Got a good amount done this weekend. I finished the wings and finished most of the engines. I tried to make the domes on the engines completly from paper but just did not like how they looked so I finally decided to use some sculpty so that I could sand it smooth. I am not happy with the little...

Very impressive. I especially like how the seam lines are hidden by putting them where the tiles separate anyways. Very well executed, I love builds that show the medium can hold it's own with resing builds.

Greebling really is very easy, just time consuming. Here are some common tools and tricks I use: Strips of paper - In .5,1,3,5,and 6mm widths (for this project) on 110pd cardstock. I also create another set at these width but laminated 3 sheets thick. The vast majority of the details on this...

Here is an update on where I am at. Got alot done last night and I am almost done with the sides. just have part of the neck to finish. As far as the questions; Sadly my process does not use 3D modeling so templates would be difficult. I normally do 2D blueprint but for this model I found some...

I love all the detail. It can be a chore but man does it literally make a model pop. I will also have to remember that slide setup as it is really ingenious. I hate to admit I don't know what these ships are from but I love the design.

Thanks for all the kind words, it definately is keeping me going with this build. I have been wanting to do this for a while but all the detail was intimidating. In reality the individual pieces are very easy to make it's just the sheer quantity. Here's hoping I retain my sanity by the time I am...

I always wanted to scratch build a Y-wing because of all the little greebles and details and decided my skills had progressed where I should be able to do a decent job of it. I found a 2D blueprint online that I thought would help with the basic shape and scale but I have had to fine tune and...

The emblem is between quarter and half dollar size. It's definately a big gun. the term hand cannon never felt more accurate.

Got some time to paint the gun this weekend. Basically I painted the whole body black and then dry brushed on alot of silver. Once I did that I brushed some watered down black to help blend the silver back into the black. Finally I used a silver paint marker to draw on the worn edges. The...

I now have most of the gun constructed. I finished the front portion of the gun. Again most of the model was accurate, so I just needed to add fine details and make a few small corecttions. The first thing I did was add some screws to the side of the gun. I later realized the screw on the far...

Looks really good!. Cant wait to see more progress. I just started a build myself: http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172682\ Maybe we can share ideas. I found mousemuffins build after beggining my own and he definately set the bar high! Are you using the same superglue method? I...

loving the build. I saw your Garrus build and its impressive how minimal your seam lines are and i cant really see "steps" between the layers. Out of curiosity do you always use the tabs or do you glue squares behind the layer to make them that seamless?

actually already have a bit more to show. I had to split the post due to attachment restrictions. I started by cutting out the two read side panels and cutting out a screw inlay for where the gun hinges. I then asembled the majority of the rear part of the gun exactly as the kit has them. This...

Just discovered this site while working on my current build and wanted to share it here. It is the samaritan pistol from Hellboy created by UHU02. I normally like to build my models from scratch but UHU02 model is excellent and only needed minor tweeks so I decided to use it as the base. Thanks...

Thanks for all the kind words. Yeah the ghost trap tends to be one of my more popular projects and actually was one of the easiest. If you check out GBfans.com they have a bunch of blueprints with exact measurements. You can find them here: http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/plans/ I believe I...

I actually have a deck box I made for magic the gathering that I have for download and I hope to share it once I meet my 10 posts and 4 weeks.

My name is Leo Firebrand and I just discover this forum. I have been card modeling for a while now and it's nice to find an active comunity. Most of my models are built from scratch using standard blueprints I design but I hope to eventually to learn pepukura. Here are a few samples of my card...
