And then, sometimes, you have to flex with the model... My first few kits had a lot of issues I painted over to hide miscalculating how thick of card stock I used, or I had to rebuild more than a few gun barrels because my card stock was too thick... Great thing about these models, when you...

Yes, adding thicker card behind the thinner sheets used to print the model is tricky. I would build up the box, and leave it incomplete enough to work inside of it, before laminating thicker cardboard sheets to it. Measure in the inside distances inside the box-like structure, and trim up the...

Pretty handy reference there @Zergei619! I might end up making some Classic Space Marines with those.... Given how hard the plastic ones are to acquire anymore (and that's before the scalpers premium on top of GW's over-inflated prices).

Looking good so far! If you have questions, send them! I can answer them here or in PM. Looks like the difficulty you are mentioning in Post #5 is using beads for rivets?

Moving on to the treads. Knowing there are options for skirt and slat armor, I am experimenting with 3mm magnets to attach/detach them better. Hopefully the pictures convey the drilling I am attempting. They probably don't convey some of the frustrations Iexperienced getting the magnets in...

I certainly strain my eyes slightly less!

I certainly am likely to never cease experimenting with my greeblies! I decided to 'cheat' for time sake and use some alluminium wire form mesh in lieu of my attempt at venting. When I referenced the BMP-2, this is more in line with the real world inspiration, so I'll stick with it. Also, I...

Nothing too fancy that you haven't seen on this thread before. I do have the advantage of three previously completed models to reference however.... Which is fun. This is like meeting an old friend again, but finding some new things to talk about. You'll note the size difference between the...

Good thing these days, you can find some inexpensive 123 blocks on Amazon and Ebay. The pair I have, I made from A2 tool steel, heat treated, and ground as part of my Precision Machine and CNC courses while attending a local community college using my GI Bill. Most cheap import 123 blocks are...

Just got word today, he's heading home from the hospital! Hopefully we'll see some build updates shortly! Thank you for all the thoughts, prayers, and support!

Well, I have good/bad news. Bad news is @dr_tetrode is recovering in a hospital away from the wonderful Valkyrie he was working on. I'm sure he will post updates upon his return to the workbench when his health allows... Good news is that he seems to be recovering as best is expected. Some...

Printed off, posting near my workbench...

I announced three special projects... Two will get onto that thread. Later. First, I'm building BMP #4! Now that I have printed a BMP on A4 card stock for the first time, this one will be 3% or so larger than the ones previously built scaled to fit US Letter (ANSI A size). I'm also going to...

Given current events, I picked up this special decal sheet from Fallout Hobbies as well as some free StL files with similar doors for the Rhino and Landraiders. The Classic Space Marine pauldrons they provided didn't print so well on my fillament printer, but if you have a resin printer they...

Sudsy updated SU-47 Berkut Glider with a new update entry: Re-inserted files, photos Read the rest of this update entry...

Here it is folks, the final shots of the Brutishdog VOTOMS all painted up and assembled! I'm going to call this build complete for the time being. I've very satisfied with the results, and the sheer size of the rest of the VOTOMS is likely going result in the rest of the kit standing by until...

So, here is the final steps of painting the head, the iconic lens module and the no less character creating antenna arrary for the left side of the head.

I will have to dig for it when I jump back on my PC later....

Forgot to snap a just primed shot, so here is a paint WIP shot instead!

I've posted the files in Resources, at least for review. Given the fact that Papercraft Square is no longer around, I'm a bit suspicious about the models provided there. If anyone has information relating to that old site, let me know I couldn't find anything about the original author (who...
