Hello!
I have experience in building models- but not like this, thats for sure. I need some introduction.
For one, do you build these out of cardboard? Can you use plasticard/sheet styrene? how do you keep them "sturdy", to use the only words that come to mind? :mrgreen:
in general, how do you build a model out of nothing but paper? Is there some kind of tutorial you could link me to? i'm sure the topic is a broad question, but a few generalizations maybe? I'm not against scouring a multitude of tuts if I can at least figure out what I'm looking for...
I know I'm asking a lot. Some background: I've played Warhammer 40k for about 6 years (anyone familiar with this should know that I'm big on Battlefleet Gothic- the spaceship game for the 40k background). I'm a huge sci fi nerd and there are TONS of spaceships out of science fiction I would love to build that they just don't make kits for. This is a very interesting prospect for that reason.
I hope I can stick around and figure this out, and thanks!
