I don't want to sound pedantic, it's just that there are many threads about how to build models, but not many on how to "build" instructions. I think the exploded view is not a bad way to go, it just isn't enough. For one thing, the pieces on the paper are flat, but in the exploded view they are...

Has there been a thread on making instructions? There's the question of tools, or going text heavy, or text light, or just pictures to be universal, exploded view or individual step by step. I have to admit it isn't one of the main things one wants to do after one gets done designing a model. Of...

I searched for pics and saw some build/parts images. It is actually fairly tricky for a goodie in a DVD set. Good luck...it'll be nice to see what you do with it. (privately I'm trying to see if I can work up a reasonably good 3view)

I seriously doubt they ever did. They were printed in a relatively large book format, about 10 pages of cardstock. Besides a few models per issue (typically one per page), they also had paper soldiers and backdrops for war game playing (nothing fancy, we're talking the 7-10 yo crowd). They also...

Soy un reciente miembro aqui, y parte de mi interes en este grupo era que tenia una seccion internacional. Soy fundamentalmente de EEUU pero nacido en Chile donde pase algunos años cuando niño. Ahi conseguia unos recortables en cartulina bajo la marca Royal. Hay poca informacion en el net y...

I've seen picks of it on the net, but it seemed a tad simplified, probably for publishing to the general public. On the other hand there are also from perhaps the same publications some pretty good views (side + 3/4) that to me seem fair game for starting points if you are willing to scratch...

You know all those sawtooth tabs for circular and curved parts. Well, one thing I 've used that comes in quite handy are pinking shears (fabric scissors with a sawtooth cut). They are a bit unwieldy but if the part is large enough it isn't too bad of a problem. With a little practice, those...

Hopefully I'm putting this in the right place. I go by zubie and those that participate over at starship modeler may recognize me. I've been meaning to join for quite a while now, and finally gotten around to do it. I particularly like the bit of international flavor around here. At any rate...

I may have an answer for you. Basically start at the poles reinforcing with cardstock on the inside as you work your way down to the equator. When you have two hemispheres, you can reinforce the insides with strips of thin stock and even disks slightly smaller than the diameter inserted inside...

I've built a couple of things with laser printed parts and did not find cracking to be an issue nearly as bad as that of plain spottiness which, since I'm not a printer engineer, I can only guess are drum issues (shhh!, it was the office printer). I have been using the home b&w laser printer to...
