They'll probably start popping out some new ships once the videos come out. Looks like some pretty good ships from the clips I've seen. We'll just have to wait and see.

I haven't seen the new TV show, but since they decided to make it a pay channel, I figured they were money-grabbing "bags of crap". I guess I"ll just wait around. I thought I heard that someone like maybe Paragon was working on it, but I may have been hallucinating.

Yeppers! That's the one! She's a beaut!

Is there a model of the USS Ares from the fan film Axanar out there? I heard rumors of someone making a paper model but I can't find it.

Sure, if I didn't keep snapping the points off my blades. ;)

Hey, in reference to the "blades" thing...I just bought 100 blades through Amazon for about 11 bucks. And - they were actually X-acto blades! Talk about a deal! I thought they were just cheap knock-offs. I was pleasantly surprised. Usually, 40 blades are about 15-20 bucks. So, there you go. And...

I've been using almost exclusively 65 lb paper. Gonna have to change up to the 110 lb paper then. And more blades! More blades!!

110 lb? I may try that...

I keep trying and trying. :) Some models come out good, some, not so much.

Thanks! Gonna have to get better with the curvy bits, though.

Oh yeah. Now I know (sort of) what I'm doing, I'll be able to make fewer mistakes. I hope.

Thank you. And yep. I'm probably gonna start over and do a better job.

I used regular old 65 lb cardstock.

And...here it is. I'm not at all happy with the way it came out, but I can try again.

Hey I'll give it a try. If it bleeds, I'll print a new page.

I might try to clean it - that's what I did last time I had problems. But hey, the HP prints way better, so that'll work. And type of ink? Welllllll, the black is pigmented, and the color is dye based. So - can't do the water trick on the curving. *sigh*

Oh hey Zathros! I was looking at this thread about making smooth curves and saw that you are an Electronic Technician! I just booted my old (purchased in 2012) Kodak printer to the curb. It just wouldn't print the black ink properly. It would print fine on the left, then halfway through it...

Paper parts filler! What an excellent idea! I was looking for something else in the tutorial section when I saw this, and wow! Gonna use this one big time! Thanks!

Version 1.3 is completely perfect now! I have finished printing out all the needed pages and will now begin to work on that model. At least what I can until I get my cardboard/chipboard so I can support the difficult bits.

It was my confusion. I should have added to the entire thread, but I accidentally responded to your Narcissus discussion. Silly me.
