Although my SULACO was finished a while ago the story isn't over... I participated the modelling contest of the Darmstadt SpaceDays 2014 with her at the weekend of October 25. and 26, and it won gold in the papermodel category. :happy:

Thanks a lot!!!

That model linked above in the german forum is mine. Or better was mine, as I sold it a while ago. Looking forward to your paperversion... the base looks great, too!

Wayyyyy cool!

yes, but... a complete bay to put in front of your SULCAO model, in-scale to it... would be much smaller and veeeeery cool!

Hi all, I'm searching a papermodel of the "Eilean Donan Castle" in Scotland: The castle was used in several movies, including one of my favourites: "Highlander". Till yet I wasn't able to find a model of it, neither a printed one nor a download. Can anyone help?

Hey, glad to see you back in service, Jan! Interesting project, although I have to confess I really hoped you would do the NOSTROMO... The cockpit of the Dropship will be a nice model on its own!

No it won't. DIN A3 is double the surface of DIN A4, but enlarching A4 to A3 means enlarging by 41,1 percent, not 200 percent. So length-wise a SULACO enlarged to A3 would be approx. 2,50 meters long (Skoda did it). If you want to double the length of the final model you have to double the...

Uhm, sorry, but... this model, was not designed by Alien99 aka Jan Rukr, but by me!

The given link does no longer work. Is there another place to download it?

What a great gift! Thanks a lot... and now I have to register in that forum, too - its always nice to share the hobby!

Hey, cool!

Time for the next update. Six flanges have to be added between the central tower and the platforms, three on the top side, and three on the bottom. This is how the part looks cut and folded: ...and glued together: All three flanges glued into place: This has to be copied for the...

These cones were stacked to form the tower. No glueing tab were used, as i prefer to glue such parts edge-to-edge: The sphere on the top isn't a paperpart (how could a 1 mm diamter spere be constructed from paper?), but a needle with a glass head: All this has to be repeated for the...

Next Update: The main tower. The large cone that acts as the base of the tower is the most obvious simplified part. While the blue glowing slits should be deep recesses I choosed to construct it as a flat part, simulating the recesses with texture: Using the formers the cone is easy to...

The little step between the outer and inner spine was covered by the conical part I mentioned before: The grouped parts are now placed between the three platforms: The other side is still "naked", and will be covered by a second outer spine part, an exact twin of the one shown above...

When you look at the old drawing of MIDWAY which I posted at the begining you'll see that the spine should go all the way through the gap in the middle of the three platforms, touching all of them. Well - this won't work with the diameter given in the technical data, as the spine would be to...

Thanks for the kind words! So here is the update for today: As mentioned above I wanted to have clear central domes for my personal, enhanced version of MIDWAY STATION. I got some matching cleear domes in a nearby hobbyshop, and I added central towers and some other structures from my greeblie...

All this has to be done 3 times to build the 3 platforms. When finished they have to be glued together, forming a triangle: So much for today - more to come.

My personal build will feature transparent domes in the middle of the platform top sides, but the fans should be able to build a complete station using just the material that comes with the kit, so I had to create paper domes. I construct my models without the use of any kind of 3D program...
