I've only attempted one ship before this, it was a bit of a disaster but it gave me a start, and after staring for hours on end in wonder at some of the ship hull builds both here and on some of the german/polish card model forums I was very eager to get my hands on barry's efforts and start...

The title to this thread is appropriate for 2 reasons... 1. I am going to build a Daring Class destroyer. 2. I am going to dare to scratchbuild it in paper/card with no prior experience in design, 3D software or scratchbuilding in general. I have a great set of plans thanks to some kind...

The link to the PDF is on the main page, not the one you get to by clicking the pic of C3P0 at the top... just scroll down. :thumb:

we really need to get us a bigger "WOW!"... this one just doesn't cut it anymore :p

Awesome work, it's nice to see someone taking on a challenge like this. I tried looking for tutorials on this kind of stuff a while ago but due to forum moves, changes in techniques, new applications and plugins etc, it can all get quite overwhelming and daunting at times when trying to get a...

lol, just when you think you've seen every possible card model subject, along comes stuff like this... somehow I can't see that ever ending up in my build queue... I suppose McGuyver is next? :D

I'm looking for a bigger WOW! than I used last time, but apparently there isn't one. :(

Coming along beautifully there barry, those choppers are a work of art all on their own. I like the look of the hull too, wether that slight warping was intended or not, it looks very realistic compared to the shots of tarawa class ships I have seen through the course of this build. She really...

It gives me great pleasure to announce gippolot's Terrestrial Voyager as this weeks Picture of the Week. This is the first "POTW" for 2008 having been completed just after it was announced as a contender in the staff forum. Designed and built from a single reference picture! Congratulations...

This is a very inspirational thread, thanks bob. I'm about to take on a 1:96 scratchbuild myself, with absolutely no CAD, 3D or scratchbuild experience whatsoever... all I have is the confidence that I can pull it off. Although I have had a very generous offer to help with my hull, I'm...

Update! elf: I'm still undecided but i'm thinking I might start the wheels again, either that or I might just go for a cover-up of some sort. As for model progress, things have slowed down a fair bit, a project I've had sitting on the backburner for a while has been given priority "must...

or maybe even WOW!!!

Nice choice of pic there... A nice model plus plenty to look at in the background... like those 2 nice looking A10's :D Maybe we'll be seeing one of those in a future pic of the week.

Thanks... Ok, so the phone and its beloved camera are gone for good but the build still goes on. I'll try to edit some pics in here later. The body is almost all on now but as I get to the last few panels i'm finding a lot of huge gaps and mismatched parts, where there shouldn't be gaps and...

Ok, you got me there :D

To be honest I'd forgotten about the wiki myself, I'll try to find a way to bring it out in the open more as part of the forum change. Something like doing away with FAQ and tutorial forums by integrating them into the wiki and putting the wiki links in a more prominent place or places. PS...

Nice work... After adding a few extra details to my current model, I'm keen to use the "print extra and add detail" method a lot more in future, a little effort can go a long way... those wheels look great, I'n definitely going back to start mine over again now. Once again, congrats on an...

Congratulations on completing the beast, it looks great but I agree... more pics please :D

I'll add that to the "to do" list as part of the forum restructure, any other suggestions are more than welcome in This Thread (Shameless plug combined with plea for feedback) :p We seem to be adding quite a few as time goes by, I remember the first time I looked in there there wasn't much...

Wow, that looks great... I've been keen to try a few of julius' models and now that I've seen the great job you did on yours I'm definitely looking forward to it, it looks just as good as the 3D model, what details did you add to it?
