I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant that he'd stolen the designs for his models from someone else and was passing them off as his own. Personally, I don't see that he's done much wrong, although Disney might possibly disagree with that. I was quite happy to pay for his models...

I apologise for including a link to a commercial site as I didn't realise that's not allowed, but I'm really confused now. Did you look at the same website I created the link to?! I'm pretty sure the person who I bought this model from is a reputable seller. You've made a pretty strong...

Thank you zathros :). I forgot to say where I got this model from! You can buy it here PIRATE SITE....LINK REMOVED....ZATHROS There's also an R2-D2 model for sale there too, so I bought that as well! The designer, NAME REMOVED, recommends 200gsm card for his models but I only had 160gsm to...

I started this model recently and thought I would share with you my progress so far:- Here are a few photos I took while I was building the fuselage:- I also thought I would show you the tools and equipment I use to build all of my models:- I use the Swann-Morton scalpel for...

Ron, I'm thrilled that you like my build of your superbly designed model :). Yes, I suppose it does take a certain amount of skill to build well, but it wouldn't be possible at all without the skill of the person who designed the model in the first place. I tip my hat to you sir! There's no...

Absolutely stunning! I'm gobsmacked. Hard to believe that's made from paper/card!

Thank you all very much :). Kjev, the base of the stand is the board from an old box file with an image I downloaded and printed stuck on top, and the supports are three clear biro cases. It really is an excellent model. I had about three attempts to make one of the bussard collectors, but...

Not strictly a card model in the conventional sense, but I got this for Christmas and thought you might like to see it:- A fairly simple kit really, but it builds into quite an impressive model I think. HMS Victory is something of a special ship to me, not just because I'm a...

I use watercolour pencils. I wet a brush, not too much, then use it to lift some of the colour from the tip of the pencil and apply it to the edge of the card. I have a box of 36 different coloured pencils at the moment and I've never failed to get a good colour match yet.

I built this some time ago but never posted any photos of it here, so thought I would do so now. Better late then never I suppose! Apologies if this is out of place or only current builds are allowed to be shown. Here is Ron Caudillo's excellent TOS USS Enterprise NCC-1701, it's a superb model...

Thank you for those links :). I've now downloaded a suitable X-wing and will build it as soon as I can.

I've built the Millennium Falcon, a TIE fighter and a Star Destroyer, and I've downloaded models of an AT-AT, a Sandcrawler, the Death Star and R2-D2 to build, but I really want an X-wing too! I've searched the internet for a suitable model but I can't seem to find one, so can anyone point me...
