As I told Rogerio since he asked the same question. Unfortunatly I can't because I made the custom parts on the fly, I didn't design them on the computer, so there's no template :oops: In the next post you can see the changes and maybe duplicate what I did. It wasn't extremely hard, only to get...

That is a very good techique Mike and I'm sure gonna try it on my next model. Thanks !!! And Micah, I'm looking forward to see your build too. Its a very nice model. Cheers, Elko

Once in a while I drop into this thread to see what's happening and now it's ready...... It's truly awesome and jaw-dropping. You worked a long time on this model but the result is out of this world !!! My wife would strangle me if I build such a huge ship but man what a beauty. Simply...

Rogerio, Congratulations on this fantastic piece of craftmanship, and I realy mean that. She looks absolutely fantastic and you can show her with proudness to anyone who visits your home. You've learned, stumbled, solved problems and above all created a great model (out of paper) and had a lot...

I'm glad I live in the NorthEast, much calmer here and hardly any trafficjams. @Rogerio I can't wait to see you showcase pictures !!!! She looks fantastic !!! Oh and the rabbit, pretty cool but I rather have a real one........for dinner :mrgreen: Cheers, Elko

@DanBKing Heh yeah I shop at Action, pretty good stuff at extreme low prices. You paid 2.69 ? You've been had, I paid only 1,79 I bought three of them so I got some on reserve :) I also bought a new hobbyknife there 1,79 with six different blades. The blades aren't so good though so I got six...

Next update, the neck episode.... As I said I made a template for the neck part. I used it for cutting out the right en left side of the neck, I printed some hull plating textures from another part of the model for that. The first pictures show the assembled neck with the template laying in...

Rogerio my friend, Your Enterprise looks absolutely stunning !!!!!:thumb: You've done a fantastic job on this model and you have learned a lot along the way, what else can you ask for ? :) You're not the only one that learned though, by following your build I have picked up quite some tips and...

What kind of paper did you use ? When I wanna build a big size model I'll use at least 180gsm paper and use 240gsm or 1.5mm cardboard for reinforcement. For very large surfaces I laminate the 180gsm onto the 240gsm or 1.5mm. Just asking :) Bummer man that it didn't work out, it was becomming a...

Some people say "it" all starts at 50, no-one ever says what that "it" might be though :eek: And as Micahrogers says "we're gett'n old" is true but you're as old as you feel no ? Little update on the Wanderer. I had to carefully cut my first attempt for the neck off the main hull again...

Ugh, when I read your prior posts I was going Oh-noooo when I saw the color bleeding but you fixed it awesomely Rogerio. Though the tips are from others (and very good tips at that) you had to execute them and you did vey well. No one will notice unless you tell them. I've been thinking about...

Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut, aber ich werde es versuchen. Wenn ich eine Neuberechnung der großen mache, ist er etwa 47cm. Sobald ich beginne zum Modell, mach Ich eine neues Thema im Forum. Ich muss erstmal sehen ob Ich die USS Wanderer fertig krieg. Ugh, Englisch ist einfacher :mrgreen...

You made a very nice model there Rick. As Marko said Jay's models aren't the most detailed one's, but you realy made it into a fantastic model with the nice stand and all. I'm looking forward to see what you will do with the Omega, that's a nice ship !! Cheers and all the best, Elko

Wow she's being assembled !!! What a great ship, AND a great build Rogerio. You're realy pulling it off with this one, she's becoming marvelous. I agree with Rhaven though, color the edges on the nacelles and it will hard to tell it's paper !! Great build :thumb: Cheers, Elko

Thanks Marko for your help. I realy want to build this model, personaly I think it's the best looking Enterprise. Your pictures are sure going to help and if I can't identify a certain part I'll ask. At first I wasn't able to open your version either at Clever's site but the other day I gave...

Thanks Rick. I'm gonna post more pictures when I got some decent results with the tweaks I have to make. Yeah 47 heh, my kids are calling me grumpy old man now :) I'm not old !! and grumpy 'neither !! If you ever get the chance to eat schnitzel in Germany go for it, it's realy good. Back to...

I'm surprised you were able to find my country, it's that small :) Did you get any wooden shoes ? sign1

Those are hard parts !! Getting a nice round shape like that, take your time Rogerio, haste always results in a mess (at least from me). Are you going to use waterpaint or something to get rid of the white cutting seams ? You're doing great !!

"Actually, papercraft IS my break!" Exactly !!! I couldn't take a breake even if they forced me to. I can't spent as much time building as I want to but everytime when I get the chance I go for it. It's the best modeling hobby I ever had, plastic was nice (and I did a real lot of it) but this...

While I'm still in the midle of my build of the USS Wanderer I'm already trying to make my mind up for my next build. I always have a hard time to choose so it's good to start thinking about it allready. I realy realy like the Enterprise B Excelssior class refit by Clever Santoro and I...
