I always loved that ship... it's sinister and very alien. You made a great build out of that one !! Cheers and all the best, Elko

It's starting to come together realy nice Rogerio !! The Nacelle looks real sharp and crisp. I am certainly going to use your thread as a refference when I build Uhu's Enterprise. But what's this ? :) "... Or are you taking a well-deserved break? I think I'm gonna do that when I finish up...

Thank you so much guys for your best wishes :mrgreen: I'm 47 now getting close to 50 :eek: that's half antique !! Had a good birthday though with family around and last night we (my wife, daughter, son and me) went out for dinner in Germany, we live close to the German border, their schnitzels...

Okay next update. After hitting myself in the head a couple times to figure out how in carnation Paragon got this model to look as it does on his site I just took my exacto some glue bottles and started fidgetting. I got the main lower hull as good as finished and prepared for the finishing...

Welcome Streethawk :) I became a member here just a short while ago and Ican tell you that you picked the right forum. It's nice here and everyone is very helpfull when you have questions. I am into SF to and I hope to see some builds from you soon. If you like Battlestar Galactica then this...

Maverick65, I think your model is comming together very nicely and crisp. Maybe I'm saying something blasphemous now but from what I have seen from Jaybat's models I personaly think they're a bit rough around the edges so to speek but when I look at your build then I stand completely corrected...

I'm having some challlenges myself Rogerio with all sorts of tweaks and thingamajigs :) Maybe a real noob question but........hairspray ????? I'm sure you will do fine with the disk part, I'm looking forward to see the ship come together. Cheers and keep using those sticky fingers :) Elko

I have been working on the Wanderer today but hadn't time to make pictures. There are quite some things that I have to adjust, or I don't understand the template. Some things seem attached backwards etc. and the connectioin part between the disk and the main hull don't match. I've been tuning...

Fantastic builds by the both of you !! These are real examples of mastering the craft and showning what can be done with papermodeling. The model itself is an icon and these two builds realy give it credit. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Elko

It's still looking very good Rogerio. As more parts are assembled the more exciting it becomes because you see the final shape coming into view. I think your parts look fantastic, no doubt this isn't one of the easiest models and I don't think your work looks noobish at all. I'm still working...

I haven't had as much time this weekend as I hoped for but still I was able to get some things done. I've started the hull and placed the deflector in place. @Revell-Fan, I'm stumbling on some problems to, the hull part that surrounds the deflector doesn't realy match or either I can't see how...

It's just a small tune-up that I made up myself. I'm trying to learn as much as I can with this and upcomming builds so when I see an opportunity that doesn't do to much damage to the original model then I just try it and see how can make things work. I deffinatly won't be doing that to a...

Rogerio ther will always be things we still have to learn a lot about. The other day I was looking thrue my grandfathers's (he passed away a couple years ago) pictures. He use to make casings for antique clocks, now THAT was skill from the top level. The ornaments he made were just out of...

How big is your model in cm's ? I used to have a plastic model of it when I was still a kid (very long time ago). You could take off the carrier and the cruiser from the sidearms so you had three ships :mrgreen: (I know I was playfull as a kid). Without kidding though, your model looks...

Thanks for all the help guys. I "stole" my son's waterpaintkit and tried some things, it works great and I will use it more often. I allready got me a nice set of watercoloring pencils (they're pricey but worth it). Regarding the paper, I'll keep using the 180gsm on the model I'm working on...

It's not much realy, I lowered part of the front section from the topside of the disk. Here are two pictures. In the first picture I lowered a piece of the fron section, I put a red box around it :) The second picture is a portion of the printed sheet where you can see that the disk is one...

I just started the build of the USS Wanderer Class "Charleston" by Paragon. You can get the model at his website. First thing I did was edit the sheets in Paint Shop Pro and changed the colors contrast etc. to my personal liking. I printed the sheets on 180gsm art-paper which has a nice matt...

Man, every time when I catch up on one of your build posts I think "Why do I even bother". Your models looks absolutely stunning and i'm still far far away to getting even close to your level of skill. It's inspiring though, you show what is possible and I wanna learn how to get there. Not in...

Rogerio those parts look so cool... You're way ahead of me in papercrafting, that deflector and shuttlebay look absolutely stunning. The devotion and effort you are putting into this model is certainly giving it credit and it shows. Keep it up the way you do and you'll have a fantastic...

I'm definatly not giving up on papercrafting :) I paused the RSD though and started one of Paragon's Star Trek ships the USS Wanderer Class. It's not so hard I think and the results are comming out good untill now. If I have time I'll post some build pics later today in a new thread. A...
