. It's a beautiful kit, with folding wings, landing gear doors that can be closed flush with the hull, a nearly complete interior, and a folding boarding ramp, so I want to make my build special. I'll...
