Hey tars, I love the pistol. It looks like it has some good detail, even without any textures. This is going to look great with some ink on it! As far as beefing-up the model, I would agree with Kjev on laminating the card to something stronger. I have found that the corrugated card from boxes...

I have finished the first test build and overall, I am quite happy with it. Remaining issues are: 1. I need to laminate more parts than I originally intended (moire bezel; handles; spacer between disks and moire panel; buttons and lights). 2. I need a minor pepakura re-layout to allow the...

After three weeks, I thought I ought to start cutting some paper: This is not my best build effort as the side piece ended up twisted. The other side has a slightly different layout, so hopefully it will build better.

Thanks for the suggestion Starship Builder, but I had the same issues with Pepakura2. Altogether I had three problems: 1. With one version of the file I had an extra 400 or so faces generated between two seperate parts after some boolean hole cutting in Blender. I recut the holes and most of...

Thanks for the links guys. Sorry no update for a while, there are a lot of birthdays/anniversaries in september. This project is still progressing (slowly). After adding detail to the model (specifically the rotation points for the door and display module) everything looked fine in Blender...

The buttons/lights look ok in pepakura too: For the more nimble fingered amongst you, the model will have all the parts to make up the cylinders for the buttons and lights. For us mere mortals, it will probably just be easier to laminate the tops onto thick card. I have changed the texture...

jgderuvo; twb962;col. Kurtz; MOS95B Thanks again for you kind remarks guys. I am still battling with Blender to get everything lined-up and looking like the the reference pictures. (Cue star trek battle music "..20 Quatloos on the newcomer!..") So I should have a 3D model that I am happy with...

Thanks guys, I have run it through pepakura to give me an idea of how (un)buildable it is..:mrgreen: plenty of work to do there, fixing the model and aligning/changing the textures. However, while attempting to scale the model to what appears to be the generally accepted prop size of 7in x...

My good lady wife informs me it is bedtime!

Thank goodness for wet sunday afternoons.

Thanks nothing, I hope I can keep the momentum going. I have managed to add some detail to the data disks and door panels:

WOW! So that's like a 10cm Nostromo? I think that's incredible. Congratulations on your designing and building skills. I would love to see some higher resolution/ close-up pics of this one.

A few weeks back, someone mentioned that there is no paper model of the tricorder from the original Star Trek series. It's on my (long) list of models wanted too, so I thought I would give it a go. Fortunately there is a wealth of reference material on the web. Progress on the 3d model is...
