Paper dope? Zathros if you're suggesting I start sniffing glue... the answer is 'no'.

Um... unless 'chip board' is a nother word for "Cereal Box Carboard" I'm not using chipboard.

Yeah... I'm not in that average. My expierence with model design and building is... "I glue the template to the cardboard, I cut the cardboard, I glue the cardboard. Cutting is easier with an exacto-blade then with scissors so I use an exacto blade. White glue is less frustrating then super-glue...

Zathros... you really need to learn how to evaluate your audiance. I understood... eh... maybe a third of what you just said. What are Machinists files and what makes them different from say jewler files? what does delaminate mean? What sort of glue are you suggesting? How fine are we talking...

You've told me that before and every time I'm tried that all I wind up doing is destroying the edge and having to clean up a pile of dirt. Do you have a tutorials or a video that shows the process or anything?

So I took a few hours off from... well every thing today to do some work on the big verison of the Tallahassee. I think this shot makes a good effort at showing the size difference. The prior version is about 11" long (show on the left) while this large version will be abound 24" long. Seeing...

So have a bit of a so-so update. I am continuing this project... sort of. My summer semester is proving to be nigh-hellish as I'm talking System Analysis, Introduction to Information Systems and Network Security Fundimentals this semester, and the first two of those classes are regarded as the...

my printer, a ruler and pencil.

um... okay. Well First thing, that image is actually from the fan produced game Wing Commander Saga. Second, the template I'm working from is actually based on the in-game model from Wing Commander 3 which had very many details not present and frankly only barely referenced. This is the...

As far as the Cruiser goes, the cardboard is just for cost of development. My intended end result is a styrene model with some lighting effects. I'm just using the cardboard because it's cheap, readily availability and works somewhat the way that Sheet styrene does so I get a good idea of sizes...

And plowing onto version 2.0 now. I've addressed many of the hickups and issues I encoutnered with the 1.5 version. The single biggest change I made in this version is the flight deck. In the prior version the flight deck, or at least what is suggested to be a flight deck, was built out of 2...

If you've been following my F-103 Excalibur project thread, you've seen that I've been bouncing all over the place with it. Well that's because I grossly over-estimated my skills/under-estimated the demands of the project. Originally I was aiming to design, build, paint, and install lighting...

Hey all, gonna be doing a live stream today starting at 5PM est and going till 9pm est where I will be working on some manner of paper-crafting. Probably a Land Speeder. So if you want to swing by and say hi, or check out how I'm working on this project or just hang out and listing to the music...

And guess what project I'm back working on? Here is the version 3.0 mock up as it stands at the completion of my live stream tonight. Starting from 0 and ending with this after only 6 hours... I'll call that a win. Using foam board for the main body helped to speed things up a lot...

The greebling? That's a new word for me. and cue 10 degrees of Wikipedia....

It's the primary effort to a project like this. I started my blog (and then my facebook page, Twitter, Twitch stream, Instagram, pinterest) as a means to encourage in the hobby, as well as inviting critique on my own work. If I get more people involved, that just furthers the effort.

"I am authorized to use lethal force!" During the stream tonight I finished work on the vulvan mega-bolter! So now the beast has 2 weapons it can use: One thing I've discovered, and by discovered I mean I've never heard anyone mention this before: the location of the mounting point for...

Hey all, gonna be doing a live stream today starting at 4PM est and going till 10pm est where I will be working on the War hound. So if you want to swing by and say hi, or check out how I'm working on this project or just hang out and listing to the music, come check it out at...

With the conclusion of my live stream tonight I have some updates on the titan. Well a part of the titan. Well a piece of one part of the titan. I mostly finished one barrel of the turbo laser! I made a rather large mistake with the barrel, or rather the forward section of it.the inner section...

So we're talking about joints. No not that those kinds of joints! Specifically the shoulder joint on the war hound where you mount weapons! As I previously stated this turned into a challenge to see just how far I can go with just paper and the like. Now I could just make a box or barrel and...
