I agree with all of you, it is a pity that there are so few expositions of models and mainly of paper models. Here in Italy there isn't a tradition of paper modeling as in other European countries like Germany or Poland, but in general we assist to a decrease of the modeling activity where the...

Believe me, see the Tonino's LM from life it is something else than see it in picture. It is a masterpiece and you can entirely appreciate it only using your eyes. We had had a beautiful day talking about our experiences and i hope in the future to repeat these kind of meeting with Tonino and...

Thanks nero_on_fire for the hint, but it isn't my intention to go deeper into reproduction of the "damages". I just drawn something that could look like the original deck. On the deck there are the marks of eight engines, but when the Falcon lands, uses only the central engine. Then there are...

Now the model is ready for the transport. Best, Nando :)

I tried to reproduce the damages of the flames on the deck.

I finally wanted to add some element that would complete the model and remember the place where the Falcon landed last time. But to reproduce the entire barge at 1/100 would ended in a very large model ( 300 feet = 3 feet or 91 cmt ). So i decided to reproduce a smaller version of the deck of...

But my main concern was the weakness of the legs, mostly because I want to bring it to an exposition. After some trial, I choose to use metallic wire inside the absorbers, and to articulate the legs at the body of the first stage. After the first test, I reinforced the base, and i strengthened...

The model is easy to build and I started to assemble the various parts.

Here where I am

Ok you can start a new thread for the Falcon, just let me know where you put it, so I can add my posts, when I can. Thanks, Nando

Ok, i'm working on the Falcon intensively, because I'd like to bring It at an exhibition near my town with the moonliner. The posts could be sporadic in the next days. Thanks for attention, Nando :)

I started the build of the Falcon 9 in the landed configuration. It's HUGE!. Ok It isn't at same scale but considering the Moonliner at 1/72 and the Falcon at 1/100 it should be even bigger at the same scale of the old missile. I found this picture that depicts the operations at the port and...

You are an artist and surely your models (can i name them this way? ) are a good compromise between expressiveness, skill and handmade quality. I'm not an artist, rather an engineer. We say that an engineer doesn't live but functions, so my models are more expression of quality and attention to...

Ok, I uploaded the file for this add-on. I don't know if all is it ok, so I ask you to verify. However below a preview. Thanks to all for following my project and I hope you enjoy building it. Best, Nando :)

Nando submitted a new resource: TWA Moonliner Base - Add-on for the TWA Moonliner available @Disney Experience Read more about this resource...

Back to the model. I cut out the jig to give the right shape to the railing of the balcony. Then I cut out the railing and I've covered the template with vaseline to prevent the railing from sticking, when I'm applying cyanoacrylate glue to stiffen it. When the cyanoacrylate glue...

Rhaven, I conceived this project only for my personal use, but i have no problem to share the model, as usually I do with my projects. However the base isn't fitting with the original model: i reduced at one half the model, and I'm not thinking about another version that could fit with the...

The base was completed. Then i had to decide how to reproduce the balcony.

But the model lacks a base, so I designed my own. I first built a prototype. The result was satisfactory and I had to come back to the drawing table for refine some detail and some work on texturing.

Then I did the legs. I had some difficulty to manage the small details after I reduced the scale.
