Nice work!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::Bravo: Thanks for sharing your models. :Drinks: I especially like the bird of prey model with the Talarian Craft.:) You know this sort of reminds me of some of the TTA (Terran Trade Authority) craft in a book called Spaceships by Stewart Cowley.

Center engine - Gluing the tabs around the edge - tamp down the center portion as best you can. This actually "locks" every thing in place.

Yeah, you're right about the sharp blade. I probably need to get a new X-acto blade and a new pair of sewing scissors.
Thanks for the praise regarding the tabs.:) I'm a slow learner, but occasionally I get there sooner or later.. mostly LATER!;)

You know I just realized that when you look at the pics of the top that they get blown up to about 3x the size of the real thing! Great recommendation regarding the wet edges. Will try that next time when the opportunity arises.

I remember the Agamemnon. Nice work. My version didn't have any canons. Maybe I'll finally redesign the cannons. I was building the Centauri Vorchan, but ran into a design block. Built the Centauri Sentri Fighter.
Can we see the Shadow spider on gold paper? :angelic: That would look...
Z,
I really could have used a pair of curved scissors this last time around especially for the top and the engine areas. You really notice the paper fiber issue, especially when you color the paper with a pencil if it's not cut right. Being left handed and using right handed sewing scissors...

Although the Marauder would be pretty cool (I'm watching all of the 1980's Buck Rodgers series right now) my vote is for the U.N.S. Flying Dutchman due to all of the curves and greebles one would have to do. Also, I don't think too many people have done this one. It's quirky, different, and...
