    Designing Paper Models

    I'm relatively new to card modeling and I'm having fun with it. This week I found myself customizing a card model prior to printing it. I changed some colors, created som panel lines and added names, emblems and logos. It was pesty but fun. My question is how do people go about designing their...

    Battlestar Berzerk

    My favorite ship from the Battlestar Galatica series(s) was the barely seen Battlestar Berzerk. The Berzerk (From Old Norse berserkr (n.) "raging warrior of superhuman strength." ) was a support ship much like today's destroyers, designed to protect the Carriers, they prospected the Battlestars...

    Jawa "Sandcrawler" from the movie "A New Hope"

    While the Vulcan sled shuttle is being "De-warped" (Hey I made up my own word, HAHA) I decided to start another build. This time I decided on a Star Wars build. This one is one I found that has very little representation in modeling at all. Yeah, I'm talking to you AMT-Ertl and you Bandai...

    Vulcan "Sled" Shuttle: Star Trek The Motion Picture

    My next build is going to be a bit more complex then the Space 1999: Communication Post. Its the Vulcan Sled Shuttle from the 1979. Its not an overly complicated model but it has its challenges. The frame is rather thin and very flimsy. I have this kit in styrene but I thought it would be cool...

    Warped and Twisted

    No, not my mind but my builds. I like to think my cuts are crisp and my folds are good but inevitably my parts are not straight. Is there something I'm missing and need to keep an eye out for? Its very frustrating.

    Space 1999 Communications Post

    For some reason I woke up early (6:20am) on Sunday which made it 5:20 if you take out the time change. So I was watching the news and having some coffee when I decided to re-try my hand at some paper modeling. I went through my stash of kits I printed out years ago and found something simple to...
