I am finally proceeding with both the Geminon Traveler & Celestra builds. I've hesitated because I was in a hurry when I first started them, & I made a few mistakes. If you've seen some of my earlier pics of the Geminon Traveler, the seams on the bow from my build left a lot to be desired. & for...

I haven't been doing a whole lot of building these past few weeks. But, I have been slowly working on Jaybat's Galactica. Sorry, I haven't taken any build pics. I wasn't planning to post any pics of this build, but it's such an awesome design, it's all coming together better than I'd hoped, & it...

Whatever your reasons for having to leave your models, really sorry that happened. :( But, you are right. The beauty of these paper models is that they can be built again ( that's so much part of the fun). I thought I might enjoy looking at the ones I have already built for a while, then give...

This is a pic of the finished 3 foot Galactica. ( this build was done by Stephen Irl ) I look at it regularly for reference & for inspiration. I only hope that my build turns out half as good . :robot2::robot1::tank:

Here is a diagram (provided in the instructions), of how the various sections fit together.

This is the beginning of the lower center section of this model. Very clear instructions are provided with this model, & they say do not glue the 3 bridge sections ( upper, mid, & lower) until the center section & engine section are completed. I haven't posted many build pics of the bridge...

Here are some pics of the mid & lower bridge section. For the mid section I used foamboard instead of the supports provided in the template ( may I be forgiven) It is pretty sturdy though. I'm almost through buttoning up the lower bridge section. Then I only need to install the guns, on both the...

Ok, I'm finally getting serious about resuming work on the 3 foot Galactica. I've held off because I've had a lot to learn on better paper modeling techniques. But now, ( thanks to some good tips from Zathros & a few others), I think I feel very confident proceeding with this model build. Here...

Thank you, I appreciate that! :)

Thank you Spaceagent-9, it was a lot of fun to build! :)

You're right about the physics on the B5 series, guess I never paid much attention to it before. I couldn't find an available download for the game you mentioned, but I did see some YouTube video of some of the gameplay & it looks like it would be really fun to play. I'll keep looking. :)

Thanks! :) I really like this particular clear coat. I've tried several & I think I've settled on this one. It spreads very evenly & has a glassy gloss look. I think it will preserve the models very well, but only time will truly tell. I don't know if it's really made for paper, but it's worked...

Ok, I just finished my Babylon5 station build this evening (one of Jaybat's designs), the clear coat just finished drying & I just had to share a few pics. :)

Thanks! This Galactica was one of my first builds. I got into to big of a hurry in my excitement to see it finished & made many mistakes. At this angle though, they're not so visible. I'm working on a space backdrop for taking future 'beauty shots' (as DanBKing put it). "The camera loves you...

I don't quite have any new build pics to post yet, but here is a pic of my Gearz Galactica with a few mini models. :)

I'll definitely check it out! Thanks! :)

It's a Nikon Coolpix L26. The manual that came with it is has apparently gone missing. I downloaded a PDF of the manual from the Nikon website this morning, & reading has commenced. :) this is a pic of the page for the image settings. Is the 640x480 a good setting, or is that too low?

Really!!? What cup size? A whole 6 months?? Lol! Glad you had an understanding Mom! :) .......Anyhooooo, I don't see that resolution setting on this particular camera, but now that I'm aware of it, I'll figure something out. Still planning on getting a newer model camera soon. But I may have to...

Thanks, that brought a good laugh to my morning! :)

Still in my queue to build or finish in the weeks ahead : the 3 ft. Galactica, the Celestra, the Geminon Traveler, & the Mining ship.
