Welcome to the forum. :) You'll find a completed Cylon BSG 1970's Armour set available in the Downloads section in this Forum. It is free to download for your own use, but may NOT be sold or redistributed. The files will allow a complete Cylon costume to be built. There are also Cylon weapons...

To see the vast array of techniques employed in building this Dingo is a true pleasure. The vehicle's descendant, the Ferret, was even more crowded in the interior, but every bit as useful. Yes, the Dingo did have three pedals on the floor, but some of the later ones also had (iIrc) a...

Jim, you are more than welcome. :) I am very glad indeed to have been able to be of some help with the info I've given. It is rare I get the chance to be able to contribute to a project, and to see your very fine work achieve fruition is a thing that occasions warmth and happiness in me. I...

Traversing Gear. Hello Jim. :) Again, this is according to my understanding of the topic, and the info is memories decades old. So, I stand to be corrected by those more knowledgeable than myself. For shape, picture/imagine a disk an inch and a half or so thick, and about 7 inches across...

As I understand it: The one-piece door was on the first two prototypes; and perhaps the very earliest production models. The two-piece ("split") doors were found to be simpler to produce, and thus became the standard fitment on the "UK Pattern" vehicles. The foot-high door-sill (or "coaming" to...

The prototype handles for the original Maxim machinegun were allegedly taken from haybale hooks. I have no idea if that is true, or apocryphal, but it would not surprise me were it true. Hiram Maxim was not a great spender of money at that time of his life. It would not seem unreasonable to...

Scale has been discussed elsewhere as being 1:130, which, having regard to the posted photos on the blog, looks to be about right. The posted build pics of the model are very thorough and should provide ample guidance in assembly of the model. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

There is an Air Algerie DC3 about, and I think an An2 on a Russian site, both free. For variety, there's also the occasional 1920's airliner that turns up, though I admit not always free. Perhaps something "oddball" such as a GeeBeeR1? There are a few of those about, both from FG and a Japanese...

I too am partial to Blood Angels models, though in fairness I have and do collect other Chapters. Both the Tempest and the Blood Angels Jetbike look to be coming along well. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

I just discovered this thread. Thank you for these very rare and unusual models. They touch my heart for a number of reasons. My Respects to you OldRangerBob. Kind and Respectful Regards OldRangerBob, Uyraell.

Congraultations.:) A very beautiful build extremely well illustrated. You have produced a very fine model, exquisitely detailed. Genial and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Logically, paper armour produced from mulberry bark should not be any less effective than the wicker armour used by certain tribes in remote regions. There was an article some years ago on the topic, in an online Bulletin Board. Apparently, the wicker armour could stop musket balls from...

Plus one on the Lun pictures.:) The Ekranoplan family interests me greatly, because so much could be achieved with them, even these days. Welcome back Srtk. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Thank you for this, it's a very fine looking model, and one I shall enjoy building. It captures the look of the original very very well, and is instantly recognisable as belonging to the "Dune" Universe. I'll be very pleased with it, once I've built it. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

It is impressive to see a model of this size. First time I've seen such a large model hanging in place. Very nicely done, congratulations on a fine build. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Have a look at Kancho Illiev's site. He has free downloads of a suitably large selection of aircraft bombs and missiles, the vast majority of which would be employable by modern aircraft. They are very neatly done, and more than worth your time. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

I can only admire your fortitude in using 80g paper, Foxbat. I have nowhere near the skills required to attempt such a large model as this, let alone in so light a material. I'm just starting out learning in paper models, and builds such as yours here serve to educate me greatly, for which I...

I like the look your models have, Sanginus. The Imperium Style,so to speak, is very well captured. While I do not now and never shall play the W40K games, I certainly enjoy the models, and collect them. These are among those I'd be delighted to collect and build. This build of yours is...
