Hey Silveroxide, I saw that thread too and will have a look into it before I get to that part (although it will happen real soon since it's in building group 1, which I am working on at the moment). There was something about that thread tho that kept me wondering, because one person said there...

I'll make sure to post lots of pics, because I want to record the process for myself as well. Basically, I will be ticking off the different building groups (some 632 or so, I think) and list them all separately. By now I have found that my fingers don't really like cutting circles in 1mm...

Heya xD It's been a while since I showed a little of my work, but I didn't feel like doing the umpteenth building thread for a GPM tank (even tho it's 1:16 instead of 1:25). I will post pics when I am done with it xD Since the other project only leaves me with the tracks to cut out and...

It might be a bit early for the Americans, but a wholehearted happy new year from Germany as well (we're already 1h03m into 2013 ;)

@ Micah This one didn't have individual tracks (I just needed to cut out the bands and the ummm... whatchacallthem thingies on the inside), but the model I am doing at the moment *does* have individual tracks.... I haven't arrived at that stage yet, but since I don't want to use lasercut tracks...

Thanks for the nice words :) It was my first tank ever as well, till now I have only done architecture models. But it's a nice model to build, even though the fit isn't always as good as it could be, and the quality of the paper is rather abysmal (it happened often that the layer with the print...

Heya xD It's been a while since I showed what I am working on, but I haven't been idling in the meantime. Inbetween studying for my exams (they are over, thank god xD ) I managed to work on a Tank, more specific the Japanese Chi-He Type 1 Command Vehicle. The model consists of 1250 parts (of...

Reading all this, I think I should consider myself lucky to live in Germany, where A4 is the standard xD But, on a more serious note, I think it is insane that there isn't one standardized worldwide paper size

I use Faber-Castell watercolour pencils, and take the colour directly off the tip of the pencil, or - when I need a colour I don't have (I have a set of 10 pencils) - I create the colour on a piece of paper first and then take off the pigment with a slightly moist brush. The pigment of this...

Thanks once more for the kind words :) I am glad that my log may lead to more people doing this great building. The fun thing is, I am completely areligious myself, but I find that churches and cathedrals often make for the most impressive buildings. Whenever I go somewhere, I usually take some...

Welcome and greetings back from nothern Germany xD

Thanks for all the kind words *feels humbled and all* The model was a joy to build and I was quite astonished to find that I indeed finished it in just two weeks. I must say though that at the time I am without a job, so I have enough time on my hands to both study and build at the same time...

Time for the final update xD All that remained for me to do was to cut out and put into place all the little ornaments. I am no hero when it comes to those, but since I want to progress towards tanks and trains, it was a good way to familiarize myself with working on the square millimetre...

And yet another update. I am running out of parts, so that means the date of completion is getting nearer and nearer. Because of possible accidents, I wanted to finish the cupola first. In the last post, you have seen that the railing was in place. Next I added the columns and the roof. The roof...

And yet another update xD I am getting there slowly. On top of the cupola rests a structure of sorts, that gets topped by some columns and a square dome. Around the columns is a balustrade, which I wanted to add before I could accidentally break stuff. The balustrade is doublesided print, which...

I didn't feel like studying, so I figured I'd add the ornamental parts at the bottom of the cupola. The model was staring at me with puppy eyes, just wanting to have that ugly white band covered up. So I rushed my dinner and gave in :) And no, on the picture you don't see a centipede With...

@ Alang: I do admit I kinda mangled the paper a little, and the fit isn't perfect, but I managed to get them into place, that's true :) @ all: thanks for the praise xD I do hope the rest of the model comes along as nicely as it has till now. And I will continue uploading pics and tips :)...

Hello Kooklik, congratulations on your awesome work! I am not much into trains, but when this model becomes available, I think I need to build it :) Nothing but respect for your designing and modelling skills, and your eye for detail. I'll keep following this thread, and build other stuff in the...

Time for another update. I worked my way around the lower part, finishing the details. First there are the decorations above the main doors. In the first picture you can see them in different stages of completion, the second picture shows them in place. They were hard to fold though, with too...

Thanks Chris and Zathros for the encouraging words :) I have come to love this model, because it's so immensely rewarding. And well...no matter what model, I still think it's neat that something beautiful in 3D can be created with nothing but some sheets of paper, knives / scissors and glue. A...
