I agree this model is simply stunning and I cant wait to see the actual build pictures and kit. Great job!!

The picture trick is something I learned a while back using other forums that use the same software. The problem with the picture upload is it puts all the pictures at the end and I can't insert a picture without a link. So I upload the photos and the right click and copy the link on the upload...

I have always enjoyed the design of this ship. It's very Iconic and your's looks great so far. Smart idea on using the thick card. Small folds can be a real pain.

I'm glad to see you found some good drawings you could use for blueprints and I hope you do decide to do the Y-Wing next as I would love to see one built as big as your models are. If you have any questions or get stuck just let me know as I probably had similar probelms when I built mine.

Thats really ingenious Raven, I wish I had seen that prior to my problem and I will definately be using that method going forward. I finished the torso last night. First i started by cutting out the upper torso shape from the orthographic and then I wraped it to make a box. After that I cut ot...

What type of cardboard do you use. Looking at some of your recent parts its impressive how clean the edges look espicially considering how thick the card must be. Aslo is it really hard to cut?

Thanks zathros that means alot. I ended up having alot of free time this weekend so I managed to make alot of progress. Sadly I got really in the zone and did not take as many making of photos as I shoud have. Also want to give a huge thank yout to Blaar for providing me a PDO of the...

Thanks for all the kind words it really means alot. I was honestly worried when I started this project it would fail horribly and there are definately some inconsitencies and asymetrical issues that I wish I could have resolved but ultimately I got the body done and the rest of the model should...

Yeah I will agree I should not have glued on the antennae yet and I knew it was a bad idea when I did it....i just really wanted to see everything on the body. Luckily I have not had any issue yet and as of now I am done with the main body so it should be safe. First I finished off the...

Wow this model is looking better and better everyday. Cant wait to start seeing this being built

Another update today. Got most of the main body done this weekend. Only need to finish the backside and cockpit area. After creating the basic shape of the laser pod, I used the back template you can see in my previous post as a guide for folding a strip of paper around the back of the pod. I...

I remember you saying you were wanting to do more scratch building this time around and it really seems you are getting a nack for it. Your scratch built parts intgrated perfectly and really take this model up a notch. I cant wait to see this in it's final glory.

As always thanks for the kind words, hopefully im describing enough so other people can try their hand at scratch building by hand...though I do not recommend starting with the Catapult as this thing is testing me at every turn. Still the challenge is fun. I also agree the new mech designs...

Small update. I have been under the weather a bit and between elections and housework have not had much time to do much project work. I started working on the cockpit area and basically I just cutout the left/right portion from the ortho and then scaled up the side that connects with the nose...

I think I am a little confused and interested in some clarifications. When loenf said he recolored and vectorized the model I read that to mean he created a new vector graphic in Adobe Illustrator or the likes and did nothing to modify ninjatoes orginal unfolded 3D model. Basically a new skin...

Here is the next update. I am starting by building the basic framework first and then I will go back and add all the details. I started by glueing on the shoulders uisng the profile ortho as a guide: Next i used the front image and the side image to determine the X and Y dimensions of the...

Been a fan of the Mechwarrior and Battletech franchises most of my life and while the catapult was not my favorite mech to pilot (I like my assault class) It has always been my favorite Mech design. Recently I found out that the franchise is having a resurgence and while I dont care for the fact...

looks incredible and I am always a fan of all the little subtle details. Look exceptional. I'm Curious how large it is. Since it's corrugated cardboard I'm guessing it's pretty large. Will have to search for some of your earlier builds.

Thanks you don't realize how much that means. I tried really hard to make it as simple yet detailed as I could and there is always that fear that you don't explain something well enough because you know the model too well.

:eek: wow i thought 1000 was a typo. That would be impressive. I have always been a huge fan of your work and your APC inspired me to get into the art. In fact my first custom build was an APC with a complete interior. I have to agree with Rhaven on liking the Lambo II. Is the unreleased...
