    Tie Predator design

    If you look at real Ion Drive engines, they are supposed to have panels facing this way. Out of all of the "Tie" fighters, this is the only one based on science. You do great service in making of this model. ;)

    MIKURU - Animefigur

    Water form the cut facial piece with a damp sponge, using a rounded edge dowel the appropriate size. Fit each piece to the next, till it meets your requirement. When glued and dried, the face can be touched up from the back side the same way, though be careful with water soluble glues. If you...

    Awesome papercrafting on Youtube

    Addendum; I have virtually the same 3D pen. This guy is leaving out so many many step. I would say had probably had close to 20 to 30 hours sanding that body. If he had put plastic strips on the formers, he could have laid the body top with thin Fiberglass matt, and then popped out the...

    Awesome papercrafting on Youtube

    It surely is an awesome build. Not repeatable for anyone else though he does show you how to make it, at certain steps, he could have scanned a sheet a parts, and sold/give out those parts to help the average modeler get there. In many ways, it's easier to build one off models. I've give many...

    In memory of Fabrizio Prudenziati - Zio Prudenzio

    I like that this thread gets revived. He left the world a legacy with his unique designs. Some of them, well let's just say, you had to know how the actual car went together! It would help. :)

    Havoc Marauder from the Bad Batch

    I've mentioned once I want this to be the next "MOM". It is the best one I have seen. Where did you get the wrench or socket to torque those wings down? That video made me laugh. They talked about a bad capacitor, they come in all sizes, some are as big as small buildings, they more often...

    Dr. Tetrode - Valkryie Build II - attempt with color.

    Use a sheet of ultra fine sandpaper for the road, paint a white double strip, and the texture for the road is fantastic. This model cane out so great, I'm sorry my friend, but it's time for you to step up your game. I would like to give you some suggestions, but not till I get your permission...

    A Bit of Guidance Requested in Customizing a Model's Font...

    When it comes to fonts, I import a .jpeg of the font, (or whatever format it is), into Rhino, and copy it. I copy the font exactly as it is, or I am able to cut it out of the .jpeg, either way manipulate it. If you posted a picture of the font you're having trouble with, and can't find an easy...

    Spaceballs the Eagle 5 (Butch Price)

    I own a 24' motor home. It's an old one, but only has 40K miles on it. I love Spaceballs, firstly, because it's funny, but when I first saw the motorhome, I laughed my a$$ off! Nice little guy you have there. That's my motorhome at the Groton, Ct. Submarine base, when I was visiting the...

    Colonial Viper mk1 (sirius replicas) beginner build

    Nice Viper. It's good to start with simple models that yield great results. This model looks great because you took your time and built it straight. In the end, it's not as simple as it feels to you and the proof is the effort you put into getting everything symmetric, and squared up. It...

    SR-71 Blackbird; MP Model; 1/33 by tino

    tino Absolutely excellent and your "Model off Merit" is well deserved. I did not realize how big that model was. It's much harder to make a big flawless, and you have succeeded. Great job!! :)
