The Building of the Galactic Fleet

Chad,

This is really good and it does look more detailed than the last time (how'd you do that?!?).:surprise: Great work!:Bravo: I'm going to have to try to build one for the Defender & also to see if I can do it just for kicks.:)

Have a great day & good luck with the move!:animated:

Thank you for that Skyseeker. I do try to view these smaller models as training for me to hone my patience & endurance for the models I have planned to do ahead. I am slowly learning to better use tweezers & a sewing needle, among other tools. I deeply appreciate the support! :)

I have been wanting to rebuild the TOS Galactica too. My first build was put together rather quickly. I've really been thinking of doing another build, but taking my time & doing a WHOLE lot of 'greebling', & possibly installing some LED or fiber optic lights throughout the ship. I'm trying to figure out how I can enlarge the Gearz Galactica to 3 foot. Just toying around with some ideas right now though. Any suggestions?

I would take the file (on a jump drive) to STAPLES or KINKO'S (or your local print shop) and see if they can print it out for you on a larger scale on thicker card stock.
The other alternative is to resize the parts yourself (using your favorite design program i.e. MS PAINT, GIMP, RHINO, or whatever you prefer).
(On a side note, greebling out the (TOS) Galactica would be an interesting build to see.)
Either way you go, I wish you the best of luck with it and I look forward to seeing your build of it.

Here is another Pinterest find. ( I've seriously been getting addicted to Pinterest lately,) I don't know if it comes in a poster or not, but I thought I'd share it. I would love to have my future nerd lair ceiling covered in mixed genre sci-fi paper models with a space backdrop!:) Or should I separate them according to genre? I just don't know.image.jpg

Here's another Pinterest find, it's also on Deviantart. (last one for a while, I promise);). A Star Trek/BSG hybrid. I can't decide if it's an abomination or not, but I think I kind of like it. It is some interesting concept art & I think it would make for one image.png image.png very interesting paper model build.:)

I think it's a pretty cool variant! :) Talk about alternative universe time.

Thanks for sharing!

Chad,

Just checking in. I was just wondering how your next project is going? Hope the move is going well.

I appreciate your asking, Skyseeker. The move is done. Finally! It's been a very rough few months. I won't go into too many details, but we've been having to scramble to get our old house remodeled so we could move back into it. It needed a lot of repairs & upgrades before we could completely move back. I've been doing most of them myself, but my Dad & my father-in-law have kindly stepped in to help out. I don't move very fast on account of my neck & back injuries, so it's taken a lot longer than expected. My wife has been a huge support too. So we're moved, but exhausted! I'm just taking a little time to catch my breath. I will be back very soon to continue work on the Colonial Movers as well as the Phoenix. They are just sitting in my paper model utility shelf waiting for me to pick them back up. I've really missed working on them, & I've missed connecting with all of my fellow Zealots!:) -Chad

Summer, boy does paper modeling take the back burner!! I've rebuilt two tractors, welding some stuff in my Motorhome, and built a 4' x 8' foot 1200 lb. capable trailer, fixed my Honda lawn mower, after doing everything difficult, I find out it's a defective "New" NGK Spark Plug. Started right up with an Autolite. ;)

Glad to hear you've been keeping busy Z. I've been wondering what you've been up to. Seriously though, can we make a t-shirt, or maybe one of those license plate frames that says"I'd rather be Paper-Modeling!"?

It would be neat. You can do whatever you wish. Producing a liscense plate frame would be neat, though the cost for such a mold would be incredibly high! :)

I have finally gotten somewhat settled from recently moving, & so finally getting to a place where I can get back to working on these models. I sure have missed it! image.jpeg So, this evening I resumed work on Revell-Fan's Colonial Movers after a few months of it sitting in a moving box. Picking up where I left off, on the starboard side of the forward head section, I have laid out from left to right parts 24, 21, 22 & 23.

Parts 21, 22 & 23 glue together in that order, the picture shows the positioning of the assembled parts on the starboard side. Part 24 is to be glued just above part 21. That finishes up the starboard side of the head, though I may come back later & add a few greebles.image.jpeg

Chad,

T-shirt should be easy peesy. Create a design, convert to jpeg format, & print an iron on or direct silk screen (requires someone with the right equipment - not me), but I know a guy... (or gal in this case) that can do it. She did it for one of my family members when they drew something. The shirt came out well too.

Funny I haven't checked in on Zealot for a while now and TONIGHT you post something and I happened to go on. It's weird how things work out. Like what you've done with the Colonial Movers model!

Also, coincidental that you're building this model while you're moving a bit prophetic eh?

I hope that all is well with you. Have a nice night Chad.

You are off to a GREAT START with the Colonial Mover. I a, looking forward to seeing how it will turn out.
If and when I build this model, I can see a TON of greebling that can be dome on this model.
