at first some facts: I´ve printed the Tiny Dropship into 160g/m2 card stock paper. This material (paper) is on the edge of comfortable work,
but the result is more durable.:thumb:
As it was written above the PDF document represents the style of future look of the Uss Sulaco.
The pdf is like bitmap or jpg format. ( the parts of the model are on the whole place without white area)
If you will print this pdf file ( always with fit to page feature on:twisted
, your printer will downscale this sheet (onto 94% mostly) and add non printable area (9~12 mm white edge).
I´ve calculated with 12mm in Pepacura Designer....My printer is making 9mm edge...so the final model of the dropship is 6.2cm long instead of 6cm (in my case).
It´s not too bad...from 1.7meter will be 1.75....it means that i will have my sulaco 5 centimeters longer. that means 1:418 scale....
But who cares : it doesn't matter what scale will you obtain, the inportant thing is print the sheets of the papercraft always with same printer settings...nothing more.:mrgreen:

*smiles* Sorry my oddball sense of humor comes out when it's late and I'm tired.
I'd like to display the Dropship as is if it's being dropped from a launch bay 'installed' in the ceiling.

Considering Mr Rukr's normal attention to detail, I'm suprised the tiny dropship doesn't have a teeny tiny APC in it.....
Hey c'mon guys, let him finish the Sulaco first! I for one have been waiting a long time for this one!
I for one have been waiting a long time for this one!OK, that may have been one of the most challenging small projects I've attempted to date. Don't get me wrong: I loved it! It was a fun hour or so.
At 89% printer output size the completed 16 part mini-Cheyenne came in at 6 Cm total length. Here are a few shots of my build.
Keep working on that Sulaco, Jan. I'm very eager to build it.

Wow you guys aren't kiddin' about the size of this thing! I haven't printed mine out yet. I'm afraid if I built it now, I'd lose it somewhere on my desk!:mrgreen: Looks good Darmat!
I used the normal 110 lb card stock I usually use, but I would recommend something a little thinner now that I've done it. That glossy paper Jan used sure looks good, doesn't it!?
