That's the thing with greeblin', you see a part of a ship, not a paper model. That's the difference. It just takes the whole model over the top.
This component does not look like paper at all.
The amount of realism and detail that you put into your models is OUTSTANDING!!!

Well i have to admit i also used 2 paperclips and a little piece of alu foil.
But the rest is paper

Looks fine. When I first worked on real aircraft, I was kind shocked to see how out of shape things could get. I love the trim tab you bend my hand on the older Cessna 173's. That was downright scary! That method is used on a lot of craft, including new ones still. You can just make it out on the attached picture, bottom piece sticking out of rudder. I never liked these planes, they are not stable, stall way to violently, so do the 172's, feels like your stiffing on a horizontal poll, fall backwards, then snap forwards. You could never get a Piper Warrior to do that, it would just stand on it's tail, while you worked the rudder pedals like you were pedaling a bicycle. So, any was, I guess what I am trying to say is, don't make it too perfect! (having owned 7 or 8 Mercedes Benz's, currently a 1973 450SL, I know that's hard for some German people to do, not make something "perfect".
tHAT'S why i've got a car..
nothing to bend
i've started with the cooling ribs on the back.
i'm going to build them with a cardboard sandwich.
a picture comes..but at the moment i have a little problem with my smartphone.

FINALLY..i found a picture-camera
in the meanwhile i build the cooling ribs
just like the wings of Loenf his tie fighter.
corrugated-cardboard with kellogs cardboard sandwich
They feel very sturdy..the color i'm still thinking about but i think this is final
Now i'm working for the mechanism for the harpoon cable.

I couldn't even make a title for this comment. "OOOW" has been used many times, but doesn't make justice at all to everything you have accomplished so far.
I am a newbie both in this hobby and here, but seeing not only the level of detail, but how you did it as well, just keeps me in awe, for you don't keep your knowledge to yourself, sharing it with us all.
Although words won't express what I think may be the feelings of many here, let me just say: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC JOB!

Wow, like Rhaven said, it does not look like it's made of paper. It look like your building a snow speeder!! The panels look like some kind of aluminum alloy to me. great work!!
It looks like a studio model. Just imagine how Star Wars would have looked if they had used paper models for shooting :mrgreen:.
Ugh I'm completely stunned.......
This snowspeeder looks.... beyond fantastic.
The level of detail is just amazing and as others said before, it doesn't look like paper at all !! You sure you didn't buy this model from George Lucas thrue e-bay ?
A great motivator this, to see what is possible.
Heel erg mooi gemaakt dnalor, petje af :thumb:
