    Modeling for dummies

    One way is to download models and study them. "Kitbashing", putting models of different types to make something different can give you a real feel. As far as software, that kind of depends on your general background. A compass, rule, and square, a set of French Curves can get you a very long...

    My paper automata

    I really like the movement of the Fox. I can imagine a Horse done similarly using 4 strips and having them going to the legs diagonally. :)

    It can work, but only with water forming the parts after you glue them together. This means you must use a Pigment based Inkjet printer, and waterproof glue. :)

    heavy flamer

    No instructions, but if you know the model, or look at enough images, you should be able to figure it out. :)

    Sloop "Via Così" (Fabrizio Prudenziati)

    Balsa Wood framed Paper Airplanes are covered with tissue paper (a special kind) and when they are glued to the Balsa Wood frame of the aircraft and wings, they are pulled a tight as possible without tearing the tissue. Once dried, the tissue is "doped" ( Nitrocellulose Lacquer) which is a...

    The surface of the Death Star

    WTF! I have never seen such devotion. Will this be a sphere when you're done? Won't you need a zoning permit to keep something like that in your yard? Incredible!!!

    Sloop "Via Così" (Fabrizio Prudenziati)

    I would use clear spray paint, spray the paint into a small paper cup, then stick your brush into the little that accumulates at the bottom of the cup. Don't add or thin it out, just paint the target surface, and you should be all set. As far as the Viper model, you could always print the...

    Spaceagent-9 2017 build pic threads

    Great link!! That's a really great way to make a small boat. I bet it really zips along with that motor, as it's very light. That plastic is very repairable, you just carry a square piece of the blue plastic, and the type glue for it, I forget which one, but it bonds it seconds. I would have...

    Sloop "Via Così" (Fabrizio Prudenziati)

    You could just paint them with clear paint. You would get the same protection. :)

    Sloop "Via Così" (Fabrizio Prudenziati)

    Cyanoacrylate Super glue Glue, probably called "fast glue", not sure what country you are from. Anything that will harden and seal the thread will work. The next boat I make, I am going to use some old Violin strings I have laying around. I would also paint the rails of the boat with the...

    Construction (Building) Laser Aliens Romulus and Cosplay

    Wow!! I don't know how I missed this thread. Did you design the gun. Most people don't realize that if you do not know how to design, you have to download other people's work, fortunately there is a lot of stuff for free, or a nominal amount. They also print in one color (for the most part...

    When (if) you get to the head again, consider cutting out the eyes, printing another set, sand the edge of the holes in the edge so that they are smooth. Place a film of "Saran Wrap" or an plastic cling film over the new eyes and mount them inside the head. It makes the eyes look real. You...

    Introduction

    You have come to the right place for WarHammer40K. I think there are links to more models than I can count. Check out Bill Perry's Warhammer40K thread. It contains more links to models than I can count. Glad to have you on the forum! :)

    Alien(s) Narcissus by DanBKing

    Are you on some planet that revolves really quick and live in a different time realm that allows you to bang out work like this so fast? Excellent looking parts. The whole model will be a sight to behold. ;)

    Paint that thread with Crazy Glue and it will not sage or stretch. It will look great for years. ;)

    Thank you for your Introduction. Making geometric models for Geometry class go me started in paper modeling, as making real looking paper models that actually glided did. Living in a 3 story building was a boon for launching. ;)
