Ok, so I'm missing a few pics. They never got downloaded from the camera, So this will be a little out of order. I have finished the small cockpit, and am almost finished with the large cockpit. Lots of fiddly pieces, lack of clarity in the directions, and some fit issues. All were resolved...

That is looking very sweet! Looks clean from my end.

Here I am with a brain the size of a planet and you reduce me to a simple bobblehead paper model. How depressing.sign1

The seats. Wow . . . talk about some small fiddly bits. The parts for the seat bases. The assembled seat bases. They are actually laminated 1 mm matte board. I decided not to roll paper for the seat handles as they are just too darned small. :curse: I actually put the base for the...

I always had to laugh at Worf's Page Boy haircut on TNG, until they gave him a pony tail reminiscent of a Native American brave.

Quick Update! So the "fire extinguishers" (that's what I call them anyways ;-) ) took an evening. Six hours to cut out, color edges, form, glue together and then mount on the port and starboard bulkheads. Will post more photos including the completed seats in a couple of hours. I...

@ Zathros- It actually took me a couple of weeks getting it to the right size, then reorganizing the pieces to pack as many as possible per page (I'm REAL stingy with my ink). I spent many hours measuring, copying, pasting, rotating, and erasing in Illustrator and Photoshop. I started with a...

@ Zathros- I married one too! Of course, at the time we married she was the mother of my son so . . . . . :p

@ Rhaven Blaack- Thanks, the detail is from the cockpit on Paper-replika.com Looking at some of the specifics, I'm not sure that the model in the pics is actually from the templates presented. But it sure is nice having cockpit details! @dnalor- Wait . . . . didn't you just finish a Falcon...

Forgot to get pics yesterday, so took pics of the past two days' work. Getting some progress in the cockpits, I may just go with mostly 2 layers laminated matte board plus the card. The large cockpit floor and rear bulkhead were done this way and it is THICK and sturdy. So far the builds are not...

I use an old, OLD, copy of Photoshop. Some members here use GIMP which is free to download. I haven't taken the time to get used to GIMP due to the fact that you currently cannot print directly from it. One must same the work, then open it in another application (such as Paint, Photoshop, or...

Wow, I admire your tenacity! That is a . . . shocking . . shade of blue and magenta!:mrgreen:

I am also watching this thread. Hmm . . . . somewhere I might have the "Book of Alien" from 1979, it might have some useful pics.

Coat the edges in bacon oil and *I'll* eat it! :p

I am and have been waiting for a while to see this one completed. The attention to detail by both Jan Rukr and skoda is amazing. I have to remind myself that many of these pictures are taken with the model standing on end. It just looks so natural in the horizontal pose, I can't wait to see all...

Sadly ,when Boba Fett made a "pit stop" at his local Fill Yer Fuel Cell & Go station, two unidentified males stole his bounty.:shock:

@ Szdfan- I'm using PVC foam board (not foamcore), the PVC is used for making outdoor signs. It is a lightweight sturdy plastic. @Inv8r_timmy- But if I purchased it, I couldn't say that I made it. :mrgreen: Plus, there is a lot more love involved in something that was made and not just...

I use Photoshop for enlarging as well. The ARC-170 is also on my "to do" list.

First set of pics ... nothing much, just the resized, reorganized and crammed together pieces. The complete enlarged model on top, and the almost stock printout on bottom (Ok, printed at 94% to fit 8.5x11). And yes, I will be building both scales, one for him,and one for me. :mrgreen...

The mission: Scale Paper-Replika's Jedi ETA-2 up 157% and build with interior by Tomasz Bąk also available on Paper-Replika.com. Construct with opening clear canopy, and possibly hinged wing flaps. Create a recessed port for R2D2. Make sturdy enough to be played with by a 4 year old. Finish by...
